T.I.P - Week 4

Normally this post happens after the Monday night game but with 5 tied for 1st place with 10 points (including J-Rod). Myself and another person are tied in 2nd with 9 points, some scenarios need to be stated (mainly mine).  Here we go...


Everyone in 1st place has TB to cover tonight (-9.5) vs IND, so a TB win and cover will be determine by total points for the game.


Scen 1: TB wins, covers, but its a low scoring game. J-Rod has the total points at 38, other have 35 and 37.  J-Rod is pissed.


Scen 2: TB wins, covers, but its a high scoring game. The highest point total is 38 (which isn't really high) which he has but Mike Rizzo (from the movie Grease maybe?) also has 38. J-Rod can win but will share the pot. J-Rod is pissed.


Scen 3: TB does NOT cover.  This allows the only two people in 2nd place who took IND to be tied with 1st. Yes, a 7-way tie.  I like this scenario because I would have a chance to win but the total would have to be 46 (or more), say 28-20. Da Man is elated.* J-Rod is pissed.


The likelihood is neither of us would win but this week's strong showing puts us 2 and 3 pts respectively off the overall leader (36). We'll let you know...


UPDATED:  So Scen 4 happened. TB didn't cover (yes). In the 2nd half it all of a sudden became a score-fest (yes) and final was 24-17 making the total, 41 pts (no).  Which someone had exactly.

JRADM are tied for 4th, 3 pts off leader (overall).

*this would allow Da Man to skirt payment.
