Oof. What a week.
The above image pretty much sums up the week for many participants. Several prognosticators had to dip into their mulligan well after taking it on the chin week 14, your humble contest administrator included after a 1-pick showing.
Ouch.
But that wasn't the worst of it. That honor belongs to @Papa John. He missed on his lone TNF pick and then failed to come back and select the rest of the weekend games. #0-fer. Doh! Thankfully he had a 3-pick mulligan to swap out and keep him in contention.
But let's not focus on the negative. During a week where many of us suffered a gut punch, @lake shark showed what real prognostication is all about and notched our fourth straight perfect pick week! Boom! Well done!
The perfect week catapulted Lake Shark up the leader board and into contention as we wind down the final weeks. @Backthepack4ever remains the leader but the gap has shrunk. Will anybody catch him? If this run of perfect weeks continues, it's certainly possible...
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...
