And now losin Martin Bush looks even better, it doesn't matter the Texans will end up getting Bush.

Going into Monday Night Football, there is one clear winner. Stocker323 has defended his crown with a record of 12-3 in the Straight Category. In the Spread Category, One Red Seat leads with a record of 9-5 and has declined not to take a prize. Stocker323, and SoxFan#1 are tied for second place with a record of 8-6. Sizzlin22 ( 7-7 ) has picked New Orleans. While Stocker323 and SoxFan#1 have chosen Atlanta. If Atlanta wins by more 10, Stocker323 and SoxFan#1will win this category. If not then there will be a tie. The tie breaker is the closest to the Monday Night total points scored. If New Orleans wins or loses by less than 10, then Sizzlin22 will make it a three way tie ( same rules apply ).

Not to be a stickler, but I only count Sizzlin with 8 correct spread picks. TB, NE, INDY, WAS, SEA, BAL, DAL, & DET were correct picks, while STL, CHI, OAK, TEN, CIN, NYG, and SD didn't cover. Personally, I'm playing for the fun of picking, so I wish to take my name out of contention for the money. This means Stocker and SF#1 are both 9-6 with Atlanta picks and Sizzlin is 8-7 with a NO pick, putting 3 members in contention.

That is directly cut-&-pasted. Perhaps the confusion comes from the typo in the bold formatting of the CIN vs. CLE game. He clearly picks CIN, but it didn't bold because of the extra /.

 

EDIT: The bold didn't come through when I cut and pasted, here's a link to his picks

You're partially correct. When calulating the win/ loss record, I add up the loses and subtract from 15. This technique was applied to all entries. Due to a tie ( Dallas/KC ) there were only 14 games. Thus the wins for all entrants were overstated by one. I noticed this after I posted, but was toolazy to edit, since it had no effect on the standings. I will correct that. Thanks.

Sorry to continue the nitpick, but I counted DAL as correct for Sizzlin, so if you take it away, he's 7-7 going into tonight. That makes the outcomes as such:

 

Atlanta wins by 10 or more: Closest total points between Stocker (31) and SF#1 (42)

 

Atlanta wins by less than 10 or loses: Closest total points between Stocker (31), SF#1 (42), and Sizzlin (49)

 

Oh yeah, and just in case, I withdraw my total points number from the competition. In future weeks I'll only make picks so as to not take a number.
