Better Nate than lever...

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving week. Mine was busy traveling through Texas for six days.

So, last weeks winner was our week one winner also, Todd taking 1st place again with 49 points this time. He also took 1st place in the WCP week last year. Not too bad, three firsts out of the last fourteen weeks!

For 2nd place we had a three way tie between BrianF, JakeFSF and Matt all with 45 points. 5th place consolation was a four way log jam for beer money between Jeremy, Pam, Randi and Rudy, just one point off the pace with 44.

Honorable mentions are in order for Week 10 to Jordan, JoseG, LarryA and SamK and for Week 11 to Antonio, Bill and Romy.

For the overall, SamK held onto 1st for another week, followed by BrainF in 2nd, Rudy in 3rd, Bill in 4th and JakeFSF in 5th.

CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

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-
