And just like that, this contest has become a runaway.
In what had been a neck-and-neck race, @Backthepack4ever had a statement week - and scored the third perfect week in a row! - to open up a three pick spread on the field. Boom!
Alas, never say never. Several participants remain within striking distance with five weeks still remaining so BTP4E will need to stay hot if he's to take the final prize. Those of us looking to catch up will need a statement week of our own, though.
Perfect pick weeks have happened three weeks in a row now. Who is next??
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. If upset picks also result in a tie, then total overall correct picks (no mulligan weeks) will determine 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...
