Good morning!

1. Once again, @Datawire takes the week and the power point with 12 correct picks in week 12.

2. @Raleigh PF and @FakePlasticTrees come in right behind him with 11 correct picks.

3. In a four-way tie for third, we have myself, @Mr. Scot, @grimesgoat, and @bigdavis with 10 correct picks.

4. @MHS831, @CRA, @Wyank, and @Cracka McNasty all scored 9 correct picks.

5. @Khyber53 brought home 8 correct picks.

6. Pendleton the Parrot had a rough week scoring only 6 picks. We all beat the bird this week.

7. ...except for @Boxhead85, who logged no picks.

I'll have this week's games posted shortly.

As a reminder, double check your picks each week. Last week, we had another set of picks that didn't pick the winner in one game.

Good luck all!

You know what that bird's actually doing right? :thinking:

It's a little known fact, birds flying between the earth and sky are associates or messengers of deities. In this particular instance the bird is portraying an ancient dance personifying one of the twelve deity's of victory and success.

Uh huh...

I have a couple that are mates. I've seen them "dance for the deity" every once in a while too :poison:

FYI in the coming weeks, I'll accept pick changes up to an hour in advance of kickoff times. If you need to make a change in your picks, post it as its own post in the thread rather than edit your original pick post.

Thanks!

Get those picks in! Busy football day tomorrow.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
