The Chris Thomas 5 Star Pick 3 Handicapping Contest

“ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR UNIT”

The 2014 NFL Season kicks off tonight…and with it comes the return of the Chris Thomas 5-Star Pick-3 Handicapping contest…where our group of degenerates picks 3 games every week against the number and tries to come out on the Black side of the balance sheet to fill the Virtual Piggybank. The full explanation and rules can be found in this post.

Everyone from 2013 is returning for the 2014 season…and we have added Josh Riley as well to round out at an even 10 players. How did we do in 2013 you ask…moving on…

Yeah it was that bad…I will put together a final breakdown post for the 2013 season this weekend…but wanted to get these picks up before the game starts tonight so you can run with them at your local S.T.I.B.. No NCAA love from Hunter in Week 1…but be sure to expect some in the coming weeks.

Kansas city is the most popular play on the board with 3 Units being wagered…3 more Units will follow the Panthers/Bucs outcome with Units on both sides and the total…Cincy…The Pack…The Eagles…The Saints…and the OVER in the Raiders/Jets match all get 2 Units a piece…with a smattering of 1-Shots across the rest of the board.

Good Luck in Week 1 everybody! (more…)

The Chris Thomas 5 Star Pick 3 Handicapping Contest

“ALWAYS PROTECT YOUR UNIT”

We enter the final 3 weeks of the 5-Star contest with only 2 players in the BLACK…it’s more about seeing which of them can hang on till the end at this point than some others climbing up to join them…It looks to be another Sink or Swim weekend with 4 Units each being played on Da’ Bears and Philadelphia…3 Units wagered on the Kansas City outcome…and a Double Shot on Seattle and The Giants going OVER…No more NCAA games for Hunter…but hopefully he will grace us with his Master Locks for the upcoming Bowl Season soon… (more…)
