[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

Anybody's game from here on out....

but I guess I'll take the Colts and Vikings.

[John Blaze]

colts
saints......I Hope.

[Randall Flagg]

4 games back of 3rd with three to go. Officially eliminated.
Unless I'm missing something, the only person who could catch Spencer (even if he goes 0-3 he ties for second) is SkippyD023, and the only person who could catch SkippyD023 is Gsvec.
Congratulations to Browning's Childe for first place.
Still some drama left.

Indianapolis
New Orleans

[NeedfulKings]

Now that I'm 13 games back from 3rd place, I guess I'm eliminated too!

Nice work everyone....there are still a couple of trophies not locked up, plus I'll be spreading some beam bucks to 4th, 5th, and 6th place. Tie Breaker rules will apply (Super Bowl score).

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

I was thinking that next year we might could make our picks for NFC/AFC champions and Superbowl champs at the beginning of the season for some bonus points at the end. So there might be a little added drama to the end of the season. Thoughts? (We would still pick the games at the end of the season as we normally would, but there could be some bonus points if you had it right at the beginning of the season) Just a thought.

It's not anybody's game, you already won.

Not a bad idea. We did try a bonus point scenario last year and it complicated (and in some ways tainted) the purity of the game. That said, there's always room for special achievements and awards, outside of the regular point system, and this may be one we could use.

Yep!

No, I meant anybody's game from the various teams' perspectives.

It was just a thought, I like it just the way it is too.

I like this idea...quite a long shot. But I'm happy with or without this idea.

Sunday, Jan. 24

NY Jets at Indianapolis – Colts are just too good to lose here......although I would not mind at all a huge upset. Colts.
Minnesota at New Orleans - I gotta stick with the old man. He's done me good all year. Favre.

These should both be great games. Is the season already basically over?!

[Merlin1958]

J-E-T-S
Vikings


That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!

Good luck everyone!

Indy

[gsvec]

Colts & Saints for me!

So last year I lost last place by one game and now it appears I'll just miss 3rd. I get *this close* to a trophy yet again!

Congrats to us all for making it to the end - almost!

[NeedfulKings]

For now, I'll say....

Indy
Minnesota

[NeedfulKings]

Congrats to us all for making it to the end - almost!

I agree! Win or lose, it's a fun ride for me!!!

It's always fun for sure. I'm just hoping the 2nd place trophy doesn't have a #2 theme.
