When I said "Whew, another close one", I was referring to Grammatica's last second field gold to beat the Giants. But: it also fits this weeks picks, to me. Looks like a lot of games where I could just as well pick one team as the other..
predicting who will win is only slightly more sophisticated than flipping a coin...
Week #13 has just the one game remaining betwixt Carolina and Philly. But I can already declare that Chiso (at 12-3 before tonight's game) will win the week for the 2nd time this season. Osso is at 10-5. The rest of us; well the rest of us didn't do too well.
Hah, just noticed I said "field gold"...

Following jes' lead, I picked all the visiting teams. Watch us both end up at 8-8.
Again, I would prefer not posting next week's schedule until this week is done. But that damn Thursday night game... Johnboy turns his A2K hat such that the bill is behind him. You can tell he is unhappy when he does that.[/quote]

WEEK #13 Post Mortem
As a group, we probably did worse this week than we have in most any other week. Only 6 of us managed to end up with more wins than losses.
Kudos to Chiso who romped in at 12-4. He wins his second weekly title of the year.
Osso, Liontamer and Sublime had a very respectable showing: 10-6. Tico and Fbaezer at 9-7 were the other two players above .500 for the week.
Region, JPinMilw, Panzade and Cowdoc broke even at 8-8. It gets bad after that. George, Jespah and Kicky came in at 7-9. No $100 in the office pool for Kicky this week I suspect. And then there were Johnboy Cjhsa, Pantalones, JPB and Child who pathetically limped in at 6-10.
The best ESPN picker finished at 11-5. The worst was 8-8
Fasten you seatbelts for our new standings. TURMOIL AT THE TOP!
Here are the standings after Week #13. There are some significant changes and I warned yall a couple or three weeks ago to watch out for Chiso.
1) Chiso (.659 winning %) (3rd last week)
2) Cowdoc (.651) (2nd)
3) Kickycan (.642) (1st)
4) Sublime (.613) (8th!)
*) Best ESPN Dude (.613) (5th)
5) JPinMilw (.609) (5th)
6) Panzade (.604) (ranked this week for the first time)
6) Pantalones (.604) (4th)
8) Region (.599) (7th)
8) Child of Light (.599) (5th)
10) Liontamerx (.593) (9th)
11) Osso (.583) (10th)
12) Johnboy (.557) (11th)
13) JPB (.545) (12th)
**) Worst ESPN Guy (.544) (14th)
14) George (.542) (13th)
15) Tico (.536) (14th)
16) Fbaezer (.531) (15th)
17) Jespah (.500) (16th) Random picking equals 50-50 results
18) Cjjhsa (.461) (17th)
Many of us slipped a notch because I included Panzade this week.

This might be a week I change my mind before game time on Thursday.
Hey, who you callin' pathetic, bubba?

(while aiming for pathetic)
Trust me, never again will I say "It can't get any worse than last week, can it?"

By the way, my wife wrote down her picks last week, but didn't post them. She wound up at 10-6. I'll see if she'll put them up here this week.
Ms Cowdoc's picks what have gotten her on the leader board. Encourage her to post this week.
JPB. I never said you were pathetic. This bubba would never say someone was pathetic (at least not on this thread). The phrase was "...pathetically limped in..." There is a difference. At least, I think there is a different nuance.

She sure didn't copy my picks, so she'll more than likely do pretty well. Have a great week, folks - we're off to Boise again this afternoon! :-)
