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!

Ho Ho Ho and away we go...

Taking 1st place in week 15 was Randi with 49 points. That's her second, first place of the season and third time in the honey. 2nd place went to ChrisM with 47 points, breaking a dry spell for him going back to week 14 of 2016. 3rd place was a tie between Antonio and Jack with 46. And the consolation prize is also a tie for beer money between BrianC and Fast Eddie with 45. Honorable mention went to Jeff and JoseC with 44. CONGRATS TO THE WINNERS!

For the overall race to be the 2017 Champion, SamK keeps his grip on the top spot with a 33 point lead! BrianF moves up to 2nd place. Rory drops one spot to 3rd. Todd moves up into the top group in 4th, and LarryA drops one spot to 5th.

With five weeks to go, everyone in the top 20 still has a shot at the title. For the rest of us, there's still lots of cash to be acquired weekly, you just gotta pick em good.

Two games on tap for today. I'm going with Baltimore for 1, and Minnesota for 2. Get your picks in by game time if you are playing those.

Only two shopping days left until Christmas.

Good luck to you all,
