There was absolute carnage across the contest this week. Tommytrump continues to hold on to the lead despite scoring 0 points -- a feat also managed by Holden and myself. Ic23b cuts Tommytrump's lead from 10 to 6 with a 5-point week, while Howard_T scores a week-best 9 that's the most bad-ass single-digit score all season. In the coveted Costanza, Bender falls back by a respectable 4 points.

Locks were broken for 17 out of 20 players: Cincinnati (Tahoemoj, Yerfatma, Cixelsyd, Rumple, Tron7, Goddam, Irish627, Rcade), Green Bay (Tommytrump, Ic23b, Grum@work, Jagsnumberone, Nomich, Ufez Jones), Denver (Goyoucolts, Holden) and Oakland (Bender). The only players to hit a lock were Jjzucal on New England and Howard_T on Carolina. (Owlhouse, by inscrutible Southern Hemisphere tradition, does not lock.)

Exact margins hit: Tampa Bay by 4 (Jagsnumberone, NoMich, Goddam) and Carolina by 17 (Ufez Jones, Billsaysthis).

Running late as usual on a Thursday night. Last week it paid off with the lock on Carolina. What will happen this week. I'm glad I was not the only one making funny noises with my finger on my lips after looking at last week's scores.

Was there a post from me from around 1:45 yesterday? It did not show up here. Even if my late picks for the 1:00 games can't count, I should still get my picks for the 4:00 games.

If you have a copy, email it to me. I'll check the error logs to see if there was a problem saving it.

posted by rcade at 04:19 PM on November 23, 2015

Hmm, I do not. If you can find it, that's great. If not, I'll just pick tonight's game:

New England by 17 Sure, let's lock it in.

If the Patriots win by any amount, I'll match last week's score!
