Here you will find the weekly odds that Paul Conti (Raiders) is listing for all of our weekly games throughout the season. New odds will post on Mondays after the league file is released for the coming week. With Paul now moving these odds to our Slack environment, I thought I would launch an OPTIONAL contest for all league members, including Wait List members if they so choose.

SURVIVOR CONTEST! (NO ONE is required to participate in this contest)

Odds for the coming week will post Mondays on this channel for the coming week. Missing a week will be considered the same as making a failed pick. The good news is that the only deadline you have for your submission is kickoff of games. Once the game number is posted at kickoff, that game is removed from the list of games you can choose from. Nevertheless, even if you haven’t made a selection by Friday, as long as games remain on the schedule, you can enter for the week.

THE ODDS POSTED BY PAUL ARE FACTORED INTO YOUR WEEKLY BETS. In other words, you DO get credit for the plus or minus points from the listed odds. For example, if you select the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1, you will get 2 points in that game; so, if the Chiefs lose by just a point, you still have a winning pick for Week 1. If the final score of your bet results in an EXACT match (the listed point spread results in a tie), you get credit for a winning pick. Two failed picks will eliminate you from this contest.

To place your bet, just post under the odds listing on this channel with the TEAM NAME that you want to bet on for the week. Similar to Survivor Pools you may have competed in elsewhere, each coach may only pick a team ONCE during the course of the contest. Picking your own team is allowed, because you can only do it once. We will track this contest and post weekly to make it very easy for you.

Reminder: Missing ANY week will result in a failed pick. Failing to get a RIGHT pick in any week will be a failed pick. And two failed picks will eliminate you from the contest. The eventual winner will be the last man standing, of course. If ALL remaining participants are eliminated in the same week, all participants stay alive to play through another week.

If you are interested in participating in this OPTIONAL game, make sure to get your pick in ahead of the league’s games at the #conti_corner channel in Slack.
