Yeah, I'm going to do that on the weekly recap posts. Remus would be the last man in if the season ended now.
Even after this week?!

The Mendoza Line has never seemed so far away .....
"All I can ever think of when I see BBT is, "that guy f***ed Angelina Jolie? Seriously?" Then I wonder if Angelina ever wakes up in the middle of the night to find Brad Pitt in the shower, huddled in a corner furiously scrubbing at his d*** and going, 'I can't get the smell of Billy Bob off of this thing.' Then I try to think of something, anything, else."--Brian

ALERT -- There is a Thursday-night game this week. Be sure to submixxify before then! -- ALERT
I continued my slide this week. Didn't even get a Bears win as consolation this time; ugh.
Game of the Week: I watched no football this week. Nuts!
Upset of the Week: TB over GB in the Battle of the Bays.
Sure Thing of the Week: NO over CAR.
Game of Next Week: CIN @ PIT and NE @ IND should both be fun to watch.

I should have mentioned a couple of things in my recap email but forgot. Congrats to JC Anejo's Ironman entry for winning the week. I don't think that's ever happened this late in a season, though I haven't gone back and checked. He's also flirting with a playoff birth halfway through the season. Though it's somewhat humorous that his Ironman entry is five games ahead of his normal entry.
Ugh. 5 INTs suck. But one of them was a clear pass interference, another was caused by the receiver running into the ref, and a third was Hester slipping. Just a painful game all around. At least the defense destroyed SF after V Davis ran his mouth off all week. That's something, right? Right?

Kinda meh for me thanks to Denver losing to Washington.

Pr0ner, I did find a correction in your score--I had entered NO as MO on your line. Hopefully this reinforces to everyone else that you should all be verifying your scores if you're not already. I've corrected this error in the current spreadsheet and the below update. Good luck this week, which starts this evening!

ALERT # 2 - Thursday is today! - ALERT # 2
Apologies for the late recap this week. Traveling makes computer time a little harder to come by.
Game of the Week: NE @ IND, for the brouhaha-creating Belichick 4th-and-2 call that was statistically either the correct call or a wash depending on who you listen to [out of those who actually looked at the stats rather than making a knee-jerk reaction].
Upset of the Week: WAS over DEN. First the Bears take a nosedive, and now the Broncos, located in my new city. Perhaps I'm the problem?
Sure Thing of the Week: NO over STL. Unanimous lock. We all very nearly got taken for a ride on this one, eh?
Game of Next Week: CLE @ DET. Just kidding! I'm looking forward to IND @ BAL.

Around half for the Bungles (no one picked OAK tho), and around 3/4 for PIT (one ironman actually picked KC!). Considering that the pool as a whole averaged less than -1 pt for those two games, this week has been pretty incredible. Average score is over 24, putting the average score for the week including games other than PIT and CIN at 25 and change. For 13 games, that's an average of 1.95 pts/game for the others.

I actually had a lock next to my Steelers pick at one point. I switched that to Dallas. I almost paid for that foolishness, too.
ALERT -- There are three Thursday-night game this week. Be sure to submixxify! -- ALERT
GamerIrv's hold on first place is up to four games. Pr0ner's grip on 2nd is at two games. Someone put a hex on them, please.
Game of the Week: CLE @ DET. I picked it sarcastically last week, but it actually turned out to be a fun game. And Stafford was pretty incredible at the end.
Upset of the Week: KC over PIT and OAK over CIN were pretty close in terms of their horridness for the pool.
Sure Thing of the Week: DAL over WAS, even though the game itself was all but a sure thing.
Game of Next Week: NE @ NO. Should be a fun one.
