Thanks to all these posters for playing, especially those of you who were "regulars" during the season.

Be sure to keep up with the contest, and feel free to provide commentary about the remaining contestants...

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 3, 2008.

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:
Giants vs Patriots (entire game) -12.5

Giants vs Patriots (first half) -6.5

Giants vs Patriots (first quarter) -3.5

Over/Under Wagers:
Over/Under (entire game): 53.5

Over/Under (first half): 27.5

Over/Under (first quarter): 12.5

Over/Under (fourth quarter): 13.5

Money Line Wagers:
Giants +375
Patriots -450

Super Bowl MVP Wagers:
Tom Brady 1:2
Eli Manning 7:2

You may also parlay any two or three or four of the spread or over/under lines (money line wagers and MVP wagers 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, 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!
