I love that so late in the season, a couple of catastrophic weeks by the leaders combined with great weeks by me could see me win this thing. I highly doubt that this will occur, but I'm only 11 points behind the leaders. Man, I had some terrible weeks. Man.

Oops yes, please LOCK Seattle for me.

My workout has been changed from 0930 to 1200, so I will steal a moment to get the picks done. Last week was not exactly my best, but the good thing was our giving nomich some faint hope. What will this week bring?
