Six-Pack Pick'em Challenge: Week 7

Post by APB »

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!
The rules are simple:
  • Choose an outright winner from the four select games of the week
  • Choose an outright winner from the Packers matchup
  • Choose an outright upset winner from any weekly 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.

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...
Now, on to the picks!

The Four:
Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings
Kansas City Chiefs @ San Francisco 49ers
New York Jets @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Baltimore Ravens @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The One:
Houston Texans @ Green Bay Packers

Your upset pick:

Good luck to all participants!

The running scores are below. The first column under each week indicates total correct picks, the second column your upset pick score.
