The second week of the NFL season was is in the books!

Unfortunately, NO Members got all six of the picks correct. Starting with the Sunday afternoon Game of the Week, players were all over the Chiefs to cover, but their 23-20 win gave the Chargers the cover ATS. Cam Netwon outdueled Russell Wilson in the QB matchup and the final nail in the Pick 6 coffin was Alvin Kamara accumulating a whopping 95 yards receiving on MNF.

The prize pool grows to $150! Players can enter at any time so get onboard for Week 3.

Check back by Thursday for the Week 3 picks!

The first week of the NFL season was a tough week of picking games!

Unfortunately, NO Members got all six of the picks correct. Starting with the Sunday afternoon Game of the Week, players were split between the Bucs and Saints on the first pick and the Over or Under for the 2nd pick. By the time we got to MNF only a handful of players were left and nobody had all of the MNF plays correct, so we go to Week 2!

The prize pool grows to $100!

Check back by Thursday for the Week 2 picks!

Led by Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Joe Burrow, the LSU Tigers won the National Championship by defeating Clemson 42-25. The final game of the College Football Playoff was also the final game of our first ever NCAA Big 6 Bowl Contest, exclusively for members.

It was easy to grade the overall winner of the contest as just one member got all of the games right. Long-time OSGA member ‘Tee’ picked every game correctly to cash in on the grand prize of $100. But the prizes didn’t end there for members.

To keep the contest interesting, right through the final game, there were two totals that hinged on the score of the National Championship. The total for the game and the total of all seven College Football playoff games. The total for LSU and Clemson was 67 and several players were very close. But, ‘theguesser’ missed it by just one point, with a pick of 66. Remaining was the score of all the games, which ended up being a whopping 411. Again, several players were within a handful of points, but ‘H8H8rs’ missed it by just four points with his pick of 407.

And there was a consolation prize for whoever picked five of the seven of the games correctly. Four members were able to just that and have had their memberships extended by one month.

Congratulations to every member who played in the OSGA Big 6 Bowl Contest. Look for more great contests in the future!

Congratulations go out to “Kevy” the winner in the first ever OSGA members NFL Survivor Contest!

Week 10 of the NFL season had two enormous upsets; the Dolphins took out the Colts and the Falcons beat up on the Saints. These two huge double-digit dogs eliminated four players from the tournament, leaving Kevy’s pick of the Cleveland Browns as the lone correct selection. Kevy takes the entire winning pot of $600!

The ‘Final Five’ duked it out for five weeks, until the football upset gods took over to make Kevy the Last Member Standing. As four players were all eliminated at the same time, they will split the prizes for places 2-4, which totals $350. Congratulations to everyone who lasted this long in our first Last Member Standing contest. For the final standings, head to the contest at http://www.mysideline.com/u/20099/nfl/seasonstandings.htm

Thanks to every member who took a shot to be the Last Member Standing and congratulations to the Final Five for a great run.

Check back later in 2019 for more Members’ Only contests!

After 6 weeks, All Five Are Still Alive!!

The pool increases to $350 this week as the picks are getting tougher and tougher.

Good Luck to the Final Five!

The OSGA Team

The Final 9

Four weeks into the first ever Last Member Standing contest and just nine players remain. Last week every player that advanced had the Los Angeles Chargers over the Miami Dolphins. Keep in mind the contest pool grows every week and now it starts to get really fun and interesting. So far the pool is up to just $150, but starting next week advancement is worth an additional $75 and in November the prize pool grows by $100 every week. Get the full breakdown on the Complete Rules page, here.

Players are urged to check their previous picks so you don’t pick the same team twice as our own OSGAJim did with the Chargers this past Sunday. To see who you (and your competitors) have picked, head to the Contest page and click on Reports, then choose Player Summary.

Good Luck to the Final 9 in the OSGA Last Member Standing contest.

WE HAVE A WINNA!!

We are happy to announce the winner of the OSGA Members Only Super Easy, Super Bowl Contest. VIP Member ‘jkressen1’ managed to somehow pick 6 correct props, despite the lackluster offensive (or great defensive) effort in Super Bowl LIII.

Way to go ‘jkressen1’!!

One other member also had 6 correct prop bet selections. So as usual, we had to go to the tie breaker. But, with such a low scoring game, every player went over the total score. Thus, we had to go to the second tie-breaker according to the rules.

“If all players go OVER the total score or there is still a tie after using the final score total tie-breaker, the 2nd tie breaker of the number of first downs by the winning team will be used. Again, if no player has the exact number of first downs, the closest to the total number of first downs without going over will be the winner.”

The Patriots had 22 first downs in all, including four by way of penalty. Long-time member ‘H8H8rs’ also had six correct picks and chose 28 first downs, going over, while ‘jkressen1’ picked 21 first downs to grab the $250 prize in this winner-take-all contest.

In addition, players who got 5 or more props correct also got a free month of OSGA membership tacked on to their existing VIP subscription. In all, five players got the extra month!

We thank all of the members who participated and look forward to presenting the 18th annual OSGA NCAA Basketball Challenge in March!
