Week 6 Observations

1. The Boss Rules. After solid wins in the past two weeks, the Boss has leaped into a seemingly insurmountable lead.  After 6 weeks, her average of 10.833333333333333333333333333 is quite impressive. Despite a small controversy around the legitimacy of her scores, she should be proud of very high average, nearly a full point ahead of Luke's pace from last year.

2. Women to the Forefront. Nashua tied the Boss for winner of the week, matching the Boss's score of 12 points this week. Also, Judy, with 60, and Kevin with 62 join the Boss in the 60's. It is rewarding to see the distaff members of the league shine so brightly this year.

3. Pick of the Week. There were no singular picks of the week, but Deland, the Boss and Sanford should be jailed commended for their pick of the Chargers over the highly favored and hard to see how they lost Broncos. Also to be commended are Jude the Prude, the King of the North, and Rolls for their picks of the Cowboys over the Packers.

4.The Reverse Pick of the Week goes to Granby for picking the Browns over the Titans. Any pick of the Browns is fraught with terror, as are picks of the Bears this year.

5. Close Games Important. It is a testament to how difficult it is to consistently scored highly each week given the many close games and last minute wins that the NFL affords. To meander through that minefield each week takes incredible knowledge of the game and intuition for the winners of close games.
