Friday Game this Week
Don’t let your guard down just because there are no Thursday games this week, because there is a game on Friday instead. Yes, that is Christmas Day! Remember to get your picks in prior to kickoff (7:30 PM EST) on Friday.
A blowout win…
Steve Moore has won the week already in a blowout victory. This was a tough week for many as not a single one of the favored teams had held the line on their spreads through the end of the early games on Sunday. The afternoon wasn’t much better as only 2 of 5 teams held. This was a disaster for anyone that took the “safe” road and played the favorites.
This was an especially good week for Steve as it allowed him to gain 8 points on Julian for the overall overall lead, putting him into 2nd! It also vaulted him into a good position to challenge for the second half lead as well. There are only a couple of weeks left for anyone wanting to make a move on the overall or second half points! I don’t think anyone has ever made such a large move in one day in our pools before!
Even worse for Julian was the Denver loss to Oakland, which knocked him out of the suicide pool. Only 3 players and 2 weeks left in that one!
Full Update
I’ve had a crazy few months with multiple computer failures and a long string of other unrelated computer issues that have prevented me from updating this site. That’s behind me now and I’ve finally managed to update the Standings and Account Balances.
You are probably well aware of it already, but Julian is having a banner season with 3 weekly wins under his belt, an easy victory in the first half, and a commanding lead in the overall competition. I was on the other end of that deal in the first half with no wins and a commanding grasp on the bottom of the barrel. fortunately I’ve turned that around somewhat and have managed a couple of wins and a thin lead in the second half. Here’s a summary of the winners of each week:
| Week | Winner |
