King of the Game Recap: OSU vs. TCU

Welp…

A disappointing Week 4 is in the books. Despite the loss, we still have to award our players their points. Every player gets a point for a correct pick. We tally up the points each week and the player with the most points at the end of OSU’s season (bowl game included) wins! Wins what? Bragging rights.

Before we do that, let’s recap our categories from the week. (Here is the original post.)

• Bet Against the Spread: OSU (-11)
Yeah… Vegas was wrong about OSU again, though this week I wish they weren’t.

• More Turnovers Forced: OSU or TCU
TCU forced four turnovers to OSU’s one.

• Over/Under: +45% TCU 3rd-down efficiency
TCU finished 11-19 on third downs for 57.89% efficiency.

• King of the Game: Running Back (OSU or TCU)
Everyone either picked Justice Hill or Darius Anderson, and Anderson easily ran away with it (pun intended). Anderson had 160 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries. Hill accounted for 102 yards and one TD on 25 carries.

With that let’s award some points.

Phillip – 1 point(s)

Bet Against the Spread: OSU
More Turnovers Forced: OSU
Over/Under: Under
King of the Game: Darius Anderson
Prop Bet: Rudolph finishes with more than twice as many passing yards as Kenny Hill.
Rudolph finished with 170 more yards, but not more than twice as many. He did have twice as many TDs… and INTs.

Kyle – 1 point(s)

Bet Against the Spread: OSU
More Turnovers Forced: OSU
Over/Under: Over
King of the Game: Justice Hill
Prop Bet: Tyron Johnson leads the team in receiving TDs.
Johnson did not record a single reception.

Nick – 1 point(s)

Bet Against the Spread: OSU
More Turnovers Forced: OSU
Over/Under: Under
King of the Game: Darius Anderson
Prop Bet: I mentioned this up top, but I have zero trust in Kenny “Trill”. I think he turns the ball over himself at least twice, maybe three times.
Close. He had one interception. He also had two fumbles but TCU recovered both.

Enemy: Melissa Triebwasser – 4 points

Bet Against the Spread: TCU
More Turnovers Forced: TCU
Over/Under: Over
King of the Game: Darius Anderson
Prop Bet: Kenny Hill gets more than 50 rushing yards I think Hill’s feet could be a difference maker for TCU’s offensive game plan.
Hill had only 15 yards on the ground.

Fan: Alan Vaughan – 1 point(s)

Bet Against the Spread: OSU
More Turnovers Forced: OSU
Over/Under: Over
King of the Game: Justice Hill
Prop Bet: Justice Hill goes for over 200 yards.
As previously mention, he only had 102 yards.

Totals:

Fan – 12
Enemy – 11
Nick – 6
Phillip – 5
Kyle – 5

Another week, another guest picker dominates. This is starting to get really embarrassing for the three writers (myself included). Hopefully we (and OSU) will have a better week this Saturday against Texas Tech.

Also, if you’d like to be this week’s guest picker, let me hear your reasoning. And it had better be funny because I need a good laugh after Saturday’s game.
