Week 11 Observations

1. A Good Week.  League members came back from last week's disaster with solid picks and a little luck, The Ghost went from 3-11 to 11-3, begging the question of what his strategy was last week.

2. Winners of the Week. Nine members, a full half of the league tied for first place with a score of 12': Omaha, Jude the Prude, The Ghost, The Commish, Nashua, Deland, The Boss, Sanford, and Big Bird.

3. Hanging in There. While the Millie seems out of reach for anyone but the Boss or Deland, it is important to try to maximize your score to better position yourself for the playoffs. Presently, Jude the Prude is in good shape with 107 points, The Commish and Big Bird with 106, Omaha with 103, and newcomers Nashua and the 'Fro with 101.  Four others are lurking with 99.

4. Pick of the Week. The POW goes to Sanford for his pick of the Bucs over the Chiefs.

5. Reverse Picks of the Week. Ignominy aside, the RPOW go to Patrick for picking the Eagles over the Seahawks and Rolls for picking the Jags over the Lions.

Worth Mentioning. Our youngest solo member, Big Bird, is to be commended for his excellent showing this year, his first. He is currently tied for third with 106 points and has made consistently good picks throughout the season. The Commish allows that he himself has never actually met the young man, although he did attempt a discussion at Luke's house two summers ago. But Big Bird was in the middle of an intense texting conversation so contact was not actually made. On behalf the Go Zone community, the Commish wishes Big Bird well, but not too well. The vote was 9-8.
