Week 17 results are posted in the Charts area.

Congrats to Mware, TheOwl, and Urgrace for winning the final week of the season. Additional recognition to Urgrace for winning/tying for first in 4 of the last five weeks! Talk about a late season surge! This is also MsOwl's first win, and Mware's second.

Gidget held on to her incredible lead to win the regular season!

Now on to the playoffs!

Congrats to all the top finishers this week.

TheOwl so glad your noble gesture of picking underdogs worked out for you..

Mware you hung in there and pulled it out. Way to go.

Gracie your 4 week run at the top is impressive. Obviously those Texas "genes" know something about football.

Gidget you are amazing. Way to claim the season.

Thank you Vaca, Mamie, Hermie and Wink. It looks very festive in here. I am half expecting someone to dump a tub of gator ade.

Thank you Whoami for a great game. It was a lot of fun. And we are a pretty good group of pickers. Honorable mention to Grace for strong finish. I think if the season was any longer things could have changed on top. A few more weeks and Granny could have gone all the way too.

And after having Lance at my heels half the time I was amazed to see Weiner sneak right in past him.

It was really great fun. I am looking forward to what you come up with for the playoffs.

Also nice finish this week Mware and Owl. I liked Owl's strategy for picking.

OK, I hope the bonus points aren't too confusing. I can't lay claim to the "variance" idea. My "silent partner" came up with the idea and I really like it! I'll probably use the same idea for the regular season next year.

In case it needs explaining....you start off with 20 points. If (for instance) you guess 27 for the final total score, and the actual score is 32, you would get 15 points (20 minus the 5 point variance of your guess to the actual score).

My understanding of "point spread" is by how many points will the winning team win.....for instance, if the score is 27-20, the point spread is 7. If someone has a different understanding/definition of point spread, please let me know. My intention is the "how many points will the winning team win by" idea. I think that is called a point spread.

I made it so the total bonus points won't exceed the amount of points earned in guessing a game right.

As before, the total points you earn will be configured into a score which will reflect the percentage of points you earned against the total available points for the week's games.

If you have any questions, comments or anything, please feel free to chime in! Thanks!
