There are so many different systems based on this constest. It is alot of fun to look at this stuff.

Great stuff Greg.

Anyone have an idea what the top 5 records (and No. 1 picks records) are this year?

 

[GM]

Jeff,

The leader's got 33 pts. You get 1 for a win and a half pt for a push. 9 weeks x 5 games = 45 possible points, so I guess that would make him 33-12, or 32-11-2, etc. Second thru fifth are all within 3 pts of the leader, I believe, with the leader a point up on 2nd? (Going from memory, but it's close to that). The same guy (nickname: I Walk A Beat) has been the leader for a few weeks, at least.

 

[GM]

Well this is interesting.

Top 5 Picks went 3-2. One loss when Carolina brain-cramped at the end of the game, the other a half-point loss on New England.
Most lopsided games went 4-2.
Least selected teams covered 1 of 5.

But then it gets odd...
Leader went 2-3.
Last place guy went 3-2.

In the Top 6 collective section, teams with 2 or more people on them went 2-6...however, both Chicago and New England showed up with 2+ picks (someone had to win, someone had to lose...so exclude that game and the consensus picks of the top players went 1-5.

In the Bottom 10 collective section, the 4 most popular picks all won.

Truly unusual results. Looks like it was a good week for the guys at the bottom and not so good for the guys at the top.
