NFL pick em Week 17, Week 16 results and Final results

[cbus]

Get your picks in by Thursday game time and we'll throw out the worst winning percentage week for everyone. The best winning percentage at the end of the 17 game regular season wins. No changes can be made to the picks after Thursday night. If you miss the Thursday deadline you will get the home team for Thursday's game but if you submit by the Sunday games, those will still count. If you miss submitting that week, you will get all home teams.

Tiebreaker- The tiebreaker will be the person that finishes first for the most weeks. If there is a tie in the weekly results then everyone who ties gets credit for 1st place that week (unless you do not submit picks). If it looks like we may need an additional tiebreaker we'll add one later.

Week 17 results- sportsjock wins week 17 for 3rd place overall, galion finishes 2nd and Bellevue Buckeye takes 1st spoiling galion's bid to win the NFL and CFB pick'em in the same year. BB wins 4 weeks and never had a week lower than 7 wins. Nice job Josh! vottruckers wins an outstanding 7 weeks yet finishes 4th. cbus goes from 1st in week 1 to 5th- steady lackluster effort. snownomo picks all home teams the whole year, so I guess that tells us something. Now let's all try and do better in the Playoffs Pick'em

Week 16 vottruckers wins the week with 11 wins -#7 for the season!! bellevue buckeye maintains his lead on galion as both have 9 wins and they had the exact same picks. Uh galion, that's not going to get it done. One more week-time for a Hail Mary.

Just a thought, but if Bellevue Buckeye or galion want to PM me with their picks I will be able to use that as the official entry in case either want to keep the pick secret from the other.

Hey Josh, Is a PM from galion to me confidential or can you see all PMs since you are an administrator?

[BellevueBuckeye]

Yes, PM's are confidential

That's a novel approach.  Can't say it's ever been done like that.
Kinda takes away the competitive intensity in the waning moments, before the deadline.
I can remember being in a standoff going down to the wire and submitting my last picks of the season, watching the clock and seconds tick before the deadline with my finger poised on the 'submit'.....lol

So since the 1st game is Sunday everyone has until game time on Sunday (I assume 1pm) to make their picks.

Some people have odd schedules and can't always time it that well so that's why I gave the option. You can PM me too since you are only a few games behind. With various starters resting, week 17 can have some surprises. Good luck.

I have no objection, it works.
I have no anticipation of miracles happening....lol

Clarification- The results listed above have the removal of everyone's worst week. That is why people have different numbers of total games.

So it looks like BB and galion have 3 differences- Bengals/Ravens, Texans/Titans, Broncos/Raiders. Good Luck. sportsjock has a lot of the same picks so I'm not sure he can catch either.

[BellevueBuckeye]

Thanks for running this cbus.

[vottruckers]

Agreed, thanks for running it. A good time....man win a ton of weeks, still don't win it all....painful.
