Hello Footballers,
Well here we are. We have made it to week 18. It’s the final countdown on another amazing season of football and fun.
Let’s start off with congrats to all who got perfect 5 picks this past week. Way to go: Stephanie, Mary, Dan, Kevin, Charlie N and Molly. Some bold picks paid off. And, the Rams v. Ravens game really came down to the wire. So exciting – we were all yelling at the pick sheet a little bit around here! It was also super nice to see the storybook ending to the Steelers game, glad that everyone who picked them could enjoy that moment.
After all the points were totaled, we see that Gerri managed to hold on to her lead, and now has a one point advantage over Heidi. With this one last week there are still 7 people who still have the mathematical possibility of winning. Everyone with less than 50 points – well, it was nice playing with ya. (But, still please pick this week to finish it out).
So, this week we’ll keep with our regular system. If we only have one person at the top of the leaderboard after the game Monday night, then that person will be our 2021 winner. If we have a tie, all players that are tied for the top spot will begin a play-off picking process that will include picking winners and point totals. People not tied for first place at the end of week 18 will have been eliminated. (queue sad trombone.)
The picks for week 18 are:
CHI v. MIN
NO v. ATL
LAC v LVR (I only had to retype this one once from San Diego v. Oakland: how times change)
Good luck to everyone. And GO STEELERS (with an extra hope sent to the Jaguars to beat the Colts).
