This is getting frustrating. I have the second most wins with a 70$ ration and I'm still in the bottom half of the league. The good thing is 2-7 are fairly bunched up. I'd be in third place right now if I hadn't been an idiot three weeks ago and gone 13-1, but forgot to add the confidence points for several games. 

dbunting has a strong poll position, so absent him making a giant mistake and/or someone going on a heater, he should win this year. 

Stop it, I know what you are doing. Put the hex proof on me and stop trying to jinx me

The NFL playoffs can have big swings.  My memory is that the first two round games are 4,8,12,16.  The conference championships 8,16 and the Super Bowl 16.

Yep, last year I went from around 5-6 to 3rd during the playoffs and if I hadn't kept going for the upset against the Patriots I would have been 1st or close to it.

The drop weeks will most likely occur when there are a bunch of byes AND upsets.  You don't get 11,12,13,14,15 or 16 point picks in weeks 9 or 11.

As predicted. :hat:

 

Edited to add: Even though scrambled up the idea that 6 teams on bye means 3 fewer games rather than six.

Normally this is where I’d update us, but what’s the point? Everyone dropped last week. Congratulations Ramsay for being the least wrong. Standings remain the same.  

But it changed the standings quite a bit.  Each team effectively regained what had been previously their dropped score.  I slipped from 2nd to 4th.

Fair point, but you’re only 3 points behind second place.

Setting the two QUITTERS!!! aside, the league was pretty close this year record wise. There's only a 16 game gap between first and last, which amounts to one game a week when you factor in the drop week. And if we had these records while gambling, we'd be rich. That's why I am going to put it up to a vote next year regarding dropping the points for the spread, but we can discuss that then.

 

Also, it looks like the week where I went 13-1 and got next to no points because I didn't set values really cost me in the end. I think I would be in 5th had I not made that mistake. :bawl:
