NASCAR Pool Contest for first diecast ... post season (sponsered by minitor)

[dara]

OK Here is the first contest, open to all 2018 NASCAR Pool participants. If you were not a pool participant, you can guess for fun, but you won't get the prize.

This will be a two week contest, but we need all entries in by Saturday, by the start of the first College Football Playoff game, at 4PM Eastern Saturday, December 29.

The earliest entry closest to the total points in the following games will win the car that minitor picked!

Cotton Bowl Classic, December 29 (#2 Clemson vs. #3 Notre Dame)
Orange Bowl, December 29 (#1 Alabama vs. #4 Oklahoma)
NFL AFC Wild Card game (#5 at #4) (5 or 6 January)
NFL NFC Wild Card game (#6 at #3) (5 or 6 January)
College Football Championship game, January 7

The challenge here is to guess which teams may be playing in the last 3 three games. This means you have to predict the 10 scores by each team and add them up. There are wagering lines for the over/under total for the first two games, so you could to do some research as a start.


Good Luck!

No, you need to predict the total points scored in the 5 games listed... for example, the first game guess might be 20-21, so that is 41 points, then add the next game guess, which maybe 30-10, for another 40 points, etc for the next 3 games. I realize that some may not follow football, but playoffs are the most important games of the season for both College and the NFL, and is a lot more fun than guessing a real number total than a random number in a range... it may spark some interest in watching those games as well for the non-fan.

I can't capture the guesses at the start of the game today, so if you change your guess before then, I need to see a PM from you as well. My nephew is getting married today, so I can't watch the games, or make a list of the guesses... until later tonight. I do have the guesses on my spreadsheet as of this time. Thank you for your cooperation.


Oh, I'll let ilan take the "Price is Right" position, but I don't want to be totally out of it, so I did lower my score guess.
