Congratulations to steel1man for continuing the totals lead for all fourteen weeks!
Congratulations to steel1man for 12 correct when the median was 7.
105 total correct = 50% - what does that tell you?

Steel you are making this tough! Way to go on 12!
 
"105 total correct = 50% - what does that tell you?"

Well, (1) there are n=18 players, a very small sample. (2) Most of our games are virtually 50-50 odds (I think the data says that if the point spread is 9 or less, it's virtually even). (3) The points force games to be 50-50 odds. I like this plan because having cupcake games doesn't differentiate between the players. If you accept the fact that our games are virtually 50-50, as n goes to infinity, we should get exactly 50% correct. That is, unless one allows his/her team loyalty to defy the odds.

Congratulations to steel1man!

Congratulations to steel1man!

Don't remember any one person being on top every week for the entire length of the pick'em except this year, that is since I've been playing. Congrats to Steel1man! I've tried to catch him, ha ha. Just too tough. Congrats to Carson also. I shouldn't feel too bad with me sitting in 3rd place right now. Will be interested to see how good Steel1man is at picking the bowl games.
