A2K NFL Pick 'Um for Season V (Roman Numeral for 5)

Congratulations to my buddy Fbaezer on winning the week. Cleveland won and the total points tipped in his favor. My hound, tied to the pick-up, is royally pissed. So it goes in Week #11.

WTG FB. Okay, the Ouiji board didn't work. Tarot cards anybody?

That's probably what I need for fantasy football..

Another strong week for us as a group, and we are over the .600 level. We got burned in the Denver-Atlanta and Buffalo-Cleveland games, going 5-35.

Question. Are we as a group getting any smarter - at least as measured by our collective winning percentage?
Week #1: .580
Week #2: .531
Week #3: .603
Week #4: .517
Week #5: .617
Week #6: .507 (except for Cowdoc we stank)
Week #7: .633
Week #8: .592
Week #9: .596
Week #10: .747
Week #11: .707
Season to date: .606

RJB managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. He and Fbaezer finished at 13-2 and Fbaezer won the week by virtue of the tiebreaker. Very well done. Congratulations.
Osso and Imur did well, going 12-3. There were a slew of folks at 11-4: Rockhead, ElStud, Ragman, Cowdoc, EhBeth, Alex and, notably amongst the normally under-performers, George and Mysteryman. McGentrix, Tico, FoxFyre, Jespah, Wandeljw and Miz Cowdoc came in at 10-5. And, finally, Region and Edgar stumbled badly, going 7-8.

rjb,

against my better(?) judgement, i'll take the steelers over the bengals thursday night...

The standings after 11 weeks:

1) Ragman (.673 for the season) (1st last week)
2) Cowdoc (.654) (2nd)
3) Fbaezer (.636) (8th)
3) RealJohnboy (.636) (8th)
3) Osso (.636) (3rd)
3) ElStud (.636) (3rd)

12) Tico (.608) (12th)
13) Ehbeth (.604) (13th)
14) Rockhead (.585) (12th)
15) Alex (.574) (18th)
16) FoxFyre (.573) (15th)
17) Miz Cowdoc (.567) (15th)
18) Region (.554) (15th)
19) Mysteryman (.539) (19th)
20) George (.535) (20th)

Best ESPN guy: .682 (Good enough for 1st here)
Worst ESPN guy: .582 (Putting him in 15th)

RJB and Fbaezer, as a result of their strong performance this week, jumped 5 spots. Edgar, through a bad week of picking combined with other folks doing well, fell 8 spots.

Thanks for playing!

Nice to enjoy being in the upper crust before this weeks' what-the-hell games.

rjb, keep that small bottle of champagne you didn't drink inside the fridge. If you put it outside, your redneck friends will come, drink it, and say: "Where did you buy that sider, johnboy? It sure stinks!".

Week's, not weeks'.
