And, still more B10 vs ACC games available. Gophers are 2 point underdogs.

Deadline for Picks is 5:00​

The competition is pretty simple but please check The Rules if you have any questions or aren't sure how to proceed. Also, please note that you must make a pick at least once every three weeks to remain in the competition. There's more in an Announcement about when we will shift to two divisions, etc. You can also send me a Personal Message or e-mail if any questions or problems.

Please use the colon after your moniker ... I use a macro to enter your picks on a spreadsheet and the macro relies on the colon to get it properly entered.

PPD Standings after 12/01/09 Games

Best day of the season with a 28-2-3 record -- a .933 winning ratio. The only losses came from picks for Northeastern and Colorado State.
  • Purdue wins but it's a push for PPD as they were favored by 11 and won 69-58. 3 of us picked Purdue and nobody picked Wake Forest.
  • Providence was a 3-pt underdog but won by 4. I thought about taking Providence but they'd been inconsistent.
  • NU beats NCState by 12, underdogs by 4.5. They've been surprisingly resilient after losing Coble.
  • A future opponent, Morgan State, lost by 12 to Loyola (MD). No line on that game but it seems like a somewhat surpisingly large margin.
  • Maryland covered their -5 spread with a 12-pt win over the Hoosiers.
  • Today's Picks: 28 wins, 2 losses and 3 pushes for a 0.933 Won-Loss ratio.
  • YTD Picks: 352 wins, 279 losses and 17 pushes for a 0.558 record
  • Consensus Pick is Va Tech (-2) picked by 12 for the win
  • YTD Consensus Picks: 13 wins, 11 losses and 1 pushes for a 0.542 record
