(DISCLAIMER: This contest is for entertainment purposes only. No actual money is being wagered. Also, I did not actually transfer any missing money to my own account. This suspiciously specific denial was for employed comic effect only. Really.)
Before we get to this week's picks, I have to post an updated version of the standings. Thanks to chuckycrater, I fixed three calculation errors:
- On winning money line bets, the original bet was not being returned to the player.
- Under certain circumstances, won games within a losing parlay were being credited as individual wins. This affected only one player, zls44.
- Some sloppy rounding caused variances of a cent or two in players' totals.
With those corrections, below are the correct standings after Week 3. The below does not include results from the Thursday night ACC game between I Can't Remember and I Can't Be Bothered To Look It Up. Aren't all ACC football teams pretty much the same, anyway?
