Not only does ozzz2002 pick the red herring of Tennessee beating Baltimore, he (and five others) take a near miss bonus point.

Apologies to Terry and ozfei for missing their tips.

Only one favored team was beaten at home this week (Tampa Bay over Minnesota), and only three underdogs won overall.

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team throughout the season...he is 2-0 this year.

Just a reminder: if you only pick one underdog, you are ineligible for bonus points, and I know exactly how many are picked.

Any inactive tippers who tip and are below 2nd last, their score will jump to 2nd last, however, if they are above 2nd last, they will not lose points to fall to 2nd last (or the lowest active tipper)

Until next week, everyone, score a touchdown! (...and kick a P.A.T. too!)

Quite a bit of movement and a new name at the top of the heap. If the season were to have ended yesterday, we'd have our 12th different winner.

LeoDaVinci forgot to tip, and since both the default and Wooden Spoon score were six, he picked up six points. If George95 had picked one more, Leo would have gained seven as well, since it is the higher of Wooden Spoon or six.

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team throughout the season...he is 2-1 this year, the same as his home team.

Just a reminder: if you only pick one underdog, you are ineligible for bonus points, and I know exactly how many are picked. This happened to Dizart this week (sole underdog was the Jets).

Any inactive tippers who tip and are below 2nd last, their score will jump to 2nd last, however, if they are above 2nd last, they will not lose points to fall to 2nd last (or the lowest active tipper)

Until next week, everyone, score a touchdown! (...and kick a P.A.T. too!)

Gtho4 has to be scratching his head wondering how he didn't get a weekly win scoring 14/16, but dg_dave gets himself enshrined into the near miss Hall of Fame with an impressive 15/16, and three bonus points (two for upsets and another for near miss) to score a big 18 this week. Spoon honors go to ozzz2002; the sole tipper to score less than 50%.

Plenty of double digit scores this week overall, and that is the reason for the near 70% strike rate...well done by all.

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team throughout the season...he is 3-1 this year, better than his home team, who melted down in the second half against the 4-0 Lions. Wasn't that the same team that went 0-16 in 2008? It wasn't the only meltdown as LDV's 49ers came back and kicked an extra point victory over the Eagles on the road. The Niners may be a force to be reckoned with this year, much to the delight of LDV.

Just a reminder: if you only pick one underdog, you are ineligible for bonus points, and I know exactly how many are picked.

Any inactive tippers who tip and are below 2nd last, their score will jump to 2nd last, however, if they are above 2nd last, they will not lose points to fall to 2nd last (or the lowest active tipper)

Until next week, everyone, score a touchdown! (...and kick a P.A.T. too!)

Who decides which teams are underdogs?
How do we know who the underdogs are?
What factors are used to decide the underdog? Road team, injured running back, blind QB, defense coach having an affair with offense coach's daughter?

Only two double digit scores this week, and they both go to the Hall of Fame winners of the week. Both ozfei and N-Bomb score a big ten for their efforts, while BxBarracuda only gets half that, with five.

No one picked the Seahawks to oust the Giants at the New Meadowlands...could have been bonus points for someone...maybe next time, right?

Another solid week tipping by everyone. So far, we have managed to tip over 60% for the first five weeks.

No one defaulted this week, but if one had, they'd have scored six since it was the higher of six or Spoon score, which was five.

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team throughout the season...he is 3-1 this year, better than his home team, who didn't play this week.

Just a reminder: if you only pick one underdog, you are ineligible for bonus points, and I know exactly how many are picked.

Any inactive tippers who tip and are below 2nd last, their score will jump to 2nd last, however, if they are above 2nd last, they will not lose points to fall to 2nd last (or the lowest active tipper)

Until next week, everyone, score a touchdown! (...and kick a P.A.T. too!)

If the spread is PK the favorite for the tipping comp will be the team on the left, on that page.

The 49ers demolished the Bucs. Deserves a mention in my books...

Yes, thank goodness for Frank Gore and Vernon Davis. They helped my fantasy team!

N-Bomb lost two bonus picks this week, one for the upset pick of Philadelphia and the other for tipping 12/13. His only underdog pick was San Francisco over Detroit. Other bonus points went to toocool4u (2), ozzz2002, and KrivoyRog.

There are two atop the leaderboard this week, and one of them has never won the NFL comp...we have a decent chance of having our 12th different winner and no repeats.

Another solid week tipping by everyone. So far, we have managed to tip over 60% for the first six weeks. Is the NFL just that predictable this year?

Only paper_aero defaulted this week, and scored six since it was the higher of six or Spoon score, which was five.

LeoDaVinci should be happy, his 49ers knocked off the 5-0 Lions...on the road!

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team throughout the season...he is 4-1 this year, 2 games better than his home team (2-3).

Just a reminder: if you only pick one underdog, you are ineligible for bonus points, and I know exactly how many are picked.

Any inactive tippers who tip and are below 2nd last, their score will jump to 2nd last, however, if they are above 2nd last, they will not lose points to fall to 2nd last (or the lowest active tipper)

Until next week, everyone, score a touchdown! (...and kick a P.A.T. too!)
