Well, that was fun. Santa Cruz/Mares headlined an exciting weekend of fights which translated to an explosive week of scoring in the BLH Pick'em Game.
Kap-POW! Weekly honors go to kapital98 who scored a huge 56.5 points with a deadly one-two punch of picks: Mosley by KO and LSC by decision. His economical two-for-two sheet punched way above weight and launched him into third place overall.
In second for the week with a very respectable 46 points is BackScreenLob who went 3-for-4 with a double on Mosley by KO and a triple on LSC by decision. Next was TheXeeG with 43, TheDemolitionDan with 41, and joebustemup with 35.
Indulge me while I geek out for a second .... Each week I analyze the point differential—overall and by pick—to see how well I set odds. You guys beat me up good this week with an overall differential of +207.5. Interestingly, while LSC by decision was the highest paying prop of the week (up to 27), the total payout for that line was just +47. Compare that to Ruiz/Ceja, for which the underdog paid, which was +78. I really got my rear end handed to me on the Mosley/Mayorga line which was +217.5. If I were a Vegas bookmaker, I'd be hanging from the roof of the Sands by my thumbs. The tougher picks were Bryan/Rossi (-13), Paez/Echeverria (-56), and especially the Ruiz/Ceja over/under (-66).
Again, the top two pickers swap spots as johnny_o hops back in to first place with 77 while Hunger For More slides back into second with 74.5. kapital98 rides his huge week into third place with 61, and BackScreenLob sees his momentum land him in the fourth spot with 59.5. DiegoCosta19 rounds out the top five with 54.
On Tap: College Football is back (#GoDucks) but there's still some boxing to be had this weekend. McDonnell/Kameda rematch Saturday night in what is probably the marquee matchup. Also Dirrell/Rubio and a busy card from Leeds, England.
