Northern Buckeye Conference Spread Pick'em 2024

Eastwood @ Norwayne (0) This is a toss up to me. I'm just picking this based off of NBC loyalty.

Keystone @ Oak Harbor (-21) After finding some film on Keystone, I'm changing my pick. OH covers.

Eastwood @ Norwayne (0) - Norwayne may have just had a bad week but they snuck by Delta and even though the Eagles are on the road I think they’ll provide a much stiffer test. Both offenses can put up points but I trust Eastwood more on both sides of the ball. Eastwood 31-21
Keystone @ Oak Harbor (-21) - This line feels about right, Keystone handled Genoa but OH has the athletes the Comets lack. If the Rockets come out ready to play on both sides of the ball they’ll take care of business. Oak Harbor 42-14
 
Week 13 Final Line: looks like it, good thing it's probably the last week.

Eastwood v Edison (-6.5)
Oak Harbor v Liberty Center (-9.5)

Oh man, I'm split. If this weather keeps up, it's bad news for Eastwood. I think Oak Harbor is much more physical than last year and they have the speed to give LC some issues. I think it's a toss up who wins.

Ladies and gentlemen, fans of the NBC, and my fellow pick 'em enthusiasts,
First and foremost, let me say it feels so good to stand here as your 2024 NBC pick 'em champion... again. I’d like to thank my brain for knowing football, my gut for feeling the upsets, and Oak Harbor for making this so incredibly easy week after week. Honestly, picking Oak Harbor felt like cheating—but hey, you can't argue with dominance!
On the flip side, I’d like to extend a special shoutout to Rossford, who graciously made my decisions equally as easy on the other end of the spectrum. You know it’s bad when picking against them feels like a free square on a bingo card.
Let’s talk about Otsego, Genoa, and Lake. Picking them felt like playing darts blindfolded—they’d crush one team one week and then trip over their own shoelaces the next. Trying to figure them out was harder than deciphering a Fostoria playbook.
Speaking of surprises, let’s take a moment to acknowledge Fostoria. I mean, they weren’t world-beaters, but they exceeded expectations. They went from being the joke to saying, “Hey, stop laughing so hard!” Well done, Fostoria—credit where it’s due.
And how about Coach Karchner? I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: state coach of the year. Let’s make it happen, folks. The guy deserves a plaque, a parade, and maybe even free coffee for life in Maumee.
Now, to the elephant in the room: Where are all the Eastwood fans? Seriously, they used to be everywhere—online, at the games, probably even in my backyard—but now, it’s like they’ve gone into witness protection. Come on, Eastwood, don’t be shy.
Finally, a heartfelt thanks to all my haters. You doubted me, accused me of cooking the books, and probably swore I had an insider connection to the refs. But here I stand, victorious and as innocent as a Friday night hot dog at the concession stand. Your disbelief only made this win sweeter.
So, thank you all for playing, supporting, and giving me the motivation to crush this contest. I’ll see you next season—until then, don’t forget: Oak Harbor still (sans the last drive against LC) looks good, Rossford needs a miracle, and Fostoria? Well, they’re not half bad.
@Plobtz, thanks for putting this together.
Goodnight, or morning,
NBC Nation!

Congrats on your victory underthelights!!

On another note, I tried to put honest spreads up when I participated, not based on trying to sway the spread so my pick later in the week became easier for me to win.... it sometimes felt like jim harbaugh was part of our picks group.....

Gone. Like a lot of the people who have left over the last 3-4 years.

Thank you.

And even if I were trying to sway the spread in such a way, would it not offer you and everyone else the same advantage? I set the picks based on what I thought the spread should be. You can find a lot of games online between setting a spread on Monday and making a pick on Friday. Maybe an acknowledgement to the amount of time I put in watching (and enjoying) games in the area being a greater amount than (and then my ability to derive a pick from said film) most other pickers. Or is it easier to say I cheated than to simply put in the time?

Even in the week where I abstained from creating a spread I had the most correct picks.
