Standings

Jill almost won for the fourth week in a row but was beat out by ½ a point. Mark won the week with a 43 and earned an 11 point bonus. This moved him up into a tie for 5^th overall. Close but no cigar…

Pick of the week goes to Jen for her 1 pointer on Miami. No other players took them and 29 points were lost on Favre’s Jets. New York was favored by 2.5 but ended up losing 17-24…

Stinker of the week goes to Vanessa for her 7 pointer on Cleveland. No one else took them and 41 points were wisely trusted to Pittsburg. The game was a total blowout and the Browns were shutout 31-0…

Jill had an impressive rise at the end as she climbed all the way from 13^th to first place in the final 4 weeks! That is unbelievable. Tim ended up dropping into 2^nd. Finally, Sarah and I tied for 3^rd which is still a money spot so we need to have a tie breaker. According to the official pool rules the tie goes to the commissioner. I wish! Actually, Sarah and I will be picking the first round of the playoffs. I will update the page to reflect the final standings!

Have a happy new year!
