Mandatory 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!
