And just like that, we've got some experts among us!
It was a strong week for prognosticators with most participants batting over .500 with their predictions. Nobody outdid @Cdragon and @wallyuwl, though, with each nailing five of six picks...well done!
Their strong week didn't shake up the overall standings much but it did create a bigger logjam at top with three players topping the standings at 15 correct picks. Your humble contest administrator still holds onto the tie-break overall lead with three correct upset spots.
Of note, not a single prognosticator nailed an upset pick for the week. I guess we're not all that good just yet.
Also of note, @Papa John finally broke his string of three correct picks by nailing a fourth pick this past week. Way to go, old man!
Now, on to the picks!The rules are simple:
- Choose an outright winner from the four select games of the week
- Choose an outright winner from the Packers matchup
The upset pick can be from the previous five games already in play or any of the other weekly NFL matchups on the schedule, so long as your chosen underdog victor was listed as a kickoff dawg. For reference, a listing of Vegas odds can be found here.
- Choose an outright upset winner from any weekly matchup
I will maintain a cumulative tally of correct choices with the winner declared at the end of the regular season. You'll get a mulligan for two weeks, be it forgotten picks or a bad week, but the rest are on you. The winner will be declared at season's end for the participant with the most correct picks. In the event of a tie, the participant with the most correct upset picks will be declared the winner.
Need motivation? The winner will receive a special gift from the Packers Pro-Shop from the Mod Team. See? Us Mods aren't all bad...
