[Everlong]

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

I continue my tumble down the rankings, while @The Legend reigns supreme for a second week. Can he hold on for the rest of the year to get his first ever picks championship? Meanwhile, @BSM and @Str8Shooter are not far behind.

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

@The Legend slips a bit, but keeps a tenuous hold on the top spot despite a great week by @DBSoT, who surged up the list to second place. @HFX went up a few spots, drawing himself out of the basement. Plenty of opportunity for people to take this in the final weeks.

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

Not a whole lot of movement in the standings this week. Nobody's having a particularly great season, but that makes things a whole lot more interesting as we approach the end of the season!

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

For the first time in weeks, we have a new leader in @DBSoT. After a really rough start to the season, he's got the top spot after an outstanding week. Three weeks left to go. Who's got it?

[DBSoT]

Well this was unexpected.

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

@DBSoT remains at the top with @The Legend in second, but @xgamr and @emperorwu had big jumps this week to put themselves in position to make a late-season run. Meanwhile, @Messiah's penchant for picking big upsets cost him this week, and he slid to last place.

[Everlong]

Updated!

@BSM has had two no shows in a row. Don't forget to pick, man! @DBSoT keeps a tight hold on first, with @CMPUNKFAN and @xgamr gaining ground, and @The Legend stumbling late after holding the lead for much of the season. But there's still one omre week, plus the playoffs and bonus points to go, so anything can happen.

Week 17 picks probably won't be up until tomorrow, but fortunately there are NO Thursday, Saturday or Monday games this week. Everyone's on Sunday!

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

@BSM is one miss away from elimination... come back man! @DBSoT maintains a very tenuous hold on first, but @CMPUNKFAN and @EmperorWu have stormed up the rankings after a solid few weeks and are within striking distance. Meanwhile, @The Legend continues his fall down the rankings, and @Messiah had an awful week that saw him drop down to last place.

Now we begin the playoffs!

[The Legend]

@Everlong

Can we get a standings update over the last couple of weeks and with some of the bonus points that we know as well?

I mentioned in the conference championships thread that I'm going to provide a full update of where everything stands once this weekend's games are over.

[Everlong]

Standings updated!

First, here's how you all fared trhoughout the playoffs:

Everlong: 15-5
Emperorwu: 15-5
DBSoT: 18-4
The Legend: 20-4
BSM: 23-3
Str8Shooter: 28-2
CMPUNKFAN: 27-4
JDD: 30-3
Xgamr: 15-5
RatedRBowler: 17-5
HFX: 12-6

A couple really great finishes in there, but an awful championship round for everyone but @JDD really meant a lot of people missed out on a chance to stake their claim to the title.

We have a new leader, @CMPUNKFAN, with only Super Bowl picks and presesason predictions left to be tallied. Remember, that's a lot of potential free points, so with how close things are, there could still be a major shakeup.

Almost there!

[The Legend]

So I took the liberty of doing some unofficial tallying of the preseason picks and it looks like heading into the Super Bowl CMPUNKFAN holds an extremely narrow margin over BSM, With myself and Wu in a virtual tie for third place, with DBSOT in fifth.

[Everlong]

^Picking the Broncos as AFC champs?

You gots some balls sir.

Woops

Year long picks results:

BSM: 32
The Legend: 28
Xgamr: 28
EmperorWu: 26
Messiah: 25 (only person to pick a Super Bowl team!)
CMPUNKFAN: 24
RatedRBowler: 22
HFX: 20
JDD: 20
Everlong: 18
Str8Shooter: 18
DBSoT: 18

The final standings are tallied in the first post. Despite a late surge from @EmperorWu, @CMPUNKFAN managed to hold off and capture his very first NFL Picks Challenge! @DBSoT rounded out our top 3. Meanwhile, I had my lowest finish of all time... ouch.

Thanks everyone for taking part this year!!

[The Legend]

Damn. I was right up in the running until Conference Championship weekend. Then it all went to shit.

[CMPUNKFAN]

Can't believe I won!!! I was way behind and finally went on a roll.

[DBSoT]

Well, I at least had the best record in the regular season. Hey look everybody, I am Peyton Manning during most of his career!!

Eagles signed Sam Bradford to a two year, 36 mil deal with 26 mil guaranteed.

@Everlong, Was your post meant to go into the NFL off-season moves thread?
