The results are in and two new leaders have emerged. Check out the Leaderboard page to see who they are.
One of our new leaders had a streak of 13-consecutive correct picks (with the tie excluded) until the Bills lost on yet another infamous “Wide Right.” Our other leader boldly changed one of his picks mid-week and it turned out to be the difference between first and second place.
A forgetful player made history this weekend. By not submitting her picks (second time in three weeks), Ciara was the first to be decimated by the new “No points for not participating” rule. At first, I felt bad. Then I remembered that Mom’s laptop is basically an extension of her fingers and I repeatedly reminded her to get her picks in. No tears will be shed by this contestant. Anyway, she’s gonna have to get used to the basement, she’ll be there for a while. Let’s just hope she doesn’t have asthma. Luckily for E-Train, Ciara’s negligence overshadowed the lowest total we’ve had this year by a player who actually submitted picks.
This truly was a diverse field of scores. A zero, a five, six people in double-figures, and a 13 to claim a share of the lead. And with four players within two points of each other, the final stretch should be an interesting one.
