Our week 5 winner was none other than Jake. Not the Jake who usually gets his name in lights, but JAKE T with a strong 51 points. This is his 2nd year in the pool and first time in the top dog spot, so I'm sure his Dad Dave T is very happy this week.

In 2nd and 3rd place we finally got some chick power from Pam with 47 and Theresa with 44 points. Nice to see the ladies rising to the occasion. Gary takes 4th place with 43 points, and the consolation prize goes to Rick with 42. Honorable mention goes to BrianF, Jim, Louie, Richard and Rudy. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!8-)

In the overall, JakeFSF holds onto the top spot, Cris moves up to second, BrianF moves up to 3rd, rookie Richard into 4th and JoseC drops to 5th.

Okay, the spreads are set on the website so you can pick your games. The MNF dog game of the year TENNESSEE vs. Indianapolis doesn't have a spread yet, not that it matters right? Once there is a spread posted, I will set it on the site and let everyone know with an email. If they don't have a line by game time, we will play it straight up EVEN.

TWFP is coming from Mexico this week so of course everything is mañana...

PERFECT! That's what last weeks winner was, going 10 for 10 and making most of us look like amateurs. Hats off to Cristian Estrada taking 1st place with 55 points and throwing his name into this years winners circle. Take THAT Steve G! This is his first time in the cashish in a couple of years, and I believe this is our first perfect score since week three of the 2015 season.

Not very far behind taking 2nd place with only 50 points was Bill H. Is that all you've got?LOL We had a tie for 3rd with a ho-hum score of 49 between newbie Rory and second year player SamK. And the consolation prize goes to JakeFSF with 43. Honorable mention goes to last weeks runner up Geoff.

Great scores guys and CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

Tonight's spread is New England 5½ TAMPA BAY

In the race for the overall, JakeFSF moves up to the top spot, Danny G stays in 2nd and JoseC drops down to third. By way of his PERFECT score, Cris moves into the fourth spot and Geoff slips one to fifth.

Tonight's spread is set on the website, so you can make your pick if you are playing the game.

After a couple more happy hour Pacifico's, I will be sending out the pick sheet for the rest of the games later today.

In spite of it all, The Weekly Football Pool goes on...

This weeks winner is Texas newcomer JoseC with 48 points. His Cowboys came through for him on MNF and got him his first, 1st place in the history of mankind.8-) So our winning scores the first three weeks were 48, 48 and 48. That's spooky.=-O

Taking 2nd with 44 was Geoff. He had a shot at it if the MNF game had gone the other way, and it looked good early on. In 3rd place was another second year player SamK who had a good start with his gutsy 10 point pick on Thursday, but came up a little short with 39. Tying for 4th with 35 was Danny Gonzo and another newcomer to the pool, but no stranger to the game, Rick. Honorable mention goes to JakeFSF & Joy, showing some chick power, tying at 32. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the race for the title, by virtue of his 1st place, JoseC jumps up into the top spot, Danny G drops one spot to 2nd, as well as JakeFSF to 3rd. Geoff with his strong week moves up into the group in 4th, and Jordan & SteveG are in a tie for 5th. Good Job guys!

It was a low scoring week with an average of only 18.5, and just the top two guys breaking 40.

I'm not pushing for more players, but I need to mention that this is the last week anyone can get in. After week four, TWFP 2017 is closed to new players. 60 is a nice round number and easy to manage. So a BIG HAND to you all for getting your picks done on time and making it a Brees to manage. Remember, I'm a food broker not a bookie, and I just want to win your money fair and square.

Okay, the pick sheet and spreads will be out sometime tomorrow.
