[Archives] Week 7: The Field Is Set

Time for some football!

This post is going out late because of all things…my laptop crashed!

I blame Ice Cube, because that’s what I was listening to when it happened.

What can I tell ya?  I’m a sucker for the oldies (dammit time flies!).

Anyways.

You don’t care about my taste in music; you’re here to find out who’s in, so let’s get to that.

We’ve got an interesting week shaping up – no London game & six teams are on a Bye.

That leaves us with 13 games this week (out of a max of 16).  It’s the thinnest Football week of the season.  If anything, a lighter schedule will make the Pick’Em more competitive!

So…for the week we’ve got 37 players shooting at a pot of $185.

Pot’s right.

Here is the field for Week 7:

 

FOR THE WEEK

  • the pot is $185
  • there are 37 players
  • The unanimous pick this week has the field taking Arizona over visiting Houston, which probably means that game will be an upset.  I dismissively underestimated underdog NYJ last time & it bit me!
  • The underdog picks this week’s have Sean M picking Detroit to upset heavily favored LAR, and Vernessa R like the NYJ as a road underdog to upset Division Rival New England.
  • the reining Champ is Thelma C, who narrowly missed out on a perfect week.  She nailed 13 of the 14 game slate in Week 6 (missing perfection by a Turnover on Downs at the edge of the Goal Line.  Talk about close!)

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?

There you have it friends.  Enjoy the action & Good Luck.
