Let's try this again.

Grog's Pick'em 2021 picks pool is back for the 2021 football season. Be part of the action.

Bmooney54's bid for back to back titles was upended by a late surge by Colton M. Who here thinks they know enough about the NFL to beat the odds and pick the winners each week? Man up and test your knowledge. After playing, it might save you a lot of money in Vegas.

Note. This year I'm going to setup 4 fake accounts.
1> Pick all the favorites every week
2> Pick all the underdogs every week
3> Pick all home teams every week
4> Pick all away teams every week

Hopefully one of them doesn't win it all.

Go Patriots!
 
The Raiders win last night propelled Chad M into a 3 way tie with Daniel M and John M, all with 11 correct picks. Chad wins week 1 by virtue of the tie-breaker.

Finishing just 1 game behind was 2020 champion Colton M with 10 correct. Interestingly with 10 correct picks also were the the Away Teams Only and Underdogs Only picks.

It's already time to start researching you week 2 picks.

Thanks!

Not to be pick, but it's time to get your picks in for the week 2 Grog's pick'em pool.
 
Week 2 looks a lot like week 1. Dan Morency, who tied for first last week, wins week 2 with 11 correct picks. Seth Edwards and Ron Smith finished 1 game back with with 10 right.. Several others finished tied for 3rd with 9 correct picks.

Note: Away Teams only also had 11 correct picks - but not eligible to win. Underdog picks only had 10 right.

The season standings show Dan in first place with 22 points
Away Teams Only is in 2nd place with 21 pts
Underdogs Only and Chad are tied for 3rd with 20 points each
Last year's winner Colton and Ron Smith next with 18 points each.

Get your week 3 picks in today so I don't have to "Pick on you" tomorrow.

Thanks,

Sorry for he late update this week. It's been a busy one.

Week 3 saw a 3 way tie for first between Megan M., Riley McNutt and Andy McNutt, each correctly picking 10 games. Riley wins by virtue of the tiebreaker. Nice job. A slew of people finished just 1 game behind including Chad M., Colton M., Ras, Ron Smith, Julie M., and John M. It was a very competitive week.

The season standings now show Dan M., Chad M., and Away Teams only tied for first with 29 points. Underdogs Only are next with 28 points. Andy, Colton and Ron are 2 points back with 27.

Today is the day to get your picks in for the week 4 games, including the over-hyped return of the GOAT to New England. Get those picks in and good luck everybody.

Week 4 update. Week 5 reminder

MikieMo comes thru with a week 4 victory with 10 correct picks, edging 9 other players who all scored 9 correct picks.

The season standings shows Daniel M in first place with 38 correct. One back is Chad M. with 37 right, followed by Colton M and Ron Smith with 36 each. Get your picks in now for the games tomorrow.
 
Week 5 can be summed up in two words: Mickelini domination! Colton Mickelini wins the week with 13 (out of 16) correct picks against the spread. That's pretty good. In second place was Jeff Mickelini with 12 right. Tied for third was Megan Mickelini, John Mickelini, Riley McNutt, Alex Polley and Ron Smith, all with 11 correct picks.

With his big win this week, defending 2020 season champion Colton M moves into first place, displacing Dan M who had a difficult week. Ron Smith moves to second. Away teams Only sits in third followed by Jeff M and Riley M.

The good news is it's a long season and there is plenty of time for everyone to make a move to the top spot. So get your picks in on time this week and good luck.

Grog remembered the Titans, Dan did not, propelling Grog into a tie for first with Dan, both picking 11 correct out of 14 games this week. Seth came in second with 10 right, followed by Megan, Andy, Bmooney54 and Jeff F all with 8 correct picks.

Dan's big week moved him back into a tie for first (55) with his brother-in-law Colton and Away Teams only. Let the trash talk begin. Ron Smith sits just 2 games back at 53 points. Riley McNutt rounds out the top 5, and stays to points ahead of his Dad with 52 points.

6 teams have bye weeks coming up, so there are fewer matchups to run through the AI powered pick'em calculator. So there is no excuse for late picks this week.

