[Genester]

TC, did you really want us to use just 4 tie-breaker picks, or was that just for illustration purposes? We would have a higher chance of ensuring a single winner if we go with 10+ tie-breakers. Just a thought...

Hmmm.. Just four, please. Anyone that gets 21 correct winners, deserves to be champion or co-champion. Four tie-breakers is enough. After four, we will ignore all others.TC

Are the tie breakers the same as our regular pick in the fact that I can still only pick a team once? Or can I select any winner? Just don't want to screw this up.

Thanks

We may only use any team once per season. You can not repeat teams at any time.

My choices are pretty much already made for me based on what teams I have left. Just a matter of prioritizing. I'll go with:

Week 17 - NYJ (I don't think Cincy will make any effort at all)

Tiebreaker #1 - DEN (the Marshall soap opera worries me a little)

Tiebreaker #2 - CAR (I think NO will be sitting starters early)

Tiebreaker #3 - CHI (playing Detroit is always worth a couple of TDs)

Tiebreaker #4 - CLE (hard to believe I would risk the SP championship on the Browns, isn't it?)

With most early games in or approaching the 4th quarter, only 9 of us have no teams currently losing (though Dragon has ATL, tied).

Of those 9, 4 have SF (ahead by less than a TD) at some point on their list, 5 do not.

Its a lot of IFs, but

IF cincy beats the Jets and IF SD and Denver win (my first two), I clinch at least a tie with NumNums.

NumNums had JAX.

yeah he has them in the same slot where I have the Jets.

 

[CrossEyed]

So does the order of the tiebreakers determine the winner(s) or the total # correctly picked?

Of course this is a moot point if we have folks who get all 5.

 

[Genester]

Looks to me like its down to Neil Beufo and Don't Noo **IF** the Jets win. Well done, guys.

Order. They are each tiebreakers.

By a quick, unofficial look. Several teams - cheese, Deuceman, Dragon19, NumNums, packfan482- tie if the Jets lose. Congrats to whoever made it this far and wins. Thanks for running it TC, it was fun.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Congrats to Don't Noonan and Neil Beaufort Zod - it looks like they are the two who went 5 for 5 (unofficially of course as TC is the maestro).

Props to Deuce, Couch Potato and Genester for getting 3.

Pretty amazing for 7 out of 19 to get 0 in the last week I like that. Denver strikes again!

Thanks for all the fun, TC!

Honors to both Don't Noonan and Neil Beaufort Zod for having best entires. A final contest report will be posted Monday evening, when we publicly praise both gents.

 

[CrossEyed]

Congrats to the winners.

Pretty happy to go 17 for 17 and get 3 out of the 4 tiebreakers. I should have known Denver would be a mess this week.

ETA: And thanks TC, this is always a lot of fun. Appreciate all your hard work.

 

[TC]

We have a winner.

Better yet, we have twelve winners and co-champions to our annual survivor contest.

12 entries correctly named a NFL winner for 17 stright weeks, without duplicating a selection. Addittionaly, the 12 gave week 17 tiebreakers to decide the contest champion. Our humble congratulations to each of you and our co-champions; Don't Noonan and Neil Beufort Zod.

Well done!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also, we will have new tie breaker next season. It will be based on the opponents' success. As an example, If you selected a win over the Lions you would earn 2 tiebreaker points - 1 point ser win. If you selected against the Steelers, you would have earned 9 tie breaker points. I look forward to this change.
