***Early start!***

# Announcement:
Due to the overwhelming number of people *editing* their picks and the tremendous amount of time it takes for me to check the timestamp on each entry, I'll be making an adjustment to the contest rules. 

From here on out, if you make an edit to your picks you are disqualified from the contest. No exceptions. This will make things more clear for everyone moving forward.

**Thank you for playing, and best of luck!**

*For today's contest with only a couple games on deck, I want everyone to pick the **[Over/Under](https://steemitimages.com/DQmUQukf3pTxcLZnuBRsoKjxEf6XtacnBBiEd122BAqoaU8/1000.jpg)***
