Okay then,

A few thoughts come to mind, the movie "It's Complicated", the RUN DMC song "It's Tricky", and the famous quote from the movie Cool Hand Luke, "What we have here is failure to communicate".

No NFL weekend is complete without questionable calls, missed calls, conspiracy theories and a bunch more stuff thrown in. This weeks games did not disappoint that's for sure, and TWFP is in the mix as well.

We had Sixteen people get all four games correct with a score of 34 points. Normally this would be a simple call to make and the placements would be awarded. However, only Five of those people put in their own picks and sent me their tie breaker, so the refs have thrown a flag. And after further review, and in fairness to those Five people, here are the results for this week. The total points of all four games combined was 191. Down from 215 last year.

Getting 1st place for the first time since joining the pool in 2020, with his closest to tie breaker of 182 is Jim K! That makes it two weeks in a row he's landed in the ca$hiSh, and four out of the last seven. 2nd place goes to Theresa with her t/b of 180. In 3rd is Yours Truly and my t/b of 179. 4th place is Kevin Q at 173, and 5th is our webmeister Steven with 172. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

And so it comes down to the final week of the season again to determine who wins it all. In the overall race to be crowned Champion of TWFP 2025, win a load of ca$hi$h and most importantly get the coveted CHAMPS trophy, AdriaNNa retains 1st place for another week. Jim K and Jeremy DDS swapped spots in 2nd and 3rd. Terence V remains in 4th and Steven moves back into the top group in 5th. Just off the pace and with a chance to land in the top five are Carson, Sean, Kevin Q, Leo, David R, Richard L and Jake FSF. The rest of us will be playing for the weekly ca$hiSh.

With only two games and 19 points to score in the final week, the tie breaker will be critical. Be sure to sharpen those pencils and Pick Em Good!

And since both games are being played on Sunday, the pick sheet will be out Friday morning to give us the most accurate spreads.

To those who are still alive in the college NIL National Championship Bowl Pool, good luck tomorrow night!
