NFL Pickem Champion: Ying Yang Mafia: Turn out the lights, the party's over: Ying Yang Mafia has won the SportsFilter NFL Pick 'Em in a tiebreaker.
I'm going to write software to make it easier for users to run pick 'ems. Is there any interest in a weekend Premiership pick 'em for the remaining 13 games of the season?

Bravo YYM - well played!
I'm just glad I didn't lose on the commercial thing.

rcade: I'd play.

YYM clearly had Ray Lewis' god on his side yesterday. In other midwestern news, congratulations to another graduate of a fine MAC institution, Miami University, the Cradle of Coaches, for leading his team to s Super Bowl victory!

I am also awarding myself a bonus point for predicting not only that Budweiser would win the ad meter, but that it would be a clydesdale commercial that would do it. So now I can hold my head up and face the world.

That super bowl ad meter thing you linked to is from 2012.

Fixed. Thanks.

Next year I think I'm going to take a cue from this year's Big Game and shut off the lights when I do my picks; I might get a better score that way!
Seriously, Congrats to the Ravens and YYM.

This (and sweeping the Beyonce section of my prop betting pool) will ease the pain of coming a point short on my square.
Thanks for setting this up rcade. I would also play a premiership pick em. The CFL pick em has proven that I don't need to watch any of the games to enter a mediocre showing.
