The over/under line was 271.(The same number as last year) The final points total this year is 271. UFB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alrighty then here we go...............................

Taking 1st place this week with a perfect score of 45, and the only one to get all six games correct, is Anna of Waterbury! This is her first time landing in the ca$hi$h this season and first, 1st place since the Conference week of 2016. Whew! It was tough for her to pick the Patriots I'm sure as she is a die hard N.Y. GIINTS fan.(The whole Eli vs Brady thing) But I think she's happy with them today.

Taking 2nd place with 40 is Jerry getting his fourth mention of the season and putting him in the black for the year. In 3rd place by way of his 39 points and closest tie breaker of 275 is Maxx. 4th place with 39 and a T/B of 261 is Jim K. And 5th place with 38 and his T/B of 275 is Jose C. Honorable mention goes to Christina & Todd and Richard L.

CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the overall race to be crowned Champion of TWFP and get that coveted trophy to go on the mantle with all of life's other great accomplishments, AdriaNNa keeps a tight grip on 1st place for another week. And following suit, Jeremy also keeps his grip in 2nd place for another week. Jim K and Terence V trade places in 3rd and 4th, and Kris remains in 5th. Just off the pace is Sean.

Okay next week is the Divisional Playoffs and we only have four games, two on Saturday and two on Sunday. I will set the spreads and send out the pick sheet early on Thursday to give everyone enough time to make picks and SEND ME YOUR TIE BREAKER BY KICKOFF of the first Saturday game.

START WORKING ON THOSE TIE BREAKERS,

Alrighty then,

Getting back on track here, this weeks winner was none other than the birthday boy, my big brother Leo J. Eiffert Jr. aka Swampwater Fox aka Uncle Leo aka "Lee F****N O", a nick name given to him by his late great friend Toby Keith. He turned 80 yesterday, and he took 1st place going away with a near perfect score of 52. He was the winner no matter which way the Sunday night game ended up. Here's a pic of him entertaining the crowd Sunday at his birthday jam session in Apple Valley at Buckeye Jack's Saloon(photo). Taking 2nd place with a real good score of 47 is this years star so far, carrying the chick power torch, AndriaNNa with two N's. 3rd place went to Yours Truly with 44, probably because of my type-O of the KC spread on the website, making it easy for me to pick a 10 point game. The Raiders still almost did me in. 4th place went to Terence V just a point behind with 43 and in 5th place was Jeremy at 41. Honorable mention went to Chris M and Todd. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the overall points race to win the coveted trophy and be crowned Champion of TWFP for 2025, Adrianna remains in 1st place for three weeks running. Jeremy stays in second, also for three weeks running after taking the top spot in Week 15. Terence V gets back into the lead group to 3rd. Jim K holds onto 4th, and Kris drops two spots to 5th. Just off the pace is Jake FSF.

Okay, so this coming week is the Wild Card Playoffs where we only have six games to chose from. The point values will be 10-9-8-7-6 and 5. MAKE SURE YOU ASSIGN THE CORRECT POINTS TO YOUR GAMES. Do not use 4-3-2 and 1 even though the website says to.

And, we have the all important Tie Breaker in play which is, THE TOTAL POINTS COMBINED OF ALL SIX GAMES. Consult your bookie if you're not sure what that is. You have to have the highest score, and the closest guess to the total points to win the weekly ca$hi$h. Veterans please help the newbies. The spreads and pick sheet will be out on Thursday morning

Also, the BcS championship college bowl pool starts Thursday night, so let me know if you're IN and send me you pick for national champion and tie breaker asap.

Alrighty then,

This weeks winner has finally broken the curse of The Bambino, getting his first ever 1st place in The Weekly Football Pool! Antonio rises to the top and takes 1st place with a good score of 42, and he's the only one to get more than 40 points this week. He's been close with a number of 2nd places since joining TWFP in 2017, so now he can scratch that one off his bucket list.lol

2nd place is a three way tie at 36 between Bill, Jake FSF and Jay J, getting his first mention of the year. 5th place goes to our 2024 Champion Rudy, just a point behind with 35. Honorable mention is a seven man log jam of David R, Efrain, Jeff T, Brother Leo, Rick, Riel and Sean all just a point out at 34. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

For the overall points race to be crowned Champion of 2025, AdriaNNa reclaims the top spot in 1st. Terence V moves up one to 2nd. Jeremy drops down two to 3rd. Rory rejoins the lead group in 4th along with Andy M in 5th. Just off the pace is Sean.

This week we have the three holiday games on Thursday, one game on Friday, and the remaining games on Sunday and Monday, the same as last year. No byes. I'll get the pick sheet and spreads out early tomorrow morning to give everyone some time to overthink yours picks.

And I'll be sending out a separate email for the Turkey Day Bowl Pool after this. If you haven't replied yet, and you want to be IN the TDBP, send me a reply and say, I'm IN!
