We would like to congratulate ‘ryanlewer34’ for his terrific job of making prop picks for the Big Game and for his selection of the Chiefs to cover. ‘ryanlewer34’ cashed in with a total of seven points, grabbing the winning prize of $250 for his efforts!

‘ryanlewer34’ actually tied with ‘hoopster‘, who also had the Chiefs and ‘punter711‘, who picked 7 prop bets correctly. But, ‘ryanlewer34’ had the tie-breaker of 58 total points, while ‘hoopster’ had 51 and ‘punter711’ took the Eagles to cover the point spread.

At OSGA we try to make our annual Super Bowl Contest easy, but last year increased the number of picks to be crowned the winner. Players had to pick 8 prop bets, up from 6, and the winner of Super Bowl LVII against the spread. Players also had to pick the total of the Big Game for the tie-breaker and a shot at an extra prize.

This year the Super Easy, Super Bowl contest paid out a whopping $500 for any players who could correctly pick all 8 prop bets. Two of the selections really sunk players’ chances. The big one, picked by nearly 70% of contest participants, was the total in the first half. The two teams scored right out of the gate and finished way over the posted line of 24.5 points and sunk many players who took under. Over 60% of players chose Philadelphia’s Kenneth Gainwell to out rush the Chiefs Jerick McKinnon. McKinnon finished with 34 yards to Gainwell’s 21, again crushing many players’ chances of cashing in.

Still, four players were able to pick six of the prop bets correctly and the consolation prize gave these players an extra month of OSGA membership for going six (or seven) for 8. The final prize was $50 for any player who picked the exact total for SBLVII. ‘mooney33au’ chose 65 and was closest to the absurd final total of 73, but close doesn’t count, and thus no prize was awarded.

So, another year of NFL football betting is completed. And OSGA Members cashed in throughout the season. Now, all eyes are turned towards March and the return of the OSGA NCAA Tournament Challenge, where OSGA members will be vying for extra prizes throughout the tourney.
