Pretty good first half of games. Ended up just missing one (CLE vs. JAX). Let's hope I can keep that pick 'em rate up through this next set of games.

I missed PIT @ MIA. And I had PIT picked when I was first doing my picks, too.

And that one mistake was enough for me to gain on you. I'm coming for you, pr0ner!

The 2nd set of games isn't going so well.

Even worse now. I didn't know that Warner wasn't playing. Gah.

I made the same mistake. 2nd set of games certainly isn't as pretty as the first.

I think you'll be fine as I'm four points back and not doing great myself.

Yeah, I goofed that one, too.

But hey, the Redskins are the Redskins, so I only missed one lock. I had no clue KC would blow out Denver like that. In Denver, no less.

Just to give some drama to tonight's game--Ralph-Wiggum and Remus West are tied for the last playoff spot. They picked opposite teams tonight, meaning one is in and one is out. Those wishing to see Remus in the playoffs, you are now Bengal fans. Ralphites are rooting for Gang Green. Due to the large gap between the other folks just below the line and those above, with the exception of RW and R-W your current standing relative to the line is final.

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Sun Jan 03, 2010 9:23 pm

Looks like Stinky has a 2-point leg up on the EOS surge.

Gah! Damn it Remus - we should have picked the same team and then we'd both be in. Ok Jets - don't fuck it up.

Did we all pick NYJ? Even worse, did those guys lock them?

If we all finished tied for EoS, is there a tiebreaker?

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Sun Jan 03, 2010 11:00 pm

All picked NYJ, with you and Stinky locking. So if CIN wins or ties, Mr. Jim gets it. If NYJ wins (lookin' that way), you two tie for it. We'd go to the tie-breakers.

1) Favre TDs. Stinky: 26. JM: 17. Reality: 29. Bzzzt.
2) Best reg-season record. Stinky: PIT. JM: NE. Reality: IND. Bzzzt.
3) Non-QB w/most TDs. JM: AP. Stinky: Maurice Jones-Drew. Reality: AP, by one over Maurice Jones-Drew!

So JMDiller (guess I should change your name in the pool, eh?) gets it!

For the record, Remus West beat last year's regular-season winner, and he doesn't even go to the playoffs. Next year we need to require drinking before submixxilation or something...

That's crazy. You'd think the NFL added a week 18 or we started giving points in the preseason with numbers like that.

Kudos to those in the playoffs, good luck to all! Thanks again Zaxxon for running the pool, I had a fun time and will certainly be back next year, aiming to reclaim a playoff spot!

I didn't say anything the first time I saw it in the thread, but I have a vested interest in making sure that folks remember the history of the 2009 pool.

And yes, major thanks to Zack for running a great pool again this year!

First off, thanks to everyone for participating. To those who won't be continuing onward to the playoffs, I hope you'll stick around and partake in the commentary on the OO thread. And more importantly, that you'll join us again next year.

Congrats to GamerIrv, who completed his 13-week run at the top of the standings to take the regular-season title and 10% of the pot. Congrats also to JMDiller, who won the End-of-Season Surge award on the last tie-breaker over Stinky Cheeseman. Tiebreaker process follows:

1) Favre TDs. Stinky: 26. JM: 17. Reality: 29. Bzzzt.
2) Best reg-season record. Stinky: PIT. JM: NE. Reality: IND. Bzzzt.
3) Non-QB w/most TDs. JM: AP. Stinky: Maurice Jones-Drew. Reality: AP, by one over Maurice Jones-Drew!

As a reminder, the folks above the line are moving on to the playoffs. You each have five locks total to use across all eleven playoff games. The Super Bowl is worth 4 points, all others are worth the usual two. Locks are +/- 1 as usual, even if used on the Super Bowl. Playoff ties are broken first by regular-season point total and then by tie-breaker answers. Top three finishers take something home. Games start on Saturday (yes, this Saturday). Good luck!

Game of the Week: I got nothin'.

Upset of the Week: KC @ DEN. Not so much that KC won while DEN benched their best players, but more that DEN got whooped up real good.

Sure Thing of the Week: BAL over OAK.

Game of Next Week: Playoffs? Playoffs??! Don't talk about playoffs!

Administrata the First: Remember (again) that we have a new error-correction policy this year. Make sure that you check the spreadsheet to verify that I got your score right. Corrections for this week will be accepted until the end of the final Wildcard-round game. Speak up by then or forever keep quiet. Corrections for weeks 1-16 are now closed.

Administrata the Second: Make sure to check out the pool's thread on OO for intra-week trash talking and discussion.

On three of the games, you can just pick the folks that won last week's version of the game. I recommend locking all three, as well.

Those are really messing with my head, I don't think everyone played to their full potential so I'm torn if they were flukes or the real deal.
