Hi everyone. A couple of the games last week were tough to pick, but almost everyone agreed that the obvious easy pick was the Eagles. Until Jalen Hurts went down in the first quarter.. and then the pool blew up. After the dust settled, only one true genius prevailed with a perfect week. Congratulations to Paul for picking up five points in a week where most almost everyone had two or fewer.
With the Eagles going down last week, there were only two points on the line in the battle of first place. The top two players each picked different games to set up an interesting afternoon. John was sitting three points behind the leader hoping to pick up some ground. But Mary once again flexed and grabbed both to pull ahead by an impressive five point margin with two weeks remaining. Is it truly out of reach? John, Gerri and Stephanie are still mathematically in the hunt. Let’s see if they have a big swing left to make it a conversation next weekend.
One the flip side, we have the bottom feeders. Fletcher dropped another donut and Dianne picked up a point to cut the margin at last place to one point. It would appear to be a battle between these two, but Bill and Molly are still in the conversation. Yikes! Who will be the season turkey? Stay tuned to find out.
Finally, here are your week 17 games.
- Broncos @ Bengals
- Titans @ Jaguars
- Packers @ Vikings
I avoided the Wednesday and Thursday games, but do have one Saturday pick in the list. So it’s extra important to get those picks in on time.
Merry Christmas everyone!
