*** Official CatsIllustrated Stupid Underdog Pick Contest - Week 4 ***

Unless there has been a massive line change, Florida Atlantic shouldn't be an underdog.
I didn't archive the web page when I made the odds so there is no way to check. They've made those types of errors before. Since I don't know all of the teams, there is no way I am going to double check and catch everything. Sure looks like they may have had it flipped when I made the odds originally. Nothing I can do about it now.
 
This is going to be interesting, but first things first.

Attention!!

Next week's game is going to work with different rules because of changes brought about by the new board format. I just realized that people can delete their posts without it showing up at all in the final version. That means I can't keep people from cheating by picking an early game, deleting their post when that team doesn't win and moving on to another game. Sooo, the final cut off for making a pick in the contest will have to be the first game kickoff. Any picks after that will be too late. I'll probably drop the Thursday or earlier games.

Now back to this week. uk_num_1, you picked Utah and that's great but you picked at 2:32 pm and I had the kickoff at 12:00. If you can prove that it really did kick off after 2:30 pm, I'll give you the points. It was pointed out that the odds on Florida Atlantic looked backwards and were, indeed, opposite of what they ended up. All I can say is that I am pretty confident that I have all the bugs wrung out of the code that reads the odds so the odds that were listed when I grabbed the odds probably were listed wrong. They've made that mistake before and I didn't catch it. All I can do is give those were savvy enough to recognize it credit. Maxwell41, you also picked Utah, but you picked Ball State first and didn't tell me that you wanted to override your first pick so you get your first pick. Sorry...
