- Start date
- Sort by reaction score
OVERALL TIEBREAKERS: (Entrants will be eliminated at each step, until a winner is determined)
Tiebreaker #1 - The entrant who has made the most Winning Picks among the remaining entries will be considered the winner.
Tiebreaker #2 - The entrant whose Winning Picks have the largest aggregate total score difference over the course of the season.
For example:
The aggregate total would be 31+21+3 = 55 points.
Week 1: Win 45-14 (31pts)
Week 2: Win 31-10 (21)
Week 3: Win 17-14 (3)
Tiebreaker #3 - The entrant whose date of entry creation was recorded in the system the earliest.
Indeed! Just something about that Romo fail that I smelled coming.I just knew the Cowboys were going to screw everyone over!
I was rather clueless about #2 and #3.
In fact, they are quite weird. Wouldn't the closest wins be the ones that give you more points? Meaning you chose more difficult games and didn't went with the easy picks...
And as for #3, I would have guess ESPN would promote entering each week to make a pick, instead of making all from the very beginning. Or at the very least not taking this into account.
Anyways... I've learned my lesson. Never trust in Tony Romo!!
They are counting the spread total from each game. So the bigger the final score the more points.I was rather clueless about #2 and #3.

So nearly everyone picked the Bengals. Or a few people forgot to make a pick.
Agreed. Looks like most took advantage of the "whoever is playing the Jaguars" strategy.
I would like to thank everyone for sucking at this. First place.
Very eloquent my friend.
I'm just one game back so don't slip up.
I can't believe Broncos lost to Rams.... 7-22!
I can't believe I pick Indy 4 days ago and everybody else follows suit.
Still one game behind.
More so that the giants suck monkey balls. Just a joke, might as well call them the Jets.#YouMadBro ?

What makes it so sweet is that it was your own Giants who choked away your lead.
There are still a lot of weeks to go. So, truly, it's still anyone's game at this point.
I was concerned about this game, altho I wasn't ready to pull the trigger on the Rams, seeing as the Raiders did win last week. I also wasn't convinced the Lions would beat the Bears.What makes it so sweet is that it was your own Giants who choked away your lead.

It was a tough week to make a pick with lots of toss up and trap games. I initially picked the Giants as well, but after doing some further research I chose to go with the Rams. The Jags burned me last year so I'm always nervous about picking against them event though it seems like such a sure thing.