Good luck!

Don't forget to make your picks today/now.
 
Stop the presses. Former champ bmooney54 has made an appearance as the week 8 winner with 10 correct picks. Does this mean he's gotten his mojo back? Vegas is concerned. Finishing tied 2nd was another former champ, Andy McNutt, with 9 right. Joining Andy in second place for the week were Jeffery Mickelini, Rachel Russell, Rick Bantz, and DanoinNC. Nice picking everyone!

Colton Mickelini and Dan Morency sit at the top of the league season standings with 69 points (Away Teams Only has 69 points too, but they are a fictional character). Andy McNutt is next with 68, closely followed by Jeff Mickelini, Riley McNutt and yours truly. The league is super close this year. One good week can vault almost anyone to the top.

We have a game to pick tonight featuring the Colts vs the Jets, so get those picks in today!
 
Week 9 was a tight one, with 5 tied for first with 9 correct picks. Riley McNutt comes away with the win by virtue of the tiebreaker. Others with 9 correct picks were Rayna Mickelini, Bmooney54, Chad Massoth, and Away teams only. When in doubt, pick the away team this year.

The season standings show Away Teams only in first place, but since they can't win as they are only fictional, Dan Morency leads the pack with 77 points, followed by Colton Mickelini and Riley McNutt, both just 1 back with 76 points. Chad Massoth is next with 75 and Jeffery Mickelini is hanging close with 74 points.

Its a very tight and competitive race. Get your picks in today for the game tonight.

Good luck and good picking.

Oddly, someone who runs the pool won the week 10 pool. That makes 3 wins this season. How that happens remains a mystery on the level of the 7 Wonders of the World. Yet it happened with Grog scoring 10 correct picks, followed closely by Scott Mallory, Underdogs Only, and Col. Crunch, each with 9 correct.

The season standings (excluding Away Teams Only who actually lead) show Dan Morency leading the pack with 84 points, yours truly comes in next with 83 points, then Colton Mickelini with 82 with Riley McNutt and Chad Massoth rounding out the top 5 with 81 points each. It's about as tight a race for the championship as we've ever had.

So get your picks in today and enjoy the Patriots game tonight.

Thanks for playing!

I dunno. Seems suspicious to me. :coffee:

Cheers, BostonTim :rofl:
 
Week 11 was another nail biter with three people tying for first. Jeff Freeman, Colonel Crunch, and yours truly all got 11 correct picks. Jeff pulls out the win by tiebreaker. Finishing just 1 back were Mikey Mo and Bmooney54 (and Away Teams).

Away Teams continues to lead the pack with 96 points . But since that is a fictional player, Grog has taken a 2 game lead with 94 points, followed by Dan Morency with 92. Chad massoth sits in third with 90 points. Colton slips back to 4th with 89 points. Rounding out the top 5 is Riley McNutt with 88.

Remember tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day with 3 games on the slate. So before you start picking the turkey meat off the bone, be sure to get your picks in.

Thanks for playing and have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

It keeps getting fishy-er.

Well it happened again. Grog tied with Megan M. with 10 right this week and won by tiebreaker. 5 people were tied for 3rd with 8 correct picks.

The season standings show me (Grog) with 104 points after 12 weeks. Away teams have 101, followed by Dan Morency and Chad Massoth with 98 each. Riley McNutt is still in the hunt with 96.

There is still plenty of time to make your move up the leaderboard. Get your picks in today! Good luck!

Ah. Of course. Always, momma said, bet the house.

History was almost made on week 13. Jeff Mickelini was one pick shy of a perfect week, correctly picking 13 out of 14 games this week to blow away the field. His only miss was the San Francisco game. Impressive! Colonel Crunch finished 2 games back with 11, followed by Ras and Seth with 10 each.

The season standings still show Grog with a healthy lead at 112 points, Dan Morency is next with 107. Jeff's big week moves him to into a tie for third at 106 points.

It's time to do this all again. So get your picks in today. Thanks!
