Looks like Elvis and deiter were comparing notes for last weeks pick sheet. ;)

Yeah the "neutral score" is a often a gift. Although, If it ends up an odd total number of games say 15 which it usually does. The neutral score is always the least favorable eg 7-8.

I think this is the only football game I've ever joined where I can spend 10 emotional minutes picking, and then either go way up, or way down.

Little roller coaster this one is.

Looks like RamsFanSince82 has a pretty commanding lead going in to the final weekend. Always a tough week to pick not knowing who is going to max effort and who is going to mail it in.
3 game lead of RedAlice and 5 over a host of players

Been a fun year although donating my Rams pick each week has clearly come back to haunt me....

82 is killing it!! But, not quite so far ahead that bunches of us can't get the lead (or fall behind) over the play-offs - it's pretty much a close game right now. The whole list could shuffle after this week.

And, I'm with you on that one dieter - I refuse to ever pick against the Rams. In general, I also don't pick them to win in games, but obviously we have to in this game.

Yeah, plus we don't know how teams are going to approach playing starters vs. treating it like a pre-season game...Teams going to the playoffs don't want to expose key players to injury and teams not in playoffs will want to protect starters too in lieu of scouting depth of their rosters. If I am a new coach coming in I am looking at these games closely for players that "mail it in" and flagging them for next years roster. Britt and Quick both looked liked they mailed it in to me last week.

Yeah my rule is to always pick against the Rams. I would absolutely never bet money on them. Under Linehan and Spags they were just horrible no matter what the opposition was. Under Fisher they pretty much tanked in every game they were supposed to win or cover, and beat teams straight up that they were heavy underdogs against at least a couple times a season.

Hopefully, that's all about to change. I'm going to keep picking against them until it does though...

It was a terrible week for me! I need the Packers to win by 4+ points stay in first place over @RedAlice.
