Our Pick'em League Keeps on Living

A few years ago we started picking the winner of each football game on this very site Game Of Inches. We started doing this before there were other websites that allowed us to do more of an automated system than manually tracking each game by hand like we did on the blog. So we moved to do this format and with that, stopped posting updates on the blog. So we will be posting an update mid season (now) and then at the end of the season so you can see how the three of us did in Adam Kaplan, TBO, and myself (Cubsfan4evr).

This year we added a new wrinkle compared to how we have played for the last several seasons. Were playing against the spread for the first time. This was Adam's idea and TBO has embraced it. To put it simply, I am still adjusting and like the old style. I like picking games straight up and none of this fancy stuff.

With Ten weeks in the books this is how the standing look:

TBO and myself are tied for first with Adam slightly behind us.  Superdup is also known as TBO.

I should point out in that in week six I had a really bad week and couldn't seem to pick a game correct against the spread.

Also, TBO forgot to fill out most of his picks last week for week Ten. He only filled out two picks (Thursday night and Sunday) and got both correct.

Here is how we did with the number of selections we got correct broken down by week:

Even with Cubsfan4evr bad week in week six and TBO bad week in week 10 because he forgot to fill out most of his picks were hanging in there. We will have a final update after the season with how we did.

Game Of Inches Football Results: Week Seventeen

I am still under the contention that Week 17 should not count for the Pigskin Pick 'Em contest. This is a week in which you don't know who's starting, for how long, and this week has gotta be awful for Vegas. Ef this week. I vote that this week should not count for next year. But nevertheless I, Sexy Rexy, won the contest this year after coming in last place last year.

Pigskin Pick 'Em

1) Sexy Rexy
Overall: 169-87
Last Week: 12-4

2) The 'Bright' One
Overall: 167-89
Last Week: 12-4

3) Cubsfan4evr1
Overall: 151-105
Last Week: 11-5

No clutch games or WTF games this week because of the nature of Week 17. And helps further my point of why we should not count this week. Ironically, this was one of all three of our best weeks this season.

Fan Fact: The 'Bright' One (including leading ties as a win) won the most weeks with 10. Sexy Rexy won 8, Cubsfan4erv1 won 4.

Game Of Inches Football Results: Week Sixteen

1) Sexy Rexy
Overall: 157-83
Last Week: 9-7

2) The 'Bright' One

3) Cubsfan4evr1
Overall: 140-100
Last Week: 8-8

WTF Games: Tennessee over Kansas City, Seattle over Tampa Bay

I'm going to claim that I won this contest no matter what happens in Week 17. Let's be honest, there's a reason most fantasy leagues have their championship game in Week 16. Teams rest their players and the outcome of most of these games don't matter to a lot of teams. Picking Week 17 games is like picking pre season games.

Therefore, congratulations to Sexy Rexy on the wonderful win.
