Amukamara pick seals parlay payday

Winner picked all 15 NFL winners this weekend

The gambler correctly picked the winner of every game this weekend to win the progressive jackpot to earn the big payday.

Well, he or she picked every game correctly that actually had a winner. The Packers and Vikings could not decide a winner after 70 minutes of gameplay and ended in a 29-29 tie. ESPN’s Darren Rovell points out that a tie counts as a win in this particular contest. We’re not sure who was picked in that game.

The picks were made straight up. The winner did not have to pick against the spread. That sounds likely enough, right?

Well, that progressive jackpot didn’t get so large because picking a full slate of NFL games is simple. Try next week for fun, and see how close you can get.
