Which game would you have picked to be Sunday Night football week 17?







Rules:

1. Pick who you think is going to win each week. Please try to keep it in the order I have it in. I will be using ESPN to pull the game order this year, which is what I believe the other league uses.

2. You may have up to three LOCK's each week. These are your primary tiebreaker. If you use more than 3 locks only your first 3 locks will count. SUPER LOCKS, however, will always count as the first lock, regardless of order.

3. Picks must be made within 5 minutes of start time

4. Don't delete your post. Editing is fine as long as it's done by the deadline for each game

5. Correct locks earn you 10 tiebreaker points, incorrect locks are worth-10. If you don't make picks you earn -50 points.

6. Super locks may be used on the game of the week. Get it right for +20 or wrong for -20. Just put SUPER LOCK next to the game of the week. You may also use a regular lock on this game instead. Just omit the word 'SUPER"

7. Once during the season you may LOCK ALL. Just say LOCK ALL in your post, and you will lock every game. Each correct is worth +10, and each wrong is worth -10 (for up to +160 points in a 16 game week)

8. The player(s) who correctly lock every team (minus any teams that go winless) at least once will gain +320 tiebreaker points. If nobody manages to do this, then whoever correctly locks the most teams will get a bonus of +160 tiebreaker points

9. In some weeks (but not necessarily all) there will be a TRIPLE THREAT of games. If you get all three right, you earn 60 tiebreaker points, but if you get just ONE (or more) wrong, you lose 30 tiebreaker points. Any you get right will still be counted among teams locked correctly. Simply put TRIPLE THREAT instead of LOCK for the games you are choosing to use it.

10. I reserve the right to remove any player from the player list if they've missed picking at least 28 games.

11. Ties count as Ties unless you didn't pick, then they count as a loss.

12. I'll accept picks from other leagues, but limit it to one source. Picks from other sources must be submitted to me by Monday at 5:00 PM.

Congrats to crazyisgood for having the best week this week at 13-3! Good job!

MK going for the hail mary locks means I can't finish with the most successful locks, but we can still tie if I go with the Jets, Panthers and Footies and at least the latter two win and the Jags also lose. But since I'm in 12th place and unable to afford those losses, that would be an incredibly foolish decision to make...

Well you could use your LOCK ALL if you really wanted to. Also, top 14 make the playoffs. Which gives you a tiny bit of breathing room.

If I was just trying to get into the playoffs with the tiebreaker points I'd use the lock all, but actively trying to lock every team just for the sake of doing so makes it feel kind of like cheating.

Change to Dolphins

Screw it I've been sure of this pick for 3 weeks, let's end it picking what I believe. My faith in this is so much higher than it was in the Titans last week.

I should be sleeping.

I avoided the one game I didn't want for a change (Rams @ Seahawks, I have no faith in either team to do anything meaningful), though I'm working during my game.

It's an easy pick (all the AFC games are), so I guess it'll go down to the always fun tiebreakers.
