Hello VFV Nation...this is the weekly thread that we post to give the weekly winners and update the leaderboards of our popular NFL & NCAA contests that we host at our dedicated contest site at http://contests.viewfromvegas.com and http://contests.viewfromvegas.net. Our NCAA contest mirrors the College Pick'em at William Hill as players make 7 picks a week from 25 games picked by WillHill. The weekly deadline is 8 a.m. PT Saturdays (so everyone can see everyone's selections if they want in advance of the early games that start at noon ET/9 a.m. PT. Their contest ends after 10 weeks but we continue it through Thanksgiving Weekend (I pick the 25 games those weeks). The season-long prize is two rooms at a Vegas hotel, dinner for 2 with yours truly and a ViewFromVegas shirt. Second place is dinner for 2 with yours truly and a ViewFromVegas shirt. There is also a weekly prize of dinner with yours truly or a VFV shirt if you're not going to visit Vegas in the next year. For a weekly winner to be provided, the top score must be 7-0. In case of a tie, the weekly winner will be the 7-0 entrant whose teams cover by the most combined points. You are allowed to win multiple weekly prizes in the same season, but only once via tiebreaker (if someone wins a second time via tiebreaker, the prize will go to the 2nd-highest tiebreak score).
Without further ado, we had 2 contestants (AronT1 & str8outtadurango) post perfect 7-0 records, so we go to the tiebreaker of whose teams covered by the most combined points and the winner was str8outtadurango at +77.5 over AronT1 at +59.5, so str8outtadurango wins his choice of dinner with yours truly (maybe we'll go back to the lobster truck that was on "Shark Tank" LMEAO) or a ViewFromVegas shirt.
Here's the updated leaderboard with uniqorn, juicebox & Texan73 tied for the lead heading into the last weekend of play. Now, this is important so I'm putting it in bold: for those who don't know, we use Friday & Saturday games on this last week only, though I only chose to include 5 Friday games...anyway, the deadline is kickoff of the first game you use if using a Friday game (noon ET/9 a.m. PT for the first 3 games on the contest page and then Cincinnati-Memphis at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT and then Washington State-Washington at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT); otherwise, the regular 11 a.m./8 a.m. PT Saturday deadline applies. I'll then post the leaders' plays below in this thread and we'll track the competition until we crown our NCAA season champ!:
Our NFL contest mirrors the SuperContest at the Westgate Las Vegas as players make 5 picks a week from the full NFL card vs. the Westgate's contest lines. The weekly deadline is 1 a.m. PT Saturdays (just like the "real" SuperContest). The season-long prize is two rooms at a Vegas hotel, dinner for 2 with yours truly and a ViewFromVegas shirt. Second place is dinner for 2 with yours truly and a ViewFromVegas shirt. There is also a weekly prize of dinner with yours truly or a VFV shirt if you're not going to visit Vegas in the next year. For a weekly winner to be provided, the top score must be 5-0. In case of a tie, the weekly winner will be the 5-0 entrant whose teams cover by the most combined points. You are allowed to win multiple weekly prizes in the same season, but only once via tiebreaker (if someone wins a second time via tiebreaker, the prize will go to the 2nd-highest tiebreak score).
In NFL Week 12, there were no perfect scores in our contest so no weekly prize.
And here's the updated NFL leaderboard with Aztec10 & Rush4life3 taking over the lead, but several others within striking distance with 5 weeks to go:
