A Saints win on Monday night forced a four-way tie for the lead in Week 12. Going into Sunday night’s Colts/Chargers game, Joe was the front-runner and had a chance to reclaim the overall lead. But two incorrect picks in the last two games allowed Matt and me to maintain our place at the top.
In less important news, Dad’s 11 – combined with a rather meager 9 from Mom – put the Rockaway Goingsteady’s in a tie for fifth place. Dad’s inching closer to his secret hope of not being beat by a girl.
Ciara attempted to shake things up this week by picking all the underdogs. After a having a rough go-of-it the past few weeks, she apparently decided to pull a George Costanza: “If every instinct I’ve ever had was wrong, the opposite would have to be right.” Her plan backfired and she got five right. Further into the basement she descends. That de-humidifier must be really annoying at this point.
Ties abounded this week: A four-way tie for the lead. A three-way tie for second. A tie at the top of the leaderboard. A tie for fifth. A tie for the worst finish by a player who sent in picks. Ties, ties, and more ties. How boring.
