This is one of the closest pickems I can remember at the end of a season. I bet it gets decided by which playoff teams rest their starters.

I knew that I had a good week so the 122 points didn't surprise me too much, but man, that was nothing compared to jagsnumberone's 158 points. That's gotta be a weekly record.

Whoa! I need to check the database. Jagsnumberone even got extra points on a 40-point win by the Pats against a team I'll neglect to mention.

Making some changes after reading about playoff situations.
In his first 20 starts, Tua Tagovailoa has nine games with a 70% or higher completion percentage. That's tied for most-ever at that point, which is weird to me since I've been thinking of him as a bust.

Just missed an even bigger week last week if the Ravens would have held on/lol. Still have no chance to win it all, and this is the toughest week of the year to predict (who's mailing it in, who's playing starters, etc). And yes, for the second week in a row, I'm not picking my beloved clown show Jaguars (the Dolts need this win and the Jags need the loss). Just getting some momentum for the playoffs for me (just like the CFL, not so good regular season, then win the playoff edition, fingers crossed)

After seeing the results of yesterday's games, I figured I could just copy rcade's picks and win by virtue of locking the Cowboys yesterday. But what kind of coward does that?!

My only gamesmanship is to lean harder on favorites and post early when I'm ahead late in a pickem contest, but I didn't do that this time because we're practically tied.
The big should-I-have-done-that is choosing the Lions.

... and the Browns. I keep forgetting that Keenum is an upgrade over Mayfield.
posted by tahoemoj at 02:32 PM on January 09, 2022
I thought Burrow's absence and the Browns being at home would be the deciders.
posted by rcade at 03:04 PM on January 09, 2022
Well, -10's all around on the Jags!
