Come on John. Week 10 is not done.
I am surprised that you haven't noticed the rhythm to the schedule here. It is unchanged for the last few, nay, many years. It is, if I must say so myself, quite logical.
Watch Week #12, which is Thanksgiving week in America. Folks tend to disappear from Wed through Sun. I am confident that I will still get a full house.

Does this mean I didn't do well?
@Ticomaya,
As a well-heeled chap I don't suppose you would bet in $1 stakes Tico. At $10 you lost $1010 on the week's games. Virtually of course.
But in reality you are not smarter than the bookies. Anybody on the + side can legitimately claim to be smarter than the bookies. Your credibility is at stake which is not be spun with assertions.
@spendius,
Perhaps we should pass the hat round.
Liontamerx won week #10. He and Miz Cowdoc tied at 11-2 but he was closer to the total points in last night's game. McGentrix had a good week, going 10-3.
Osso finished at 9-4 as did Cowdoc and George. A bunch of us went 8-5: Mysteryman, JPLosman, Wandeljw, Coastalrat, AndyD, Ragman and Johnboy. JPB, Edgar, Jespah, Ehbeth and Rhys came in at 7-6. Tico was 6-7 while Region straggled in at 5-8.
I treated the tied game as a "non-game" but ESPN gave all of their experts a loss. The best guy was 10-4 while the worst was 6-8. CoinToss had another bad week at 6-7.
As a group we did not do very well. We got about 57% of our picks right.
My Week #11 Picks:
Buffalo
Green Bay
Atlanta
Tampa Bay
Dallas
Washington
St Louis
Cincinnati
Houston
New Orleans
Denver
New England
Pittsburgh
Chicago (20-17)

That's great ... I did slightly better than the guy who is
trying to pick wrong.
I prepared the standings based on 13 games in Week #10 - leaving the St L vs SF tie out of the equation. I will "make good" on conforming with ESPN next week - giving everyone an extra loss.
AFTER 10 WEEKS-
(-) Best ESPN expert (103-43 .710).
(1) Cowdoc (94-51 .648) continues his hold on 1st.
(2) Miz Cowdoc (71-42 .628) moves up from 5th while
(3) Wandeljw (90-55 .621) drops from 2nd, as does
(3) Ragman.
(5) Liontamerx (89-55 .618) jumps from 10th.
(6) Osso (89-56 .614) is down a couple notches.
(7) McGentrix (88-56 .607) moves up 4 spots and
(7) George stays put.
(9) JPLosman (77-51 .602) slips a bit.
(10) Coastralrat (87-58 .600) does, too.
(11) Mysteryman (86-59 .593) holds 11th.
(12) Rhys (85-60 .586) and
(12) Johnboy are largely unchanged and are joined by
(12) Tico who slumps from 7th.
(-) The Worst ESPN guy (83-63 .568)
(15) AndyD (82-63 .566) goes nowhere.
(16) JPB (81-64 .559) hasn't moved much.
(-) CoinToss (80-65)
(17) Edgar (77-68 .531) and
(17) Jespah remain in 17th place.
(19) Ehbeth (74-71 .513) is still where she was and
(20) Region (66-79 .455) remains in last place.

Bills played tough against the Texans and Patriots but only get a point
spread of one at home against the Dolphins who got their Floridian
fannies spanked by the Titans? That's a head-scratcher.

@realjohnboy,
Notice John that two ladies are bottom in your list and two blokes are bottom in mine.
I knew misogyny was in play somewhere. Region doesn't count because he's aiming for bottom.
