| Yeah, that kinda sums it up, doesn't it? |
Let's go from Turrible to Wonderful. We got ourselves a second week in a row with a bingo. Last week, it was Crutch, this week, Josh! THen, Phil went 5-1, Mike 4-2, and Ben-bot rounds us out at 2-3. Which leaves us like this for the pick 'ems for the regular season:
Phil: 56 (Gold)
Crutch: 47 (Silver)
Mike: 45 (Bronze)
Josh: 45 (Bronze)
Ben: 42
Terri: 27
So, congrats to Josh for sneaking into a tie for Bronze right at the last minute!!

| Bonus: Mike has to share 3rd place now. hehe |
Don't forget - we continue on with the pick 'ems next week into the playoffs. We'll reset to do a play offs only contest and an overall one. So, go make those picks!
On to the games!
Patrick (131.26) vs. Phil (74.65). I think that we can all agree with on thing here: Fuck. This. Game. Good lord, Brady *finally* wakes up for me, only to have pretty much all of Patrick's starters go double digits. Going into the playoffs no less.
And that's all that I have to say about that.
Ben (89.20) vs. Crutch (51.87). The good news for Crutch? Finally, Mahomes was contained. The bad news? Jones, Mixon,Ebron, and Hilton were not. They REALLY were not. To be fair though... Hats off to Crutch for holding on hope by keeping Hunt on the bench. He's definitely not coming back this season, but don't tell Crutch...
Kyle (70.20) vs. Skoot (48.73). Well, Skoot did about as expected.... Ryan and Barkley kicked ass, and the rest were also starters. For Kyle? Luck kept quietly pulling in massive points, Juju was Juju and everyone else was just good enough to snag a win right when he needed it the most. As a side note, feels kinda like Kyle might have enough late season talent to make a run at the Championship. Keep your eyes peeled.
Josh (61.43) vs. McClennen (58.88). Josh could have rested on his laurels here and just taken the easy win from a guy who gave up in September. But good for him that he didn't because he barely eeked this one out. The fact that Fournette and Diggs barely suited up this week was probably making Josh sweat about sneaking into the playoffs. But with an almost 3 point victory, Josh pulls in the win and a playoff berth.
D (59.65) vs. Stephen (54.19). OK, let's be clear about this one right up front. D didn't so much win this one, as Stephen lost it. And really, through no fault of his own. I mean, who would have thought that the G mean would go crazy to the tune of 40 points against the Skins? Moreover.. Goff with *4* interceptions? Ugh.. Did NOT see that one coming! This game was do or die for both teams and D did. As a side note, if D rides a successful Prescott through December, I'm officially calling shenanigans on the NFL in general.
Mike (44.22) vs. Terri (43.96). This was ... a sad game. Less than 90 points total, and really the only break out was Gronk. I, mean, I didn't realize he was still starting. O wait.. he's playing D now... badly.
(Yeah, I could pretty much watch that all day.)
Anyway, well done for making this razor close, in a game that didn't really matter anyways.
So, where does that leave us? Well, first off, 4 teams short starting this week. So, to Stephen, Skoot, Terri, and McClennen, enjoy the off season and be glad that you don't ahve to put up with the stupid tomfoolery for the next three weeks. And since I'm pretty sure that most of you have stopped reading the write ups a few months ago, let me just say:
Everyone else? Well, the real season starts now. Playoffs are the best part of the season... until they are done, of course. At which time, they are stupid and suck. So, Good luck everyone! May upsets abound!
Woo hoo!! Playoffs!
