Ohio's Finest
That's right, Warren, we ran off with $150,000 of your secret stash. Now we're going to use it to bet on college football games and there isn't a damn thing your rotten corpse can do about it.

UPDATE
Voting is now closed. Thanks to all who participated.

YOUR WEEK 3 PARLAY PICKS
OHIO STATE (-12.5)
OVER (60)
USC (+3)

A quick breakdown of the votes. 
A whopping 98.1 percent voted that Ohio State will cover the spread. When the Buckeyes do cover, 74.5 percent believe that the point total will be north of 60. Between USC and Texas, 80.4 percent of the vote went with the Trojans getting three points. 

Around midnight, we should have 59,000 reasons to celebrate the Buckeyes victory.

In honor of The Presidential Power Parlay, let's open up the 11W vault and pull from Warren G. Harding's blood money. This year, the power parlay is going to be controlled by you.

You read that correctly, the readers of Eleven Warriors are going to vote to determine how to wager the last of Ohio's most dangerous son's money. During the chaotic closing weeks of the preseason, I was able to sneak into the 11W basement and walk out with several wheel barrel loads of Warren G's cabbage. Shhh, we have $150,000 of Marion's finest's stash to play with.*

Week 2 Results
YOUR WEEK 3 11W PARLAY VOTING BOOTH

LAST WEEK: 2-1
SEASON: 5-3
WINNINGS: -$20,000
BANK ROLL: $130,000

11W Power Parlay Week 2 Results
Game 1: Ohio State (-35.5) vs. Rutgers
Game 2: Nebraska (-4.5) vs. Colorado
Game 3: Alabama (-36.5) vs. Arkansas State

For the second straight week, we started off with consecutive wins. The $59,579 honey pot was within our grasp. All we needed was for Nebraska to take of business against the stoners from Colorado. Like Week 1, a middling Big Ten team kept us from our deserved money. Goodbye lines of easy women and hard drugs. Hello self disdain.  

What did W.G.H. teach us? Never put faith, or money, on former blue bloods that are currently playing in the Big Ten. It is hard not to, but don't look back in anger at our previous plays. With another $10,000 lesson learned, it is time to move on to Week 3.

Week 3 Power Parlay

It's a Saturday night 3 at 8 special. This time, we're going to two-step it down to Texas and wager on the prime time action in the Lone Star state. We've been close, now it's time to get on the correct side of the ledger so we can party like Marion's finest son. 

11W POWER PARLAY WEEK 3 GAMES
Game 1: TCU vs. Ohio State (-12.5)
Game 2: TCU vs. Ohio State Over/Under 60
Game 3: USC at Texas (-3)
The Potential Winnings

If we are able to correctly pick the three winners, the $10,000 will bring in $59,579. Miss on one selection and the $10,000 goes away quicker than a line up Warren Gamaliel's nose.

  • To participate, please click on the quiz below (or the link above) to make your picks for the five games.

  • Feel free to share and debate your picks of the games in the comment section.

*Legal note. There is not a stash of $150,000. Win or lose, nobody is making, or losing, any money. This is just for fun.
