Everyone MUST use the lines posted on the Bobo League website. Lines will be posted to the website and emailed every gameday. (Example: A Monday night NFL game will have it's line posted and emailed on Monday morning).

All Saturday, Sunday and Holiday games will have their lines posted and emailed on the most previous business day (Example: Thanksgiving Day lines will be posted on Wednesday, and all weekend games will be posted on Friday.)

"Bobo League Official Lines"

Note: The posted lines will be the USA Today web version lines. Please keep in mind that we have noticed that their lines change throughout the day, so please make sure that you use the lines that are posted on the website and emailed to you.

Note: If you call in a pick with an incorrect line, then I will adjust your pick using the official lines.

Note: If you call in a pick that is listed as "NL" then you will not be given credit for that pick. If this is your only pick of the week, then you be docked $5.00 and one point.

Note: If you are travelling or get in a bind then you may call me for the lines, but please do not abuse this.

2) Called into Marc. The number is 412-805-0046 (which has a day/time stamp). Marc will not be responsible for any calls not left at this number.
NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!

Please make your message short and to the point. Your message should sound like this. "This is Marc, and I want the Steelers -3 for One Point, and the Eagles +10 for Two Points."

All picks MUST be called in prior to the start of the game you are picking.

 
Prize Money
 1st place - 75% of the total pot
2nd place - 15% of the total pot
3rd place - 10% of the total pot


Tiebreaker(s): If there is a possibility of a tie for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place at the end of the season, then the total points of the Super Bowl will be used as a tie breaker. You must call in your total points prediction when you call in your Super Bowl Picks. Total points cannot be used as your One, Two, Three, or Four point pick... It is for tiebreaker purposes only.

If there is still a tie, the next tiebreaker is the total number of correct one point picks made through the season.

If there is still a tie, the next tiebreaker is the total number of correct two point picks made through the season.

If there is still a tie, then a thumb wrestling match will determine the winner. :-)

Note: All payouts are collected at the end of the season. No money is exchanged during the season.
