A total of 20 CR is the CR Leaderboard Committee sweep.

Someone tell Dark Knight I will not be happy if he doesn't make picks.

No way no how do I want a walkover for a division title

Please let him know he needs to make picks this weekend

Week 11 TNF wrap: With the Packers facing a 4th and 2 at their own 33, trailing 27-24 with 4:20 remaining in the last quarter and a healthy elite A-Rod behind centre.. Coach McCarthy opts to punt in the hope the Packers D can get back possession with one time out. That didn't happen as the cheese melts into another road loss compounding the Packers to third in their division.

It's a result that Bipolarbear (5-5) didn't envisage after the Packers bounced out to a 14-3 first Q lead. He loaded up with a high CR on the Pack with a plan to get a jumpstart for his second HRSQ after being denied in Week 10 with the most winners but short on CR points.

Third placed on the CR standings, Showbag makes it back to back nominations on the TNF Bufferzone. Last week was the first time all listed BZ Candidates claimed a W.

Can confirm Dark Knight has received your request. I've also let him know he is a 'mathematical chance' (read: LONGSHOT) to claim the Division but like anything, he needs to dig deep and get results.


In other updates:

Three of the five no shows have submitted their picks. Left a message for Starlin Castro via email.. hopefully he is safe somewhere. SC's Divisional opponents prefer camsmith to win this week regardless. bgt2110 not impressed atm with AE's wanna-be Houdini.

Hopefully tomatosauceling can regenerate some enthusiasm and make a run like he did in 2012 (CR Runners Up).

Having being clean swept in both matchups this season by my mate JME who pipped me by a point when the Titans got up over Dallas (he didn't even perform the ol switcheroo either) then that just about sums up my 2018 campaign to be ousted by a no show

I just am of the mind if you are in this thing you stay in it until the end. Unless there is some unforeseen event/emergency etc..

There is an obligation to everyone who participates as well. It isn't fair to roll over when others still have a chance and face opponents who haven't given up. Imagine if you were a fellow who could advance but doesn't because guy you are trying to catch gets walkover.

Nobody would be happy in such a situation---nobody

There are always 2 comps you can still contend for regardless of standing. High Roller and Hot Streak comps. Money can still be had.

Personally, I want to earn a division title and ND playoff birth. Not win because someone cashed it in.

If Dark Knight bests me this weekend then that's the way it goes. Means I didn't do well enough and then Moo still has chance to run me down (as does Dark Knight himself)

I am glad he got message

Is this the week for 3XKO carnage.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Panthers, Falcons, Titans cost me 27pts combined. **** you riverboat Ron who the hell goes for 2 in that situation? Yeah the pass was poor but just bank the extra point and go to OT. So dumb. Titans is on me but Falcons losing to Cowboys at home?

At least in still alive in HS thanks to the Steelers last gasp win, hopefully I'm not jinxing the Saints now, surely they beat Philly.

Chargers are the only possibility for carnage.

Got spooked by some of the early games and took the Cards out of my hotstreak! Didn't need the stress lol

Brave having them in there in the first place!!!!

Perhaps I should've avoided the chargers!

Time to pull up a chair and get comfortable in the dropzone me thinks.

By my calculations you're safe...

You need Bears to win and then get MNF correct to be safe.

I'm all good thankfully! #phew

I hate you both

I will just sit by myself then

Thanks

This stinking' result didn't do ME any favours regards the HRSQ... I was in the drivers seat too... now the CR #LAST is in the drivers seat.. could well have OUR first FEMALE HRSQ!! It's up to Marcuz to guess correct for MNF to give himself a shot at the HRSQ bonus otherwise we may well have a house in Melbourne with THREE HRSQ's to their name.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

I love the Broncos

 

[Woodson]

There are still a dozen of the remaining 15 match ups to be determined with play-off implications on a much highly anticipated MNF contest as two additional divisions are clinched with walk-offs including American Crow (Mike Webster) and BeLikeMike (Bo Jackson) won earlier to make it his second Division title since 2012.

2017 3XKO Champ, PHX, took a step closer to wrapping up the Boomer Esiason Division with only sblack (7-4) capable of claiming as Woodson has run his race (6-5) despite defeating Oscarman.

The Ed Reed Division has a temporary leader, Marcuz (5-6) after a comprehensive victory against Billiever (4-6-1) meaning Bigredmachine (4-5-1) has a chance to claim #1 spot if can hold off Rashmanadon as it's 41-38 atm.

Even though PeterBuch74 (5-6) has been eliminated from the Drew Brees Divisional title race with a victory over BornAgainIdiot (9-2), Bloods33 (6-4) is still alive but he's gonna need to hope the 3XKO survivor, Jayzah (5-5) guesses incorrectly with the 10CR leverage to overtake Bloods33 for victory. A Jayzah win will clinch a three-peat of Division titles for BornAgainIdiot.

TCol (5-6) is just a game behind the Sterling Sharpe Division leader, Jatz (6-5) setting up an all important Divisional Powerplay in week 12 as TCol was upstaged in the play-offs last season by the rookie of the year, Jatz and also a few weeks ago in week 6.

Unmitigated disaster.

 

[Oscarman]

Interesting some of the CR points left for today's game. Some double figures and quite a few in the 7/8/9 region. Brave.

Thank goodness you don't know what you are talking about!

 

[Big Red Machine]

That moment when it's 5 vs 7 for MNF and you pick the same... While being up already by 3.

I'll admit it's kind of anticlimactic but atleast I can enjoy the game now without stressing over the ND result - Sole possession of the Ed Reed division is mine for a week.

 

[peterbuch74]

Thank goodness you don't know what you are talking about!

At that time I didn't know who had selected what for MNF... so all good
