3. If the member's pick is the underdog in the game, 2 points will be added as well.

Week 17 Observations

1.     The Commish Wins Regular Season. The Commissioner wants to thank all the members for their congratulatory cards, flowers., e-mails, letters and phone calls. He is incredibly impressed with the good will shown to him and will continue to work hard to see that the league is successful. 184, a new league record, took first place. Kevin and JoJo were tied for second with 182, Newcomer Patrick and Cousin Wayne tied for third with 180,  Kate came in fourth with 175, Ed fifth with 174, B-Ry sixth with 173,  Sean seventh with 171, and Luke eighth with 163.  Discounting Luke who missed a week, only 13 points separated the members, in 17 weeks. That is less  than a point a week! Of course when a member has a historically bad week, like Kevin did, that can really affect the numbers.

2.     Bran and Ryan and Cousin Wayne get Picks of the Week. B and R singularly chose the Titans to beat the Texans and get the POW.  Cousin Wayne was the only member to pick the Chiefs. 

3.     Lucas Wins the Week. Luke had two winning aspects to the week.  His 13-3 was week’s best (and that includes a Redskins over Eagles pick!) and his overall picks won him the seedings competition. Based on members’ picks for the week, Luke’s picks were the only ones to result in the correct AFC seedings.

4.     Unanimous Picks Prevail.  Members were 5-0 in their unanimous picks. The Falcons, 49ers, Saints, Steelers and Patriots all won. If Luke hadn’t picked the Redskins and B-Ry the Cowboys, members would have been 7-0 in unanimous picks.

5.     Favorites Rule. Teams favored to win were 11-5 this week.

More Errors!

My dad also had the Cards and the Pats.

Errors!

Commish, you switched our picks in the Lions/Packers game. I should have the Packers and my dad should have the Lions.
