Observations from the Commissioner, Week 17


We have a New Leader! Bran and Ryan are our new leaders with 111 points, followed closely by Sean and Kevin with 110 and Mike and Wayne with 109. Jo had the best week at 11-5 bringing her to 107. Mark follows with 106, then Ed with 101, Luke with 100 and Kate with 99. The Coin Toss is a pathetic 72.

Picks of the Week.  Wayne was prescient with his Cowboys pick over the Eagles. Equally so Sean with his Raiders pick over the Chiefs and the Commissioner with his Texans pick over the Jags. But the Pick of the Week officially goes to JoJo with Seahawks over the Rams. Bravo JoJo!!

Conventional Ignorance. Not one owner picked the Bucs over the Saints. Only one picked the Raiders, the Cowboys, the Texans, and the Seahawks.

Conventional Wisdom. Everyone picked the Pats (even Ed), the Ravens, the Steelers, the Falcons, and the Colts. All but one picked the Jets. All but a few picked the Chargers, the Giants, and the Pack.

An Impressive Season. Kevin and I have discussed how well the owners have been doing. Each owner has a strong winning percentage, and we are within 12 points of each other going into the playoffs. Both of us are impressed with that.
