I'd love to join, but the whole process of signing up is a HUGE turnoff for someone who is incredibly lazy such as myself.....

I'll probably do it before the year is up lol.

Something went wrong with Tromadz this week. Used the wrong symbol to pick the teams or something.
Tromadz 1-13
Yooper, Arrow and Cheesehog all went 11-3.
Some person picked the Raiders at home against the 49'ers so they were
13-1 for the week.

Year to date there is good competion with
yooperfan and Cheesehog tied for 2nd.
arrowgargantuan is 2 picks back for 3rd.

Well it was a tough week for everyone.
CHEESEHOG has move into first place with an overall record of
60-27.

At least I am 1716 places ahead of Cris Carter, 1717 places ahead of Chris Collinsworth, 6215 places ahead of Bob Costas, and 8361 places ahead of Dan Marino.

Keep trying we can't let CHEESEHOG win like last year.

I picked against all the teams that were ahead of The Pack, all went just right except the fact The Pack forgot to win, oh well now that you all know my strategy, I guess i will never win again.

For the year

CaliforniaCheez 164 - 92 64.06% correct guessing
Cris Carter 154 - 102
CHEESEHOG 154 - 102 60.16% of the time correct. No host beat him.
Bob Costas 150 - 106
Dan Marino 148 - 108

yooperfan 145 - 95
tromadz 137 - 119

California Cheez had his best year finishing 223rd place out of 56501, which beat 99.99% of the participants. His best year ever.

Last year's board winner CHEESEHOG was not beaten by any of the Hosts.
After all the goal is to be better than the people that host the program.

Thanks to all who participated and made it a fun contest.
