Observations from Week 19

1. Luke Takes a Flier. Points leader Luke took two teams for upsets and it cost him. He picked both the Pack and the Seahawks and both lost, leaving him with only 6 points for the week. However his lead was such that he is still only one point off the lead now.

2. The Leaders. Jo with 188 points, Wayne and Luke with 187, Ed with 186,  Marc with 185,  Patrick with 184, Karen with 183, and Kevin with 180.

3. The Race is Tight.  Five people are within 4 points of the lead and seven are within eight.

4. Karen in First Place If... Karen's hatred of the Patriots has lost her 5 points this year, two on regular season games and three this past weekend. If she had remained true to the Pats, her point total would be 188, tied for the lead. But she wasn't and she isn't.

5. It Will Come Down to the Superbowl. With only two games left before the superbowl, few points can be made or lost until the Superbowl. The Superbowl is worth 7 points, so it will come down to picking the Superbowl winner correctly, as it should.
