Football prognostication is proving to be a difficult task, indeed.
Just as soon as @lake shark ascended to the top of the leader board, a tough week of picks now sees him tumbling back down. Oof. Meanwhile @wallyuwl has now taken over the top spot with a respectable 4-win week in what proved to be a home-cooking weekend with all home teams (outside of upsets) getting the win. Joining wally for top weekly honors was @Pckfn23, @BF004, @Raptorman and your humble contest administrator.
Speaking of upsets, not a single person nailed their upset pick this week...unless, of course, you count the sad attempt at lobbying for a recount after the fact.


Several participants still remain within striking distance of the top spot with only two weeks remaining. No room for error! Game on!
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...
