Week 15. The beginning of the Regular Season’s closing act.
Every ballgame’s importance is magnified, with teams jockeying for Playoff positioning, to get into the tournament, or finishing out the year with an eye on Draft order.
Either way you slice it, these games do mean something to each strata of The League.
And in most cases, not only does that make these matchups even more unpredictable, this point of the year is a lot of fun too.
The beauty of December Football is 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 surprisingly falls into the surf. Who knows what to expect? And 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 35 players shooting at a pot of $175.
Pot’s right.
Now, let’s have a look at this week’s field:
FOR THE WEEK
- the pot is $175
- there are 35 players
- The field likes both Arizona & Tampa Bay as the unanimous picks this week (for the year, the unanimous picks haven’t worked out too well – we shall see with these two).
- The underdog pick this week has Susan F taking Carolina to score a major road upset over Buffalo. That’s a bold pick: I like it. Good luck1
- the reining Champ is my man Will B, Winning in a four-way tie with a bold Monday Night pick that paid off. What’s more, he only dropped ONE GAME in Week 14. Way to go Will!
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.
