CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS: JAMEZ1156, AIR JORDAN ADVANCE TO SUPER BOWL

#4 Jamez1156 and #15 Air Jordan both went +3 to eliminate #3 Old School Bandits (+1) and #1 JamieGSteelers (+1) respectively.

#4 Jamez1156 will take on #15 Air Jordan in the Super Bowl.  Both players will take a side and then the over/under (using the total points going over or under the total).  If both players have identical picks, the winner will be determined by the higher seed’s POW meaning the higher seed wins with a POW win or loses with a POW loss.

Here are the results from today:

#1 JamieGSteelers – PHI-POW, CIN = +1

#15 Air Jordan – PHI-POW, KCC=+3

#3 Old School Bandits- SFF, KCC-POW= +1

WEEK 18: JAMIEGSTEELERS WINS REGULAR SEASON CROWN; KLINER69ER WINS WEEK

Week 18 ends with 4 players with +7 and all won their POWs and the MNF pick.  Kliner69er had the closest to the total points and wins the Week 7 prize over Old School Bandits, Starrs and Barry Mcockiner.

JamieGSteelers at +23 wins the regular season title after coming out on top in a back and forth battle with Cool Turban who ends 2022 at +22.  The next 3 spots are determined by the tiebreakers (1st – POW total, 2nd – MNF total, 3rd – Week Won).  Old School Bandits at +20 and 13 POW wins edges Jamez1156 and The Burners who finished with 7 POW wins.  Jamez1156 ends up in 4th place with 12 MNF wins and The Burners ends up in 5th place with 7 MNF wins.

Rounding out the prize money winners is Dilly Dilly at +17 in 6th, Double Deuce at +14 in 7th and Pooooozar at +12 in 8th.  Congratulations to all prize winners.

The playoffs start next week.  #1 JamieGSteelers, #2 Cool Turban, #3 Old School Bandits and #4 Jamez1156 all have a BYE week and automatically end up in the Divisional Playoff round in 2 weeks.

Final Regular Season Standings:

WEEK 17 UPDATE/FINAL: SMELTDIPPER WINS

WEEK 17 UPDATE –
The Bills / Bengals game will not be resumed, thus as stated previously, the week ends as it stands with Smeltdipper winning with a +8.
Everything should proceed as normal with respect to the pool. I know the NFL has made some statements on home field advantages and neutral fields (hopefully Ford Field!!) etc.
 
Week 18 is critical as we have a very tight race at the top and with some of the leaders coming back to the pack a little, it opens it up for a surprise winner.
 
Good luck to all and thank the Good Lord that Damar Hamlin looks like he’s on the road to a full recovery!
The standings remain the same as shown in the previous post.

WEEK 17 UPDATE

No words can describe what we all felt watching last night’s game and I am praying for Damar Hamlin’s speedy and full recovery.  It’s been a little over 24 hours and personally can’t get past everything I witnessed.

At this point, the only thing we know at this point is that the Bills/Bengals game will not be played this week.  There are several players with POWs that have not been decided and I will keep this week open until there is a decision made to what’s going to happen with the game.  If it does not get played, I will end the week as it stands.  I can not think of another option that would be more fair.

If the week ends as it stands, Smeltdipper wins with a +8.   If the game gets played and Buffalo wins, Chark will edge out Smeltdipper for the week.

JamieGSteelers technically has the overall lead with +19 and edges out Cool Turban, also at +19,  by the POW tiebreaker.  The Burners move up to 3rd place at +17 and Jamez1156 comes in at 4th place with +16.

I am going to be putting up the Week 18 lines within the hour.

WEEK 16 – WAR PIGS TAKES WEEK; COOL TURBAN RETAKES OVERALL LEAD

The War Pigs finish Week 16 at +11 to take the weekly prize.

Cool Turban at +24 retakes the season lead over JamieGSteelers at +21.  Dilly Dilly jumps up to 3rd at +16.  The Old School Bandits and Jamez1156 are at +15.

As we approach season end, the playoffs will start Wild Card Weekend.  The top 4 finishers get a Bye.  Players who end up in 5th place – 20th place (and any player who have the same score as the 20th place player) are eligible to participate into a one week contest.  The top 4 players from Wild Card Weekend will move on to play individual matchups against the top 4 finishers.  Matchups will be based on regular season seeding.  All ties in the playoffs are settled in this order:  POW and then Regular Season finish.

Here are the current standings are Week 16:
