That seems like the best reason I have ever heard for missing games. Ok, you win. Maybe not the pick 'em game I suppose, but life, and that seems a bit more important.

Even missing your pics you STILL came in third Well it was the Browns failure to beat the Steelers that did Ody in. By the 1 point gained from that game I seem to have come in first with Ody 2nd.

Now I'm going to do the playoffs a lil different this year.

Everyone starts the playoffs with the points gained in the Regular season. With the point spread so close that could give anyone a reasonable chance to win the playoff's and go to the Super Bowl.

Top 2 players will then v for the Title of Tann's 2015 pick'em champ per their pic to win the Super Bowl.

So good luck and next up the Wild Card rd.

**Actually I was thinking last night that I should really ask you guys if you want to try it this way or just start off fresh with no points. Let me know if you can before the weekend thanks.

Hmmm....that is 3 of the 4 road tames and the only home team I picked was the Vikings, who I don't really think will win but I can't bring myself to pick against. That does seem odd.

Kansas City

Green Bay

SATURDAY

Kansas City
Cincinnati

SUNDAY

Seattle
Green Bay

This picks are for new points. All regular season points will not be included

Does that mean Albert won the regular season? Congratulations Albert!!! Well fought.

At first I had thought of just continuing with the points gained. However on closer examination with you Roger 10 points behind me and Nomad and Olan even farther back. Only Ody was close enough to possibly gain the needed points through the Playoffs. I saw it would be stupid to do that. So everyone's at zero and lets see which of us go to the Super Bowl

Congrats on the regular season win!

Kansas City at Houston
Pittsburgh at Cincinnati

Seattle at Minnesota
Green Bay at Washington

I think it's time to start nominations for:

The 2015 NFL All JACKAXX Team.
Let me start, then you can copy and add your choices.

For Offense:
Quarterback, Johnny (Billy) Manziel, #2 Cleveland Browns



For Defense:
Linebacker, Adam (Loose Lips) Jones, #24 Cincinnati Bengals
Corner Back, Vontaze (Head Hunter) Burfict, #55 Cincinnati Bengals

Were we all 3 for 4?

Yep Roger one way or another we all ended up with 3 points. Next 2 weeks should be interesting.
