Talk About Tennis 2.0

That didn't wind up too bad for me, think I only got three wrong. And if I could've changed before late games I would've switched off Chargers once their game because completely meaningless for them.

Dallas really threw a stinker. And I had them at 15.
I guess I am now, again, one point behind PT. But I am also getting convinced that Wolfie is some AI-Las-Vegas product. Every time we get close to him, off he zooms into the distance.
And he is also leading AMitS. Impressive.

Message for Tog. How are we going to score the playoffs and SB? Will we again use the formula that if you pick one game wrong, you get points deducted?

Yep, same scoring as last year.

Hey blame that on Omegadoom he is the one that got me interested in do the TAT contests.

I'm posting a scoreboard update in a different way this week, but it's an update nonetheless.

Scored were mostly clustered in the 90s and low 100s for the last week of the regular season. JazzNU and Omess had the highest scores of the week with 107. Wolfy333 finished the regular season on top, but only leads ptmcmahon by 6 and ponchi101 by 7.

Definitely a little tighter after yesterday as the top 3 all had the Chargers!

I am keeping a parallel count. I start with all games being assigned lost. Then, if you win, you get the points.
The big winner so far is JazzNu. She had the Jags at 15. With today's games pending, she is only at -25 points, and getting very close. The top three are at -55, for the weekend.
We may have a logjam on Tuesday.

Well, given that I was absolutely talking to myself late in the 2nd quarter about why did I think trusting Trevor Lawrence was a good idea and why did I take that first game into heavy consideration and rationalizing that -15 points isn't that bad and I'll still have a chance, this is rather shocking news. It was a rollercoaster.

And I thought you had it all coldly figured out...
(Very good call, one way or another )

In my home pick em playoff pool only one person took the Jags also. It was a very hard match to be too sure about either way I found.

Agreed. The only reason I picked them was because of the beatdown they gave them earlier in the season. I thought it would be a different matchup this time, a closer game, but figured Doug Pederson must have identified something in their game plan that was flawed before. I was definitely picking the Chargers until I remembered the other game and I've been unimpressed with the Chargers all season so it wasn't that hard to imagine them figuring out a way to lose.

In general, I thought 3 of the games were very hard to pick and wouldn't be surprised at either team winning. Now if Miami pulls this off, that'll be more shocking to me than the Jags coming back from 0-27.

With the Giants' victory, JazzNu and Patrick have leapt at least to 3rd and 2nd. We all have Cincy, but are split for Dal/TB. If one of them gets both right, they cash the bonus and will be outright 1st.

No surprise the three hard games are the key this week!

0 for 3 on the hard ones.

Interesting to see if anyone goes for any upsets this week. I wasn't going to originally but after this week I'm wondering if maybe I do need to throw one in there....only three games left after this week so this may be last chance if I've dropped behind a couple of people

This is unofficial, because it is Tog that keeps track.
Wolfy is still in first place. But, if my numbers are correct, these are the next four:
Patrick 1655
JazzNu 1654
PtMcmahon 1652
Ponchi101 1651

JazzNu had a monster week, and Patrick did well too.

I also missed all the hard games. It is the same pattern as every year for me. I do well except for ONE really bad week. Last year I finished the season in first, and then crashed in the playoffs. Same as it ever was.
