33-17-4. I missed a few games as I typed them in. Sue me. How'd you do?

Since you did so well overall, but not so much in the games that count , it begs the question: Do you crack under pressure, or is FS really good at choosing the hardest games to predict?

There are three options for your pick.
Option 1: Minnesota (you get 2 points if Minnesota wins by 2 goals or more)
Option 2: Duluth (you get 2 points if Duluth wins, ties, or loses by 1 goal)
Option 3: Duluth Straight Up (you get 5 points if Duluth wins the game)

Are you boycotting the bonus questions?

I think it's pretty obvious the answer...

'23 posted the games after I posted my picks. You do the math.

And my picks - and scores - for this week have been up since then, too. I've noticed none of you other loudmouths has had the cojones to try.

Re: 2013-2014: NCAA Weekly Pick'em

There is NO rush to score this weekend. In fact, if you're busy FS, why not just skip it and move on?

The bonus really helped, along with three people correctly picking a Bulldog victory yesterday. The bonus question answers were: 10 goals in the BU-UND series, and 22 powerplays in the ECAC on Saturday Night.
