Games are based on the weekly spread. Your lowest score is dropped because most people forget to make picks at least once during the season.

[fantastic flying froggies]

Man I suck at this.

Of course, I just discovered this week that we were playing against the spread. The first 2 weeks, I was just picking straight winners. :redface:

[samifan24]

I think it makes more sense just to pick winners anyway. I never gamble and don't understand the spread anyway.

For all those that didn't get all their picks in. I changed the setting so that you have until 5 minutes before kickoff to select the winner.

Vic's Heroes hold a 3 pick overall lead over Werewolf Junkie with 5 others within 10.

There are 4 within 5 picks of Vic's Heroes in the group total which takes into account the dropping of the lowest score.

[MikeVic]

Sweet, hang in there Heroes!

[RendeR]

I'm clinging to a top 10 position, hopefully I can stay there.

The overall race comes down to three entries with Vic's Heroes edging out Travis and Werewolf Junkie by 3 picks heading into tomorrow.

AlCzervik is 1 back in the group standings with Travis 2 back behind Vic's Heroes.

[hoopsguy]

Werewolf Junkie (me) did not get an entry in this week, so good luck to the others competing for the title.
