2019 ACC Picking Contest (Degenerate Gamblers Rejoice!!)

[HereBeforeCoachK]

Yeah, I hate rooting against us crushing someone so I usually just pass when I don’t think we will cover.

But this is a degenerate contest, if it was real I would have sat pat when I had about +8700. No fun in that though.

I've been very accurate on Duke games lately...picked Duke to cover at UVA while I picked UVA to cover at Duke, and Louisville to cover, and State to cover.
Now Wake, Clemson, VT on the other hand....those teams always foul me up....

Are you cheating off my play sheet, Bob?

I realize you are joking around; however, I am compelled to reply. I always make my bets before looking at other Degenerates picks because when I screw up I desire to own my screw up...no excuses no weasel room.

I took Virginia (-5) in tonight's Big Monday action.

Va - VATech line is now VA -5.5 and a 119.5 o/u.

Last night I got VA -4 and a 121.5 u.

Every little bit helps.

It was, of course, in jest. Why would you want to sink to my mediocrity?

I am in the process of regressing to the (my) mean.

119.5 is a crazy under. Ridiculous. Who on Earth...

I just bet it. Everyone knows that Virginia plays the slowest pace in the land at 59.4 possessions per game (by comparison, Duke plays at 72+ possessions per game pace). But did you know that Va Tech is also in the bottom 20 in pace of play with just 63.9 possessions?

I kinda like Va Tech to make a game of it, but without Justin Robinson I just can't get on the 5.5 point line.

I'll take UVA 65-58, please

[Troublemaker]

This game feels like 65-49 UVA. Strongly feels that way.

[Bob Green]

There were 140 points scored in the first meeting: Virginia 81, Virginia Tech 59. Just saying...

Why, only 2 days ago we had:

Notre Dame 54

UVa 60



Exactly why I don't shame myself here, even with DBR internet money.

[du_bb1]

I'm thinking 68-62 V over V Tech.......maybe should say hoping...

need....more...points...must ....hit...the....over.....

Va Tech doesn’t score 50. O/U depends on how many UVA puts up. 😎

I need 70-50....70-49 a push for me....

[Fish80]

I got UVA -4.5 and over 118. Maybe they hit 119 and everybody wins!

I got UVA at -4.5...but OU was up to 119.5 and rising...so I snatched the O there.

On pace for 120 ... going to be close.

[HereBeforeCoachK]

On pace for 120 ... going to be close.

Pace of 124.8 at the 15 minute mark...(it's a sickness, checking the pace at the even minute marks in the game...)

UPDATE: now back down to 120 at 12 minute mark...

[NYBri]

The last second layup by Virginia tech was a killer. Lost the under by half a point. 😎

There was a bit of a scoring surge at the end...to put it over. I got a double win...

BTW: Question: when does this contest end? End of Reg Season? End of ACCT?
