But it does set up an interesting situation for many of those freebie contests at many casinos were the players make their picks on the kiosks. Here in Las Vegas for example the stations casino football contest includes the Thursday night game as well as the London game. But many others like Boyd, Rampart, Hard Rock do not include either as you can make your picks right up until 10am (1pm east coast time). And on all these kiosk games there are several quick pick options for those who don't want to be bothered picking every game. There is usually a favorite quick pick, a home team quick pick and a random quick pick.

So that sets up a situation were there are likely thousands, maybe tens of thousands of players that are currently 12-0 heading into the Monday night game, rooting for the Giants. And should the Giants manage to beat the Cowboys, and there were thousands of weekly contest winners, they go to the tie breaker which is total. points on the Monday night game. That too there is a default setting usually around 42 points for those that don't want to be bothered.

Imagine if the Giants win and it falls on that default total. You might have 5000 people sharing the weekly prize getting one hell of a lot less than expected. Even if the total didn't fall on the default setting number, most people pick a number in the 40s, so you very probably could have hundreds of people sharing that weekly prize. Would be reminiscent of that scene from the Bruce Almighty movie were 10's of thousands of people all won the lottery and were expecting big payouts and ended up winning like $17.

KewlJ, please. Obviously for betting purposes, there was no home team in the London game. And the Thursday game was covered by Arizona, who was at home. So yes, it was a 12-0 week.
