Alrighty....................

In the Divisional Playoff Week only one person got all four games correctly, unlike last year when we had a five way tie. Taking 1st place and going 4 for 4 with 34 points was Just Jared. That's his fourth time in the paint this year and first 1st place since Week 17 of 2021. Second place was a three way tie in points between Chon, Scott and Terence. By way of their closest to the total points(194) tie breakers, the placements were: 2nd Terence with 195, and 3rd was a tie with both Chon and Scott at 192. Fifth place was a log jam of six people with 26 points, and coming out on top with his tie breaker of 189 was Larry A. Honorable mention goes to Brian F, James B, Kevin Q, Nate and Richard. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the overall points total Sister Joy commanded 1st place for another week and Victor remained in 2nd. Like them Rick also held on to his position in 3rd, Nephew Jared moved back into the top five in 4th and Jeremy dropped on to 5th. Just off the pace is Sister Jocelyn.

So as mentioned before, 1st and 2nd have been determined, but there's still a race for 3rd through 5th for those with 595 or better, and you know who you are. So best of luck to you all on this final day of TWFP 2023!

It will be fun for me because I dropped a C note on Deetroit back in September to win it all, so I'm pulling for them of course. But I'm hedging my bets in the pool on the 49ers because I think Aaron Rogers has some insider information about the colors in the logo, and the confetti in the potato chip commercial.wink wink

My picks for today are BAL for 9 and SF for 10.

Best of luck to everyone whether it's for the weekly payout or the overall.

This week turned out to be a wild one for sure, and Buffalo was the reason again. Last year it was when Damar Hamlin dropped on the field against Cleveland for no reason.(rolls eyes) And this year it was because of global warming blizzard in upstate New York.(eyes rolling further) I thought we might have to organize a rescue party and go shovel snow. But the good people of Buffalo saved us a trip and they got the stadium ready for the game. Thank You Very Muuuuuch.......

That's what Scott is saying after taking 1st place two weeks in a row! And that's his third one of the season too. He bested the field going 5-6, scoring 40 points and made his mark on TWFP. He made a comment when he was signing up for the pool this year. I'll keep it under wraps for now because I don't want to jinx him, but it was sort of a prediction. Taking 2nd place, also going 5-6 and just a couple points behind was last years WCP winner Rick with 38. Just a point behind him we had a tie score of 37 between Bill and Roger. By way of his closest to the total(308) tie breaker of 287, Roger takes 3rd place. Bill's T/B was 270 so he gets 4th place. And 5th goes to Jake "From State Farm" just a couple of points behind them with 35. Honorable mention goes to Kevin Q, Kevin T and Brother Leo, who might have gotten 2nd place, but he didn't pick a team in the Deetriot game. AND the Commissioner is giving a $10 boobie prize this year to Jay J, the only one who was brave enough to go higher than 300 points with his tiebreaker. CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

Okay, now that everybody remembers and understands how the tie breaker works, it will come even more into play the next two weeks.

We have four games on tap this coming weekend, two Saturday and two Sunday, weather permitting. I'll be setting the spreads and sending out the pick sheet on Thursday night to give everyone a day to work on their tie breaker. We ONLY use 10, 9, 8, and 7 this week. Please send me your tie breaker as soon as you can so I can have them ready to go by kickoff of the first Saturday game. Oh yea, remember to make your picks also.

Any questions, email, text or send a carrier pigeon.

Happy Mardi Gras,

Larry E.

Alrighty then,

Our Week 17 winner was Honest Todd with 48 points. That's his first 1st of the season and second time in the paint. Taking 2nd with 45 was one of the Mike's, H landing in the ca$hi$sh for the first time. 3rd went to Rory with 44, just a point behind. Richard took 4th with 42, getting his third mention of 2023 and 5th was a tie between Jay J and Timmy from Las Vegas. Honorable mention went to Jose and Theresa.

This week rookie Scotty B got his second 1st place of the year with 52 points, going 9 for 10 and darn near had our only perfect score of 2023. Taking 2nd with 49 was Jay J landing is the dough two weeks in a row. 3rd place was a three way tie between Efrain, James Bond and Jose C all with 46. Honorable mention went to AdriaNNa with two N's and Honest Todd.

CONGRATS TO ALL THE WINNERS!

In the overall race for space, 1st place and a nifty TWFP trophy for the mantle, Sister Joy continues the torrid pace remaining in 1st place for a whole lot of weeks! Not letting up in second is Victor who has also been in 2nd for a whole lot of weeks. And Nephew Jared hangs onto 3rd place for a whole lot of weeks. Jeremy has moved up into the top group and Rick dropped a spot to 5th. Just off the pace is Sister/Mother Jozlyn and Terence V.

HERE COME THE PLAYOFFS..........................................

Just a reminder we play 21 Weeks through the playoffs so there's still three weeks left to TWFP. Of course there's less games so you will only be picking from 10 points on down. AND we use a Tie Breaker WHICH IS THE TOTAL POINTS OF ALL THE WEEKS GAMES COMBINED.

There are two games on Saturday, three on Sunday and a Monday night game. I will set the spreads and send out the pick sheet on Friday morning so we get the most accurate lines.

congrats to michigan
