Well I haven't seen or followed much football this season, but I was watching today and I couldn't believe Mike McCarthy didn't throw the red flag and the challenge the catch by the Giants WR. Clearly the ball was trapped and the play should have been called back. That was a game changer and the G-Men never looked back. What a huge mistake, YUGE!

So taking 1st place in the last regular week of the season was Richard G with a near perfect score of 54! He came out of nowhere with "WTF" as his 10 point pick to get his first win of the year. I think he's going to wait until the last minute every week to make his picks from now on.lol 2nd place is a tie between Mike M and Timmy from Las Vegas both with 46. Taking 4th and getting his first mention of the year is Antonio A with 43. Honorable mention goes to Sister Joy and Joe F just a point off at 42. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the total points race we have a new leader at the top, Mike M takes over 1st after being in the top group since week nine. AdriaNNna has been tough to beat since she took over in week eight, nine straight weeks at number one, and slips one spot to 2nd. Cris E stays in 3rd, and Timmy FLV moves back into the top group in 4th.

Next week is the WILDCARD PLAYOFF WEEK. There is a new format starting this year with 14 teams making the playoffs instead of 12. Another ASTERISK* to put on 2020 sports. Pretty soon every team in every sport will get juicy juices and orange slices to go along with their million $ paychecks and bruised egos.

At any rate, there are now SIX wildcard games and we use a tie breaker to determine the winners. The TIEBREAKER is the total points of ALL SIX games combined. Three games on Saturday and three games on Sunday. The pick sheet and reminder instructions will be out on Thursday.

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year!
