I gave up a few weeks ago, so my picks have no basis in reason, but I really thought Buf might win this. My oblivious picks served me pretty well this week, but things like that do bug me.

And at least recently, those two mesh up well so it's a tough one to pick.

I'm half tempted to go back to my picks for this week and go with the opposite of my gut. Can't be any worse than I have been doing. Easily the worst year I have had in this league.

Down to the final two regular season weekends.

I've finished 2nd and 3rd a couple of times.  Last year, I finished 7th or 8th, but was proud that I was only eight games out.  After all, 1/2 a game off per week
ain't bad.

This year, I'm in second....but seven games out.  Get busy with something this weekend, Stads, and don't make any picks ;)

1  Stadler's Blues  158-82
2  DragonAttack  151-89
    Rattlehead   151-89
4  T-ski’s Pick-ski’s  148-92
5  Admiral Barto  146-94
    axeman9182  146-94
7  Dave    145-95
8  Professor  144-96
9  jamesman  141-99
10  faizoff   140-100
11  KevShmev  139-101
12  Cool Chris  138-102
13  hefdaddy42  131-109 (missed Week 11)
14  Ghost of DoC  107-133  (dropped out Week 13)

In a bid to catch Stadler I hurled the mother of all hail Marys last week by voting for pretty much every underdog. The results were hilariously disastrous. The one week of the whole fuckin' season when basically every game went to the favourite.

Wonder what the biggest difference between first and second has been. Seven games is pretty significant.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Ugh, teams are starting to bench starters for the last week. As if this season couldn't get any harder to pick.

I'm just picking and forgetting at this point. What a tough season for picking, but it's interesting as well.

I did horrible this week. I got the same correct as axeman, and he missed half of his picks. :lol :lol

Unrelated to this here pick'em, but I already locked up my preseason predictions, good for a bottle wine. Because of the way it's scored we almost never lock it up this early.

As for our pick'em, I've got a very tenuous 3 point lead on him, but now we're picking straight up and ATS, so that can chance pretty easily.

Kudos to Bill for the regular season title.  With only thirteen picks remaining, ‘it ain’t over until it’s over’, but….
(sorry there's no wine to go with the win)

T-ski….there were a couple of 13-2 weeks during the year, but you join me and the Professor having 14-2 weeks.

My best regular season finish ever.  The postseason has always been my albatross.

Somebody check and make sure that Stads wasn't deflating balls or secretly filming any of us. I fear he went all Belichick on us.

I'll let you know when I meet with Mr. Kraft later this week.  In the meantime I'm just busy preparing for this week's games.

Congrats Stads!

I think this was my best finish on DTF.  I always seem to start strong and fade late, but I did pull out that 14-2 final week to sneak into the second place tie.

I never did update this and congratulate Stadler for thrashing us all quite soundly.  :tup

If I hadn't waited until week 9 to concede defeat and give up in disgust I might have caught up to you.  I picked up about 2 games a week once I stopped trying. :lol

HAHA!  Next year!  I took a thrashing in the playoffs, though. I didn't call SHIT during the playoffs.
