Now for this round, everyone must still wager all their points. The deadline for making your picks will be 6:00 pm EST on Super Bowl Sunday, Feb 7, 2010.
We get tricky in the championship round because we allow for more complicated wagering with multiple options. In this round, you can bet your points using the following lines:
Spread Wagers:
New Orleans vs Indianapolis (entire game) -5.5
New Orleans vs Indianapolis (first half) -3.5
New Orleans vs Indianapolis (first quarter) -2
Over/Under Wagers:
Over/Under (entire game): 56.5
Over/Under (first half): 28.5
Over/Under (first quarter): 15.5
Over/Under (fourth quarter): 14.5
Money Line Wagers:
Indianapolis -210
New Orleans +175
With the moneyline wagers you are picking the straight-up winner. A 10 point wager on New Orleans, as underdog, wins you 17.5 points if they win the game outright, while you would have to wager 21 points on Indianapolis, as favorite, to win 10 points. Example - If you have 10 points and wager it all on New Orleans to win on the moneyline would win you 17.5 points for a final total of 27.5, while OTOH, if you have 21 points and wager it all on Indianapolis to win on the moneyline, you would win 10 points for a final total of 31 points.
You may also parlay any two or three or four of the spread or over/under lines (money line bets may not be parlayed) for a payout of 3:1, 4.5:1, or 6:1, respectively.
To win a parlay bet, all of the wagers in the parlay must win or you lose the entire wager.
You can use any number of combinations that your point total will allow. You can make several regular bets, or different parlays, or a combination of both. You cannot parlay more than four bets per play however.

If you have questions about any of this, just ask on this thread. Someone will be able to help you explain.
This is the thread on which to make your picks.
Good luck!
