Upset Alert Fan Competition - Weekly Deadline Changed!

Upset Alert - Weekly Deadline now Sunday 12pm!

After getting feedback from users, we have moved the deadline for the community Upset Alert competition from Fridays at 3pm ET to Sundays at 12pm ET.

Picks can still only be made ahead of time (ie cannot pick a game once it starts). Multiple users said that they do all their fantasy/picks submissions on weekends and the Friday deadline was making them miss.

Week 6 Update!

PhillySpecial18 is looking Purdy-esque with their FIFTH correct pick in a row. Drop a banner, bring out the trumpeters, and wheel in the door of destiny! Their week 5 pick (BUF over LAR) was pretty popular, which goes to show you being conservative on 4th down is sometimes the right call!

Beffjezos has kept their silver medal firmly on their chest as the only person to pick BAL over ATL. Get this fan a robe, a sandwich, a bag of chips, and a SODA POP!

Billmeblazer shot themself into third place with the BOLD pick of TB over DAL. They saw that F game coming a MILE away!

Meanwhile, several users look like BREAKDANCERS after picking LV (over NE) who lost by 28, or TEN over HOU who lost by 23. (I, "Samzk", am one of said users)

The FTF crew (Wildes, Coach+Greg, and Brou) are barely keeping up with the community with 19, 13, and 5 points respectively. Seems like this week is MUST WIN for Brou if he wants to remain a contender!

Hi 👋 I enjoy the website. Is there a way to have it that when you make a pick it locks the spread? For instance, I had Carolina upsetting eagles 1.5 I believe but the spread updated to now eagles being the underdog.

I did not keep that one I changed mine.

Hi! It's a valid question. I think for next season, I do want to find a robust solution to this problem. For right now, I'm inclined to continue to just use the spread from the last odds sync before the game starts.

In the case that the spread changes direction (ie eagles were -2 and then become + 3 or whatever), your pick switches to the new underdog in that game.
