That, too.

GB for 2

and DAL for 3

Oh Man, I just hope to make it to the playoffs for that $700 that I think I'm playing for!

A very nice 9 for Thanksgiving which should be followed by 6 with the Sunday and Monday Night games, now if only those Sunday afternoon picks go well. Unfortunately, picking the Sunday day games is looking like "Deal or No Deal" (yes, that show sucks).

Hope everyone had a nice holiday. GO BEARS!

I don't think we did, but I will be getting one out tomorrow, and I'll include wk 11.

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Tue Nov 27, 2007 3:49 pm

Apologies once again for the lack of an update last week; the short holiday week snuck up on me. Below are the current standings, and results for weeks 11 and 12. Remember that we're trying something new this year, and giving 5% of the pot to the player with the best score over weeks 13-17, so don't slack off if it looks like the playoffs are a long-shot!

PS - Hopefully the Giants decide that they can cover Hester, too.

Wow, anyone that can get 5 locks this week is a better picker than me.

P.S. The dumbass award for week 11 should go to my IM pick, not my regular pick.

5 locks or 5 well picked locks? Because I submitted 5 locks. How lockish I actually think they are is debatable. I almost locked a Detroit victory but that would have been a purely homer call on my part and a lot of wishful thinking.

The Meal · Post by **The Meal** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 12:31 pm

Woo-hoo! My first Top Dog of the season!

My pick is in for tonight's game.

What do ya'all mean you can't find 5 well picked locks? Locks are easy this week what with Garcia and Williams out in TB, Eli looking like he did last year in the last 1/4 of the season, the Raiders darn near last place run D, plus that one cheating team that can't lose. Ohhh.. that does leave one iffy pick... but only one...

If I am not the dumbass of the week, then I think I deserve an honorary one for locking the Dolphins. I was so sure they would finally get a win this season but it wasn't even close

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Tue Dec 04, 2007 10:03 am

The Bears blow it late, the Pats keep their unbeaten season alive due to a dumb timeout by BAL, and Soulbringer wins Top Dog a week after finishing just behind Top Dog, surging into a tie for the last playoff spot and taking the early lead in the brand-new 'end-of-season surge' competition (top score over weeks 13-17 gets 5% of the pot). And Pete Rock, well... not so much.
