* To keep things simpler (I need that) tie games will not be recorded in the standings.

Please check your point scores for accuracy. There may be mistakes in the above calculations. If there are any discrepancies in scoring requiring correction please let me know. I will forward them to the accounting firm of Pleasant, Funt & O'Farrell (PFO) who will audit your request. They really will.

The Rules

Guess the score of each team for each game...
Each game you pick the correct winner of: 5 points
If you pick correctly on at least half the games scheduled for the week earns a 20 points bonusl
If you pick correctly on at least 75% of the games earns a 40 point bonus (plus the previous 20 points).
If you get all but one of the games correct nets 100 bonus points (plus the 20 & 40 from above)
Guess right on all the games and enjoy an additional 150 points (plus the previous 20, 40 & 100)
If you pick a game score in which you pick the winner and the correct margin of victory, you will get 25 bonus points. We'll call this a spread bingo or a mini bingo.
And ..... If you guess the correct winner and score of any game: 125 bonus points tacked on for each correct game. (You will not receive the 25 spread bonus with a Bingo) This is known as a score Bingo.
If you've got incredibly mad skills and happen to guess every correct score of every game: you get a mega jackpot of 5000 points (Lotsa luck with that one.)
At the end of the regular season the player, or players with the most correct picks over the regular season will receive 180 bonus points, or a split of that amount. In the event of a points tie the win is awarded to the player with the most correct picks.

All are welcome to play, and good luck to all!

If the Rams do not have enough problems their new replacement kicker tore his ACL. So they are back in the market. Wonder if Lucas is interested.

If both KC and SF win on the road their path to the SB gets smoother even though this is only WK 7. Buffalo and Denver are in the AFC mix. But who else in the NFC? Vikings? Bears?

If signed to PS & elevated for up to 3 weeks he'd make $13,750/week ... gotta be more than kicking balls at the local HS to stay sharp.

Havrisik was a Ram back in '23 so they're already familiar with each other.

Think the Pats could pull off an upset?

Euro game in Parc de Princes, St. Germain. It's a region in Paris. I attended a soccer friendly game there between Spain's national team and the French national team. Very expensive area of Paris, quite old in most areas, and lots of sidewalk cafes. The stadium isn't huge but there isn't really a bad seat in the house even though you're a tad further away from the field than you'd like. For soccer it's fine. I think it's under 50,000 seats but not certain. I sat about 10 rows back around what would be about the 15-yard line.

What is the chance the current social unrest in that part of the world causes headaches for the league and possibly a different venue?

What is the chance the current social unrest in that part of the world causes headaches for the league and possibly a different venue?

Good question. The one thing that seems to draw them all together in a European nation is soccer. No matter what their differences, they lay down the boxing gloves and cheer for their national or local favorites. Whether or not this will happen, I don't know, it isn't soccer.

As an example. Several years ago, French farmers were blocking the highways and stopping the flow of milk and other dairy products from being brought in from France saying it made the French production uncompetitive. They were actually supported by a political group that was fighting for stopping all restrictions on the distribution and sale of all French products throughout all of Europe. The complete opposite cause. It's pretty much all coalitions and they make strange bed fellows. In 10 years, at the most, the pendulum will swing the opposite direction. It always does.
