Week Seventeen

"First time I've ever picked the Bengals." --Jenks~C (RIP)

No matter how crazy a season becomes, the Bengals can still be the Bungles, just when a lot of people are counting on them to rise up. Well, get back down there, Bengals. Your day has not yet come.

"[gulp]" Pick: Minnesota--White~Twins

Amidst the carnage of the Bengals' playoff hopes, the Vikings' playoff hopes, and the Rams' self-respect, 25 hits were leveled on the remaining pool contestants. That's nearly 2 out of every 3. No one ever said Week 17 would be easy.

Heading into the playoffs, this is how we look:
01 LOSS -- 4 Leaders
02 LOSS -- 19 Followers
03 LOSS -- 368 Eligible for the 2nd-Chance Pool

Rules for everybody, first- and second-chancers alike:

  • Picks are due by Friday at noon. Very important.
  • You can pick Saturday games during the playoffs.
  • You start the playoffs with a "clean slate" of available teams, regardless of who you picked during the regular season.
  • You can not repeat a pick throughout the playoffs.

As you know, you keep the same number of losses as we enter the playoffs in the big pool. Over in the 2nd-Chance pool, it's one loss and you're out. Tie-breaker submissions will be accepted prior to the Championship weekend.

The Ducey~A pick will be made by midnight Thursday and posted on the board. The Ducey~E pick will have to wait until Friday morning, unfortunately, since Ducey~E is not available until then.
