Wow, a second place weekly finish. A few more of those and I might make a move.

Those are not possible points. That "81-62" is his record by wins and losses so far this year. As Vandal points out he only picked 143 games this year while most of us have picked 159.


Hmmm. That makes me wonder why 159. There have been 160 games played. I wonder if the ties play into that but there have been 2 ties.

I assumed (based in part on rayxtwo's nearly-perfect record) that a failure to pick was simply counted as a loss. --Bob

[littlebeast13]

Skippy didn't register until after Week 1, so none of those games went on his ledger at all...

Thanks. Now it makes sense to me. --Bob

Hmmm. That makes me wonder why 159. There have been 160 games played. I wonder if the ties play into that but there have been 2 ties.

I was puzzling over that as well, and then a quick look at the standings made me realize the NFL has broken from its usual tradition of having all bye weeks completed before Thanksgiving. The Browns and Titans still have byes coming next week, so an extra game has been played so far...

Since the two teams played in Nashville on October 16 (when only two other teams took a week off, as opposed to the normal four or six), I'm wondering if there was some kind of scheduling conflict that caused the date of that game to be moved from Week 13 to what would have been their bye week...

It's always kind of bugged me that the NFL doesn't ensure that a team coming off a bye week doesn't play another team coming off a bye week. It should be doable, though it does add yet another set of constraints to scheduling the season. --Bob

The easiest way to accomplish that is to have the bye weeks split up by division... then have those four teams play in-division the following week. That should be eminently doable...

Big week for TClark, Kelly's Heroes, and the Boneheads!
I only missed 4 games, the same as Kelly's Heroes and Boneheads, but was way off on confidence points.

Kelly's Heroes jump into 4th but I'm still right behind.

[lilclyde54]

I just wish I was doing this well in the Pick-Em Pool that a group of us play for cash money. Fourth place overall there is worth about $400. In that pool, The Baboo is currently in first place. If she can hold on for the last two weeks, she will collect over $1,500. Unfortunately for me, I am way out of the overall money but have a slight chance to win some money for the fourth session.
