Week 17 Review...yet another Push

We've been betting NFL exclusively for the last 3 weeks and all 3 have ended in a push, so we'll have one more week to decide this thing. Not only will Week 18 be worth $200, but it will also decide the overall champion. Here are a couple of things to consider for this week:

1) We will use MNF total points as a tiebreaker for the $200 portion of the pool for the weekly prize...so please send me a total points number with your picks for this week.

2) Any ties that happen for the overall crown will be split down the middle. There is a total of $450 for 1st and 2nd place, so a first place tie would just split that pot.

Here are the final results from this week:

MS 60 180 25.0%

SS and TN are tied for the overall lead going into the final week. CP is 3 back, MR is 4 back, GR/JH are 5 back. While the odds aren't good that you will make up 4-5 games in one week, anything is possible. I'm thinking it's probably a 2 man race right now, but if one or both of them lay a 3-7 then the door could be open.

6-way tie for 1st with 6 points. Here's the list for today:
 
WMU-PUR (-2.5)
Only 3 guys today on WMU (JR, RO, GT) and 13 on PUR. WMU has a better offense and a bad D, so I'm expecting a shootout.
 
LOU-NCST (-2.5)
8 on LOU and 8 on NCST...the 6 leaders favor NCST 4 to 2. It sounds like it could be a sloppy mess at this game tonight, so I think that favors a defense/running team like LOU. Plus I haven't been that impressed with NCST all year, so I picked against them.
 
 
Good Luck - Week 18 Lines coming soon.
