2. Marcus wins the week. Marc tied for first with six others with a 10-6 week, but he was the lone winner Monday night, so his total points was 11, tying him with his dad at 169.
3. Bran and Marc get Picks of the Week. Bran picked the Giants to win at the Rams and Marc picked the Bengals to win at home against the Broncos.
4. Unanimous duds. Of our three unanimous picks, only the Patriots pulled out a win. The Eagles lost to the Redskins and the Bills lost to the Raiders. Both games had playoff implications for the losing teams, effectively eliminating them from Super Bowl contention.
5. Ed closing in on Kevin's regular season record for points. Kevin set the record last year with 188 points. With Ed at 176, he would need 12 points to tie and 13 to set a new record. Kevin averaged 11 points per week last year, and Ed is averaging exactly 11 points per week this year.
***Pats ban lifted. This week's games might be tricky with some teams potentially resting players because a loss would not affect their seeding. The Pats are one of those teams and the Bills could have been a tough game for them. With this in mind, the unofficial ban on picking against the Pats will be lifted for the last game.
So says
