Definitely was too early to say it was down to three people who could win

[ponchi101]

Now it is down to two

[ptmcmahon]

Not really... I'm going to drop my 0, and Omega is going to drop a 9 and we'll replace it with full week scores (in theory at least.) Wolfy is leading but will be dropping a 54 as of now so won't be gaining much.

Despite Omega not picking, not much changed in the regular season standings really Just gives him less room for error in last two weeks, and obviously he can't do it again!

So if you are talking JUST regular season only, it's still a tight three way race for first.

Plus - you're still ignoring that the playoffs can swing hundreds of points wildly.

Last year after the regular season the person in second place, who only finished six out of first, dropped all the way to ninth (ugh ) And the winner came all the way from fourth. And that was with the two #1 seeds making the Super Bowls. Imagine if there were more upsets!

This is still wide open and I'd say everyone is still in it.

I believe you are just desperately trying to defuse my jinx
I need to make on big pick this weekend. Watch me pick one really surreal team (like, ARZ over PHL) and then have the Eagles laugh their way to victory.

[ptmcmahon]

Well as long as it's just a jinx attempt

Talk about jinxing a jinx and then seeing it come alive.
Man, what a call...
(No, I did not pick ARZ)

No changes for the week, and some good scores.
Nobody called the PHI upset, EVEN THOUGH I CALLED IT

Can only blame yourself! You even had Philly down for 15. (As did I, and some had them for 16.)

Looking forward to next week when my 0 disappears

[ptmcmahon]

And you put Philly down for 16 again this week

My 16 pick was an intentional punt and it worked just fine

[ponchi101]

End of the regular season.
Wolfie takes the honors for Regular Season champ. He is 25 points clear of the #2 player, which is a good margin.

We move to the playoffs. Remember, rules change. LOSING picks will subtract points. So, this is not over.

Damn, hadn't done the exact math but thought it was going to almost a tie! Oh well, I'll probably choke now anyway, as for some reason I am terrible at playoff contests.

Speaking of which, if people interested we can renew our players pick contest we did last couple of years on nfl.com

[ponchi101]

I was not thinking on doing the NFL.COM playoff challenge, but we can do the NFL Decimation.
Who's up for that?

[ptmcmahon]

Definitely! That is the contest where I actually do well.

Or ... have to use a punter for my QB in the super bowl. But that's still fun too.

[Fastbackss]

2/3 of the way to (im)perfection - would be the perfect ending to the season

[ptmcmahon]

The Bills saved you!

Overall we had a very bad week. I think NE Nitemare was the only one to get 5 games right.
