Well, we ALL had the wind knocked out of us. How does our resident Niners fan feel??

What? A TIE? In this day and age? To ST. LOUIS??? I am certainly not happy about that. All I have to say is that last year, Akers wouldn't have missed anything. This year, he's been less than brilliant - still good, but, it cost the Niners the game.

Bah humbug.

I'll add my 2 cents to it as well, we are super lucky to get anything out of the game, an 80 yard play wiped off due to an illegal formation, 1 player a foot too far back from the line of scrimmage, wow lucky penalty.

Both sides had chances, both sides threw it away!

Not sure what's wrong with Akers, to miss from there is just horrible!

Neither is anyone else, to be honest. wink After 75 minutes of football, you'd think one of them would have wanted the win, but instead, they played to the first tie in about four years. (Hint: in week 9 of the 2016 comp, tip a tie for one game - you might just hit paydirt lol - the last one was in week 11 of the 2008 comp, one week shy of four years prior)

Two games were picked by only two tippers, and dg_dave jags his third straight weekly win, to put him seven clear of second place. He is breathing a HUGE sigh of relief after Pittsburgh won Monday night, since no one jagged the tie (see above). So many of us were not expecting the Titans to absolutely destroy Miami in Miami, but themonarch and illiniman14 both had their crystal ball going for them, same with dg_dave and wwe84 for the Bengals pick over the defending champs.

KrivoyRog was given default as he only tipped the Indianapolis/Jacksonville game, and was incorrect in it.

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team...6-3 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!)

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

A very high scoring week this week, as we hit paydirt on nearly 7/9 of our tips. The only bad game we had was the Jets winning away. All other games had at least ten correct tips, and eight of the fourteen had 20+!

Lots of bonus points go out this week, all near miss points. All of the 12's are shaking their heads wondering why they didn't get a weekly win this week. Well, that can be explained by gillyharold only missing his Lions to win at home, and George95's pick of the 1-8 Chiefs to beat Cincinnati.

I'm sure LeoDaVinci (who tipped late but gained that point back by tipping 12+) is ecstatic that the Niners won at home without Alex Smith, and it wasn't close!

Default this week was a staggering nine since the Wooden Spoon score was likewise nine, jagged by five tippers, some their first, like BxBarracuda, who fell back off the pace a bit.

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team...7-3 this year. It took OT for them to win, and after trailing 13-0...

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)

Not as high a week this week, but still hit paydirt on 6 of 10 (well, almost!).

The 12's (there were three of us) are all scratching our heads wondering how wwe84 took 13 (he was the only bonus point this week, on near miss picks - must hit 13 on a 16 game schedule).

This week saw quite a few upsets, as six underdogs won, including the Browns over the Steelers (doesn't help when Big Ben is out though and Batch throws 2 INTs).

Several players who missed the Thursday games scored better than BxBarracuda, who took this week's cutlery with only six. PaulE went one better missing the Monday night game as well.

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team...8-3 this year. Doesn't help when they are down 28-3 at halftime! Only four picked this result. The organizer's home team is 5-6, but still oddly in the playoff hunt...? Does the NFC stink that much, outside of Atlanta?

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!)

Surely the AFC is faaar worse than the NFC, I can't believe one of the Steelers/Dolphins/Bengals/Colts will make the playoffs, as well as my Ravens who are pretty bad, cruising in to the playoffs!

Nope, they're 8-3-1. At least it didn't happen again! Only :26 left on the clock this time though before a victor was decided, and it wasn't the 8-2-1 team.

Let me reiterate what I said above, they aren't THAT good!

Maybe St. Louis and San Francisco shouldn't play one another. After Week 10's TIE, they almost played another 75:00 of football, but Greg Zuerlein stopped the clock at 0:26, and much to the dismay of LeoDaVinci, the 49ers are 0-1-1 against them. David Akers missed by less than 6". Only gillyharold had faith in the Rams. Note to self: tip a tie when these two teams play...you might just get a solo pick point! wink

Four weeks to the finish post sees quite a logjam for the minor placings. Paper_aero (who won this week) and George95 are even, and ozfei and illiniman14 are a point back, with PaulE a further two back.

LeoDaVinci posted all but two picks 1 hour and 45 minutes before kickoff, hence the deduction, but with his pick of Seattle, he got it back. My personal feeling, Pete Carroll did well in the collegiate level as a coach, but he is horrid as an NFL coach.

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team...9-3 this year. Philadelphia almost took it away, much to the dismay of doomed, our resident Eagles fan.

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!)

Three weeks left to the finish post and the playoff picture is coming into focus, unlike our comp. Who will take the minor placings? Only time will tell.

Who'd have thought that Arizona would send a high school team to play? Oh wait, it wasn't high school players, but professionals who couldn't seem to hold on to the ball. Eight turnovers? Most high schools have fewer than that!!!! Looks like ozzz2002, wwe84, and doomed need to rethink picking Arizona for next week...

Yes, I posted doomed's picks after the 5pm Thursday deadline, but as he sent them to me via PM in the morning, it counted; it was I had too much going on to post them before that time.

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team...9-4 this year. Just like in the Chiefs situation last week, the team rallied behind a former player.

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!)

I'm not so sure about that the Niners almost gave up a 31 point lead in less than 15 minutes. I honestly don't know who was more impressive/disappointing but it was certainly the best game to watch this season.

A 28-point lead was given up in 15 minutes, sure. The moment Tom Brady started the no-huddle offence (at the end of the third quarter), he was impossible to stop. You are talking about a Hall-of-Fame quarterback here, with years and years of experience and superb accuracy and leadership skills.

You could also say that the Pats gave up 24 unanswered points in 10 minutes (and very nearly it was 35) between the end of the 2nd quarter and the beginning of the third. So, by the same logic, the Pats aren't Super Bowl-bound either?

Lots of bonus points go out this week, as LeoDaVinci and Howie72 each pick up a near miss...Howie72 is probably seething as he scores 13 and doesn't take a win? Gillyharold didn't do as well and took the cutlery.

Even with LeoDaVinci posting late, he picked up that lost point in one of two ways: picking 13+/16 or somehow thinking that a rookie could beat Brady and Co. in Foxboro. Ozzz2002 went with the latter and took that extra point.

Only 32 games separate us from now until BxBarracuda takes us through the postseason. Who will take the podium minors?

I say neither of them are going, but that's only one's opinion. Atlanta and Houston are strong teams; I am well aware that New England beat Houston, but as Atlanta demolished NY, who demolished SF at home...!

We'll see how the comp organizer does against his home team...10-4 this year. It took a bit of OT to decide this one though.

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

Atlanta and NYG have gotta be the most inconsistent good teams in the league, the Giants especially. Atlanta could be 14-0 at this point and still nobody would back them for the Superbowl.
