NFL 2007/8 A2K Road to Phoenix-The Duel In the Desert

Fear not, sumac -- there are still 7 games left to play this week.

Looks like Cowdoc is doing okay with regards to staying on top. 3 wrong picks but the Ragman has three also. Lion rocks, with only one wrong, but too little too late.

Through 14 games --

LionTamerX 13
JPB 12
Pantalones 12
Rockhead 12
fbaezer 12
CowDoc 11
Ragman 11
Region Philbis 11

Mrs CowDoc 9

Ticomaya 7

Only Tico has a chance to tick up one notch tonight, which brings us to tomorrow night's game.

Three players have Atlanta picked to win tomorrow. Rockhead and Pantalones will pull even with LTX with an Atlanta win.
Rockhead (36)
George (39)
Pantalones (50)

I did no beter than Tico's contrarian picks.

Hi everyone!
Was offline a week due to a death in our family.
Rooting for the Redskins, hope they win!

teenyboone -- please accept my condolences.



Sure you did!

Here's something we haven't looked at in a while -- the average weekly place finishes. CowDoc and Ragman are tied with an average place finish of 5.1. CowDoc has a slightly better consistency rating and is therefore in first place in this tally. CI is a close third with an average 6.2 place finish.

Fooey.

Sorry, Tico -- it was a valiant effort.

Here are the overall standings through week 14. I've added sumac into the listing but not into the place standings at this point. There are no changes in the top three positions but the middle of the pack is moving all over the place. CowDoc has a three game lead over Ragman and is five games up on ehbeth with three weeks to go.
