Well, we're at the mid-point here and still going strong. A lot of you have made some decent coin, but it's very close at the top. Good luck to everyone still in the game and thanks for playing.
Outline of the game
Each week (except probably week 2) I will post GOTW match ups with various betting lines. It will typically be based on 2 games from each Conference. You can bet on as many or as few as you want. If you miss a week, it doesn't matter. If you don't like any bets one week, don't bet.
---Everyone begins the game with a fictitious $1000 to use throughout the season. You can bet some of all of it, but if you bet it all, and lose, you're done for the season.
---If you edit a post with a bet in it after 3 P.M. EST on a game day, you're out of the game.
---Money will accrue or dwindle over the season and you can only bet what you have on hand.
---Make sure your bet is clear. Any questionable bets will just be discounted.
---Agent with the most money at the end of the season wins. Doesn't appear to be any real cash prize money or flex as I don't plan on putting any up, but there's still a chance someone will come through with a donation, if GLB accepts it.
Any questions, ask me. Any disputes, I am the sole arbitrator.

GOTW1: Guyana Generalissimo's (6-3) @ The African Predators (5-4) http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=5370&team2=4411
I didn't love the match ups over in Lion this week, and Elephant had too many good ones to pass up, so I'm going all Elephant this week. We start with a very intriguing match up between GG and TAP. TAP comes off a brutal SoA/WWR/ICB stretch and not looking to fall to .500. They did put a whooping on the Ron's Texans team that just went out and shocked GG. GG hasn't really beaten anybody yet, with the exception of an early win over A7, and their schedule is about to get really ugly. This is a big game for both teams, but especially for GG who could find themselves on a 5 game losing streak if they don't win this game.

GOTW2: Black Sea Sunami (7-2) @ The Dead Presidents (5-4) http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=269&team2=7028
BSS is rolling through the easy part of their schedule and looking at home playoff games. Their only 2 losses are no shame, and they proved they could compete with WWR. TDP had some solid wins over GG and A7 before getting ripped apart by ABD. This is the kind of game that might fall into the "trap" category and BSS must stay awake for it, but they should have no problem here.

GOTW3: Ivory Coast Breakers (8-1) @ Sons of Anubis (9-0) http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=5174&team2=5348
Ivory Coast is a great team, with tons of connections to an Alpine team that I respect so much, but SoA is just sick. I'm actually interested to see how they do against NBA Jam Arcade the same day. I know ICB will be ready, but this would be a huge upset with the way Sons are playing right now.

GOTW4: Ron's Texans (3-6) @ MaRAWK!!o (4-5) http://goallineblitz.com/game/compare_teams.pl?team1=5214&team2=2837
Both teams with faint playoff hopes still. Texans just shocked GG after losing 6 in a row, but they have a very legitimate chance at getting back to .500 at 6-6 if they win here. MaRAWK hanging on to an early win over A7, but back to back losses against ECS and Zimbabwe pretty much have them out of hunt. They HAVE to win here because I really don't see them getting to 8 wins without a win here. I think that if they run the ball, and commit to it, they can beat Ron's. On the flip side, the Texans need to hold on to the ball. Turnovers have killed them. Whoever loses this is pretty much effectively out of the playoff hunt.
