*** Official CatsIllustrated Stupid Underdog Pick Contest - Week 10 ***

ESPN is showing Okie State and Kansas as a pick 'em. What gives? Is that SUP still going to be valid on Saturday or not? No way should OKSt be a 14-point underdog.
 
Auburn

***Not on the list although they're +13.
***Be careful, most likely not going to count if they’re not on the list.

@Old_Red is a man of integrity. Slim chance those picking Oklahoma State will get 14 points if they do win. Line opened at Kansas +4.

Folks picking them trying to buck the system should get a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
 
Maryland

***deleted my Oklahoma State pick and re-picked with this one. Didn’t know what all the hubbub was about until I looked into it…didn’t feel right after I seen the current line.***
 
Auburn

***Not on the list although they're +13.
*** Don't choose them if they are not on the list. I only score what I listed. If you go to vegasodds.com and check the Draft Kings line, it has it at -14.5 Kansas. It is the only line that has anything close to that. It isn't as if it has changed from when I ran it on Sunday night. I just checked the DraftKings site and it has it as a pick'em.

I'm afraid that I'll have to invalidate it as a pick.

Remember do not edit your picks since the first games have happened. Just post a new pick saying that you want to replace your previous pick. I will get a snapshot around 7 tonight and I already have one snapshot so I'll see changes so you could trust me to get it right or follow my suggestion to make a new post with a comment.

Well, that was interesting. It appears that the odds for the Oklahoma State @ Kansas game that I posted were a better predictor than I and others thought. For those not in the know, I had to strike that game because the odds listed on vegasodds.com differed from DraftKings odds for the game and differed with all other betting services. I thought it was a mistake that shouldn't count. Kansas thought it was fine and managed to win the game anyway. If you see odds that look totally bogus, try to message me or post like @SaltyCat22 did. If you pick that team any way, be advised that I might strike the game if the odds were in error. I don't mind the odds changing a few points, but a 14 point difference with all other services is too much. I bet @warrior-cat is just fine with me pushing him off OK State. @ukmonty2001 you edited your pick on Saturday morning right after you posted it. While that seems like it should be within my rules, I had to add your pick because my code isn't yet smart enough to know that your pick and edit were in between games so should be allowed. Seems like a good addition but safer is not to edit your picks after the first kickoff of the week. Same goes for @TOMCATS1990, I didn't do a snapshot Thursday night so had no idea who you had picked before Nebraska. Didn't matter since Nebraska lost.

I'll try to pay closer attention to the next SUP thread and may wait until Monday to get more of the games in so that @jameslee32 won't have to miss out on a game (Auburn odds weren't up when I grabbed the odds).

Yep
 
I'm going to wait until tomorrow to post Week 11. Most of the late afternoon games and night games are missing odds on the site I use. Hopefully tomorrow they'll have them.
