Only way to make a move now is to bet some underdogs... would have been a good day to do it.

Had a great first half but got smoked in every late game including two best (not) bets.

Thanks. Well, I did it! 16-0! Can someone tell me how much $$$ I would have won if I had played a "card" and got them all right? Of course if I had actually placed bets I would have overthunk it all and lost all my cash... :uhuh:

My tiebreaker #'s were off. Guessed 44 points they scored 49 so I am guessing no bonus.

I had NO but flipped it to Atlanta last minute. Ryan had not lost at home. You have hung in there well Ross.

Just made my picks for the final week. Always tough to pick week 17 due to so many teams who have nothing to play for, resting players and such. Tight enough at the top that things could flip significantly this week. Best bets are the key to ultimate victory. Good luck guys...
