With two teams in play, who would have guessed that the 14-point favorite Texans might struggle against the Raiders and the lowly Saints would be the powerhouse to run away with an easy victory?
We roll forward with yet another (yawn) quiet week in the scrum. The Sherburnes are just too good at this game.
It is time to spice it up! But first, here are the current standings.
WIth two weeks remaining to declare a winner, we will now up the stakes. For week 17, each player will pick THREE teams ranked in order of preference. After the games, I will evaluate everyone’s top pick first for strikes and then move to the second and so forth. Perhaps this will force a couple riskier picks and help shake up the standings. Assuming players survive the weekend, next week we will have the ultimate showdown with each player ranking another handful of picks to determine a winner. A player may slot their bye in any position, if desired.
Picks are due Thursday morning before kick-off if you’re choosing any of the Christmas day games. Otherwise, the usual Friday night works.
Good luck!
