We've got 5 fights on this week's pick'em line-up, including the Friday Night Fights main-event, and double-headers from the UK and Germany.
The FNF match-up, from the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, features a super-bantamweight match-up, scheduled for 10 rounds, between Teon Kennedy and Chris Martin. Both fighters are coming off a loss in their last outing.
A couple of British heavyweights, looking to get back into domestic title contention face-off at York Hall on Friday, with Sam Sexton going up against Larry Olubamiwo. Also on the card is the British cruiserweight title fight between champion Leon Williams and challenger Shane McPhilbin. This is a Friday show, so make sure you get your selections in on time.
Arthur Abraham returns on the German show, from the Baden-Arena, in a 12-rounder against Argentinean Pablo Oscar Natalio Farias. The co-feature is Super-Middleweight Robert Stieglitz, in a stay-busy title defense against unheralded Henry Weber.

I assume that in D, you mean over/under 6.5
And there isn’t a 3 round disparity where you get no points?

I probably made a mistake, I figure Scott must have fixed it as everything looks okay now.
