And so the Saints move on to Minnesota...........................

What a crazy finish to that one. And with an exclamation point on the last play! I was hoping the Rams would win yesterday so the Saints could get a week off in Philly. But if they can get past the Vikings next week, they will go home to Da Dome against Atlanta for the conference championship. I know Steve Gannon and a few others have a different idea about that though. The good news is, they play on Sunday when the temp will be 3º. It will be 1º on Saturday. YIKES! Thank goodness they will be playing indoors. The other three games should be cakewalks for the favored team.hint hint

Alright then, four people were perfect this week in TWFP with 34 points. Final total of all games was 152. Taking 1st with his real close tiebreaker of 149 and closest to(3) was Geoff. His first 1st place this year and third time collecting some cashish. In 2nd place was the fore mention SteveG at 175(23). 3rd place went to SteveF just four behind him at 179(27), and 4th went to yours truly with 181(29). Consolation prize went to Matt, Geoff's Dad at 110(42). He was looking really good after the morning contest. But the second game snatched 1st place right out of his hands. Honorable mention goes to Rudy with 27. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

In the race for the overall points total and crown of TWFP Champion for 2017, SamK is still in the lead by 12, but the race has tightened up some. CrisE moves up to the 2nd spot. Richard climbs two places to 3rd. Rory makes his move into the top group in 4th. And Rudy gets back into the mix in 5th tied with BrianF who drops down from 2nd. At this point anyone with 540 or better has a shot at the title. The next two weeks will be wild.

I will send out the pick sheet on Wednesday night this week. Thursday might have been cutting it a little close for some with the Saturday game.AHEM!

The Commish was generous this week regarding TIEBREAKERS. Fortunately it didn't have any effect on the outcomes. Next week will be brutal, unless you can prove the dog ate your pick sheet, SO DON'T FORGET TO EMAIL YOUR TIEBREAKER.

Have a good week and WHO DAT!

Hope everyone had a safe and sane celebration last night. What a finish to the Rose Bowl. Too bad somebody had to come out on top. Looking like all SEC in the big game right now.

Taking 1st place in the last regular season week was Chon with 46 points. He's been close a few times this year but managed to squeak this one out. Tying for 2nd place, just one point behind the leader was Joe and Steven with 45. That's Joe's second time in the cashish this year, and Steven's second time in two weeks. In 4th place was Richard at 41, and we had a tie in 5th for the beer money between JakeT and Rob. Honorable mention goes to Roger who is absolutely thrilled he's not in last place anymore. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

For the overall points total, SamK stays on top another week, BrianF moves up to 2nd, CrisE drops one spot to 3rd. And Richard and Steven move into the top group in 4th and 5th. Sam has a nice lead by 23, but only seven points separate the other four. And twelve others are within 20 points. What a race for the title!

So for the playoff weeks, we only have four games and a tie breaker, which is the total points of all four games combined. REMEMBER YOUR TIE BREAKER.

Two games on Saturday and two games on Sunday. The pick sheet will be out on Thursday.

Happy New Year,

Well so much for Philly being my nine point winner and me getting a decent score this week. The Raiders were just too much and the Eagles barely won the game. Congrats to 1) Dale, 2) CrisE, 3) MikeH, 4) Matt, and Jim and SteveS tying for 5th. Wait... WHAT?... the Raiders WHAT?... lateral... fumble... WHAT?... TOUCHDOWN EAGLES!!!!! They win by nine? You have got to be kidding me right?

Whoa Nellie, Hold the presses, Did anyone get the number on that truck, It ain't over until it's over, UNBELIEVABLE!

I turned off the TV when Philly kicked the field goal and called it a night. Couldn't believe what had happened, but I was happy I got my 9!

At any rate, Dale still took the week with 46 points, his first, 1st place in TWFP and second time cashing in his rookie year. In 2nd place was our resident webmaster and IT guy Steven with 41 points. Nancy gets on the board for the first this year in 3rd with 39. And we had a three way tie for 4th between CrisE, Doodles and MikeH. Honorable mention goes to SteveS with 37.CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

For the overall points, SamK extends his lead by a couple of points to 35, CrisE moves into the top group in 2nd.(take that SteveG) BrianF and Rory drop one spot to 3rd and 4th. And LarryA takes sole possession of 5th. On their heals, Joy is making her move just 4 points off the pace and Todd too. It's going to be fun to watch it play out over the next four weeks.

Okay the last week of the regular season is here and all games will be on Sunday. I will set the spreads and send out the pick sheet on FRIDAY to get us the most accurate lines possible.

Then it's playoff time baby!
