Okay so we've reached the half way point of the season. For the new people, and the forgetful people, we play 20 weeks through the playoffs. The last three weeks 18,19 and 20, we use a tie breaker. The tie breaker is, the total points of all playoff games combined. Start practicing!

It took them ten weeks, but the ladies have stepped up to the plate going 1-2-3 and displaying their "chick power". Taking 1st place last week was Randi with 43 points. She's no stranger to the top spot as she took 1st place in week 13 last year too. In 2nd place was Joy just a point behind at 42, and some more $joy$ for her like last year. For 3rd place, we have a five way tie at 41 with Adrianna leading the way, along with Chon, Cris, Jeff and MikeH. I'm pretty sure that's our first five way tie for anything. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

For the overall, SamK stays in 1st place, Rory jumps up the 2nd, Cris gets back into the running in 3rd, BrianF drops two spots to 4th and Theresa is representing the ladies, moving into the top group in 5th. Good job Guys and Gal!8-)

Just a reminder, next week is Thanksgiving. The bye weeks will be over, and we get back to a full slate of 16 games. Be sure to get your picks in on time for the Turkey Day contests. We have a big game to start the day, with Minnesota at Deetroit. I know SteveG doesn't want to miss that one. :-)

Good luck to everyone this weekend and GO SAINTS!

Alrighty then...

Last week's soiree turned into a good battle on Monday night. It could have Brett going for the glory with his Packers at Lambeau Field... but Don from Dallas and newbie Larry A from Connecticut were having no part of it. Taking 1st place, with our first, 1st place tie of the season were the aforementioned dynamic duo with 50 points. They were in the money either way, but I'm sure this is sweeter for them both.

In 3rd place, just one point behind with 49 was our defending champs, Christina and Todd, and their first time in the honey this year. 4th place went to Pam with 47 and her second time placing this year. And the consolation prize was a three way tie at 46 between Brett, Dave and Jim. Honorable mentions are in order from last week for LarryA and MikeM, and this week to Bill and Eddie with 45. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the overall race for the championship, SamK stays in 1st place for another week, BrianF makes a move and climbs into second place. Rory move up from 5th to 3rd. JakeFSF drops to 4th, and JoseC gets back into the mix in 5th.

Some interesting match ups the weekend, Dallas @ ATLANTA, New England @ DENVER and the game of the week, New Orleans @ BUFFALO.

A lot of people still have a shot at the title, and there's lots of cash to gotten along the way. As always in TWFP, somebody's gonna win, so be the one and pick 'em good!

And of course second place luck to you all-

WOW WOW WOW! Lightning strikes again... and back-to-back at that!

Another perfect score of 55 points in TWFP? Has something gotten into the beer? One maybe, two possibly, but three perfect scores in one season? That's a first and THAT'S INCREDIBLE!!!!!

ALL HAIL Jeff this week and his perfect 10 for 10 score of 55. WOW! He had 1st place locked up after the Sunday games and only had to sit back and hope for the Chefs to come through. And they did!

Taking 2nd place was Dale with a strong 50 points, which would be good enough for first almost any other week of the season, just not this week. 3rd went to Rory with 49 points, 4th to the husband and wife team of Barbara and Ben with 48, and the consolation prize to SamK with 47. All good scores that could take first on any given week. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the overall points total, SamK makes his mark and takes the top spot for the first time. JakeFSF stays in 2nd. Cris drops down two into 3rd. Rudy moves up one spot to 4th and Rory gets into the top group in 5th.

How about the World Series this year?!? Really fun to watch both teams battling back to make it seven games. May the best team win but, GO DODGERS ASTROS!

Okay, the pick sheet and spreads will be out on Wednesday.
