Week 15. The beginning of the Regular Season’s closing act.
Every ballgame’s importance is magnified with teams jockeying for Playoff positioning. Teams are either trying to get into the tournament, or finishing out the year with an eye on Draft order.
Either way you slice it, these games mean something to each tier of The League.
And in most cases, not only does that make these matchups even more unpredictable, but this point of the year is a lot of fun too.
The beauty of December Football is all of the unforeseen developments.
That squad you thought was through gets hot down the stretch and makes a run into The Postseason.
Or, the team leading the pack all year suddenly falls into the surf. Who knows? As I see it, that’s a major part of the excitement.
In terms of the Pick’Em, the way this year has unfolded, excitement & uncertainty has been the name of the game.
Playoffs or not, the competition has been really strong just about every week. That seems likely to continue down the stretch.
With that being the case — if you are new to our competition, take a look at the tiebreaker format. Odds are, it just might come into play.
Alright. Let’s get to it.
Week 15 has a field of 56 players shooting at a pot of $280.
Pot’s right.
Now, let’s have a look at this week’s field:
FOR THE WEEK
- the pot is $280
- there are 56 players
- The field likes Baltimore as the unanimous picks this week (surprisingly, we haven’t had too many unanimous picks this season – but we shall see).
- The underdog pick this week has Susan M, Ernest A, & Cells taking Chicago to score a major road upset over Minnesota on Monday Night. That’s a bold pick: I like it. Good luck to the three of you!
- the reining Champ is my homegirl Chrissy L, Winning with a one game cushion over the field. Now I’m gonna put her business out there: Chrissy L may be THE BEST PLAYER IN THE FIELD. She has Won every single year of The Pick’Em! If there was a Mount Rushmore for this thing, her face is most definitely on it. Well done Chrissy. (again!)
PLEASE NOTE: while I do my best to get each & every pick correct, sometimes I make mistakes. If I do mess up, just reach out to me (you can leave a comment below the post & I’ll fix it ASAP). I need to know before the affected game Kicks Off, otherwise, that puts the rest of the field at a competitive disadvantage. Sound good?
That’s wraps it up for this week. Enjoy all the games and Good Luck.
