RotB Pick'em 3.0: The Final Week Now!

PrintMandatory Week 16 is in the books and besides pairing down the standings by eight participants, the Week's results reminded us how unpredictable the NFL can be. The Cardinals stole a game from the Cowboys, the Saints gave the Falcons only their second home loss in the Matt Ryan era, and a 6th round rookie QB drafted as a WR beats the Eagles at home on the first Tuesday NFL game in 64 years. What a week!
The standings have been shaken up once more as a result of Week 16's outcomes with StuckinColorado taking the lead going into Mandatory Week 17 where everyone picks the full slate of 16 games. It should be quite a finish as the top eleven positions are all tightly packed. Congratulations go to RotB contributors hevchv and JoeCB1991 for sharing the Week Won Point with their five correct picks. All but six of the final twenty-two remaining participants have taken a piece of the Week Won Point this year with many people having multiple weeks of being the best.

A big "thank you" goes out to all of you that have stuck it out to the very end with Revenge of the Birds, the Cardinals, and RotB Pick'em this year. It's been a rough year on all fronts but your loyalty and contributions are appreciated. Wear your Cardinals gear with pride, I do here in New England!
A really big thank you to those that have participated with Pick'em going back to '08. You know who you are and I hope to see you again for RotB Pick'em 4.0...CBA permitting!
Those of you that missed out or dropped out, RotB Playoff Pick'em starts next week! Start thinking in terms of final scores!

New England (Even if Brady only plays a few possessions)
New Orleans (Home, playoff game effectively)
Atlanta (Panthers stink unless they play the NFC West at home)
Detroit (Four in a row for Lions?!)
Kansas City (Oakland playing for pride but KC playing for momentum)
Pittsburg (Mangini done.)
NYJets (Bills finished well until last week)
Baltimore (Bengals are hoooorible)
Jacksonville (Jags need this and a lot of help)
Philadelphia (Kolb gets some PT)
NYGiants (Giants lose this and Coughlin will get sacked)
San Diego (So much for that December winning streak…)
San Francisco (This series has split since…‘04? ’03?)
Green Bay (Playoffs started two weeks early for Packers)
Indianapolis (Colts actually need to play a game in Week 17 that matters?)
Seattle (Home only…a losing team shouldn’t be in the playoffs, no one from NFC West should go and next best “Wild Card” team should go instead giving the best Wild Card a home game…)
Don't waste time or Time will waste you.
Hassledbyasoreass isn't playing, so I'm switching to the Rams

Kudos to the Rams for finally getting another prime time game.

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team(s), throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.

Your reverse logic last week yielded the same results as normal logic
But you can say with a smile you picked the Vikings to win!
Don't waste time or Time will waste you.
I love that every game in week 17 is a divisional game.

13- Warner, 23- Sandberg, 40- Tillman, 11- Walter
TBru? Pagin TBru, 14 picked games out of 16 will DQ you
And I don’t mean Dairy Queen.
Don't waste time or Time will waste you.
First off, thanks to Hawk for running this. I’m sure it is a lot of work and I really appreciate it.
Second off, how in the world am I in 3rd place without having a single piece of weekly best points?
Hope you all enjoy your New Years. Hopefully the Cards can go out on a high note.

Thank hevchv for prodding me out of my cave
I had been buried with family and work that I completely missed the Preseason Pick’em. Hopefully there’s a CBA in place so we can do this as “normal” next year, otherwise it will be UFL Pick’em starting in August.
Don't waste time or Time will waste you.
this season's winners - the final results after week 17
since I, of course, will hit ALL 16, this will be the final top 5
(may have to adjust, if Thomaldo and alaskancard make picks, and if they copy mine it would set up a 4-way tie for first, with them in it)

If you don't have anything good to say about the Cards this season, you'd be correct.

If this is a perfect week I'll win it all!
It seems like a long time ago that I got two perfect weeks in round 6 and 9. I’ve failed to get a positive record in eight rounds this season so it really will take another perfect round this week for me to deserve the title
Thanks for running the show, Hawkwind!
