Week 8 recap

Getting this out real late this week, the Commish has been active with things. I set the spreads on the website this morning, so if you've made your picks already, you are good to go.

Sunday was sure a roller coaster with lots of lead changes in the Cincy@Jets and Tenn@Indy games. Without looking, who knows what college team(s) Jets QB Mike White played for? I coulda been a contenda if it wasn't for that guy.lol And where was the Tennessee defense that shut down KC the week before? Both games did me in.

Alrighty then, our week eight winner came out of nowhere on Sunday night with his 10 pointer, and his team finally did him right. Taking 1st place and getting his first win of the year was Jose C with a strong score of 49. He picks the Cowboys every week as his ten pointer and it paid off this time. One guy used to do that with the Saints and he fared pretty well back in the day. In 2nd place was Rudy with 46, getting his first mention of the year. It looked like he was going to take home the bacon after the days games, but you never know what might happen on Sunday or Monday night, and that was the case for him. 3rd place went to Carson with 45, just a point behind and his first mention this year too. 4th place was a tie with 42 between the other half of the newlywed couple Doodles, and Pedro FP who is quietly having a good year and in striking distance of the leaders. Honorable mention goes to the oft mentioned Jozlyn, who just got back from her winning trip to Greece. CONGRATS TO THIS WEEKS WINNERS!

The overall points race and chance to be crowned Champ of TWFP 2021 is starting to tighten up. Gary T stays in the lead for another week, Jozlyn moves up a notch into 2nd. By way of his big win, Jose C joins the top group in 3rd, and Jared M drops two spots into a tie for 4th with Mike M. Just off the pace is Jay J.

It's still anybody's title to win, but it would take a near perfect showing the rest of the way for anyone with less than 200 points. The winning score will come in somewhere around 625-650 with the extra week of games, but that still leaves a lot of opportunity with 13 weeks to go.

For the rest of us, there's still lot's of games to be played, and A LOT of cashish to be gotten along the way. So sharpen up your pencils and as they say, Pick Em Good!

Best of luck to everybody this week, especially yours truly.

The pick sheet will follow.

Week 7 recap

HOT HOT HOT!!! That's how the Week 7 winner Gary T is feeling after finishing in 1st place for the third time this year. A feat accomplished only twice before, in 2013 by Larry B, and last year 2020 by Kris. And he did it in the first seven weeks of the season, something that's never happened either.

Taking 2nd place with 42 was Cris E, getting his name in lights for the first time this year. 3rd place was a tie with 41 between Mike H, his first trip to the well, and Hector, making it two weeks in a row for him. And we had a three way tie for 5th between Kris, Jared, and Jeremy, all with 40 points. Honorable mention goes to Bill and Joe just a point out. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the overall points race, Gary T by way of his impressive third win takes over 1st place, moving up two into the top spot. Jared M moves up three places to 2nd. Jozlyn drops two notches down to 3rd. Mike M maintains 4th, and Jay J joins the party in 5th place. Just off the pace is Hector.

Hard to believe we are a third of the way through the season already. Some of us are just getting out of bed so to speak. But, there's still 14 weeks left and lots of chances to take home some cashish and maybe win it all. Like I always say, you just gotta Pick Em' Good!

Okay, the pick sheet will follow.

Week 6 recap

Well Well Well we have our first perfect score of the year! Not an easy task and no matter which way the Monday night game went, someone was going to be perfect. We had another week of high scores so I think some of us are getting in the groove.

Sooooo CONGRATS to Jozlyn going 10 for 10 and scoring a perfect 55! Looks like the 2019 Champ is making another run this year. She was so excited about the possibility, she emailed me Sunday night from Greece just to be sure she was seeing it right on her phone. I think they are still on analog over there? Come Tuesday morning, I'm sure a lot of Greeks have now heard about TWFP.lol Way to go girl!

And not to be lost in the excitement, her neighbor and first year player Eric B had a pretty good finish too, coming in 2nd with 49 points. That's his highest score so far and first mention of his TWFP career. The other guy who almost had a perfect score, hitting 9 of 10 was Hector who finished in 3rd with 47 and his first placement of 2021. The Bills let me down too. : ( 4th place went to Jay J just a point behind with 46, making it two weeks in a row that he's finished in the cashish. And one point behind him at 46 was Jeremy J in 5th. Honorable mention went to the winner's son Jared, Sister Joy and the other Jeremy L. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the race for TWFP title and overall points winner, no surprise Jozlyn takes over the top spot. Jake FSF moves up one spot into 2nd. Gary T also moves up one to 3rd. Mike M drops down to 4th, as does the other Jared M down to 5th.

There's twelve weeks to go so it's still anyone's prize to win. And lot's of cashish to be gotten along the way, you just gotta Pick Em Good!

The Week 7 pick sheet will follow.
