Predict UTEP Football Wins, Losses, and Scores

[ATL-Miner]

A little overly optimistic but here it goes,

Home                   Winner         Score

UTEP vs  UNT        UTEP            27-24
OU vs UTEP           OU              42-20
UTEP vs NMSU      UTEP           31-21

UTSA vs  UTEP      UTSA           31-21

As of today, this is what vegasinsider has;


North Texas     -1 / 54.5     UTEP

If this holds, this game will be worth a 3 point bonus in scoring if UTEP wins and you picked UTEP to win.

Time is running out to get your picks and scores in or adjusted before the contest begins.

OU 45 UTEP 13

Kyyote  38-17  7+4=11

Mojo     45-21  0+8=8

Austintacious   56-24  11+11=22

KiddMiner     30-17    15+4=19

ATL-Miner     42-20    3+7=10

Mojo and  m12345678u  tied with 8.  They split the combined 5 points for 1st and 2nd getting 2.5 points each.  Sis and Atl split the point for their tie for third and get 0.5 each

After Week 1

T1 Mojo 2.5

t1 m12345678u  2.5

T3 Sis 0.5

T3 Atl  0.5


the rest have yet to get on the board.

[kyyote]

After Week 1

T1 Mojo 2.5

t1 m12345678u  2.5

T3 Sis 0.5

T3 Atl  0.5

Week 2 differences;

Kyyote  16
Mojo  26
Austintacious 19
m12345678u 21
MIW  21
Sis  7
z 24
Kidd  25
ATL-Miner 19

Sis 1st for 3 points
Kyyote 2nd for 2 points
T3 Austin 0.5 points

Second Place T Mojo 2.5

                    T m12345678u 2.5
Kyyote 2

ATL 0.5+0.5=1

Austintacious 0.5

Next game is @ the Lobos' place up the road.  I am going to say that it will probably be a game in which the Miners are underdogs and so it will involve bonus points if the Miners win.

I just checked Vegasinsider and UTEP is favored by 3!  If that remains, the underdog bonus points won't be available to those who picked UNM(0).

[kyyote]

I will update scores later but MIW is going to get a big jump with extra points for picking the upset.

[kyyote]

OK, I have enormous updating using my actual rules.  I had forgotten to give 1 point for right or wrong picks.  MIW and z also picked up 3 bonus points for picking an upset.

So, drum roll please;

1st Place Miner in Wisconsin 9 points

2nd Place z 7 points

3rd Place  Sis  5.5 points

Mojo   4.5

m12345678u  4.5

Kyyote    4

ATL-Miner  3

Austintacious  2.5

KiddMiner      2



Please check my work.  One point for correct picks.  Three points for picking an upset winner.  Z and MIW both hit this and with first and second place scores, they jumped into the lead.

[kyyote]

Everyone gets a point for correct pick of winning team.

Sis gets 1st place this week off by 10.  I was off by 19 for second place, and ATL-Miner was third with 24 points difference.

So, after updates

First Place is MIW 9+1= 10
Second Place Sis 5.5+1+3=9.5
Third Place z 7.1=8
Kyyote 4+1+2=7
Mojo 4.5+1=5.5
m12345678u 4.5+1=5.5
ATL+Miner 3+1+1=5
Austintacious 2.5+1=3.5
KiddMiner 2+1=3

This is a corrected update.

[kyyote]

The updated and corrected numbers above were wrong.  I had figured them based on Sis picking UTEP versus Charlotte.  So. here is my latest corrected updated correction.
       

MIW  10 points zyx      8 Ky       8 ATL      6 Mojo    5.5 m123   5.5 Sis       5.5 Aus      4.5 Kidd      3

[kyyote]

Everyone picked UTEP to beat LA Tech so there is no change to the scores.

[kyyote]

UTEP 24 FAU 21
1 point for those who picked UTEP to win and 3 bonus points for picking a winning underdog plus the winners of first through third place for being winners of the week.

MIW and Kidd tied for first and split the five points for first and second place each getting 2.5 points.  m12345678 gets the point for third place.

Running totals and first three places;

1. MIW with 16.5 points
2T zman 12
    Ky      12
4. ATL     10
Kidd        9.5
Sis          9.5
m1234    9.5
Austin     8.5
Mojo       5.5

[kyyote]

Miners have opened and are currently giving 1.5 points, so if that holds, the Miners winning wouldn't trigger the bonus for those who picked them.  Those who picked MTU would have a chance to make up a lot of ground quickly.

[kyyote]

Update post MTU game.

Kidd and Mojo picked MTU.

Kidd was one point closer than Mojo.  Both get 1 point for picking the winner and three for picking an upset.  Kidd gets 3 more for 1st place and Mojo 2 for second place.

Sooo...

Ovrall, here is the updated scores.

T1. MIW with 16.5 points
T1. Kidd with 16.5 points
3T zman 12
3T Ky      12
5.  Mojo  11.5
6. ATL     10
Sis          9.5
m1234    9.5
