No but I had Payton "Mr. Interception" Manning and the colts as a best bet. 9-4 going into tonight but everyone above me is doing better... I do like seeing him lose though, they may not even make the playoffs!

Bid game coming up next...

you are slowly edging away from the pack, each week you get a little further. Overall you stand at #16 in the standings, very impressive!

Get your picks in, especially for Thursday (JohnR), and don't forget to save them.....

Lot of home dogs this week... Upsets at this time of year seems to be the only way to make a move.....

Nice job by stillers and taints, tied for first place overall weekly.... Whatcha have for the tie breakers?

Thanks nightfighter! I picked 40 points with 4 td's and 4 fg's. I don't know how it will work out? Maybe spin can tell us if he got his $25.00 and did they contact him?

Nice job on the picks!

I have not heard from anyone on that site about the $25. I PM'ed the guy who welcome PM'ed me when I first signed up but he has not replied. Perhaps they hand out the cash atthe end of the season? I am not gonna lose sleep over it but it would be cool if the prize is offered.

Just made my picks for this week, a couple of tricky ones in the mix. Hopefully my trusty coin-flipping method will continue to produce good results...

Thanx for the effort to secure my alledged winnings!
It has been exciting. I have done pick'ems before through espn but it was always vs the spread.

Suggestion for next season- Lets all put up some pluggage for the winner....

He has been caught but, the fat lady ain't even warming up! Lucky with the best bets. I am keeping an eye on redcrbbr! He beat me last year in the last week! This is a lot of fun.

Bob, I feel your pain.... got smoked. Just lucky I got picks in on Tuesday, though didn't get all BBs in. I got stuck in Conn. on a roofing job from hell. Friday through Sunday. No computer, no football.Got home last night at 8pm and crashed. Missed the Pats game too. Also trying to support a sibling (and her daughters) going through a shocking divorce development after 38+ years...... so wasn't exactly focused on NFL this weekend.

Just flipped my pick to NO for MNF. The rest of you are ALL on Atlanta... I just don't think the birds are as good as their 12-2 record.

I had NO but flipped it to Atlanta last minute. Ryan had not lost at home. You have hung in there well Ross.

Just made my picks for the final week. Always tough to pick week 17 due to so many teams who have nothing to play for, resting players and such. Tight enough at the top that things could flip significantly this week. Best bets are the key to ultimate victory. Good luck guys...

Live or die by the upsets.... My record sucks. More losses than anyone. Killed myself early on. Not enough real estate left to make up enough ground to challenge now. Almost flipped to Minn last night, but.... Would have been enough for a tie for first place weekly...

Sucks this is the last week. We need a playoff pool.

Can't follow the crowd this final week if you want to make up some ground.... I'll be picking a few major upsets in a last hour attempt to climb up the standings. How are you playing the last week?

it is a tough week to pick, not sure who is bringing their A game. Brady may sit out half the game, Philly with Vic hurt may or may not play. Alot of don't matter games out there. However it goes, it has been an enjoyable year playing against all of you.

Good first half except my one loss was KC and I had them as a best bet- a switch a made this morning. I should have learned to go with my original picks. Hoping all you guys had NO as a best bet as it seems I was the only one who went with TB.

Look again... But I too had KC lay a double egg on me. You went 7-1, best move in the top pending best bets. My two longshots killed me and was 5-3. More longshots at 4 for me....
