Well, the end of the season is here, and we have the week 17 plus the overall results for the NFL Picks.
First, we had a killer week on the picks. Big congrats go out to Lajitas for an impressive 14-2 record for the week. Here are the week’s results
| Lajitas | 14 |
| Robert | 12 |
| Phil | 12 |
| DJ Jumping Beans | 11 |
| Frank | 11 |
| Silent E | 10 |
| Ick | 10 |
Now for the final results. The overall winner for this season’s NFL Picks is Silent E with a 70.166% accuracy. He had 127 out of 181 for his top 12 weeks. For the entire season he picked 165 games correct. Here are the overall results:
| Silent E | 70.166% |
| Phil | 69.061% |
| Frank | 68.132% |
| White Beaner | 67.213% |
| Jimi | 64.444% |
| Ick | 63.043% |
| Lajitas | 61.749% |
| Robert | 59.341% |
| Steve | 51.136% |
| Liverdamage | 31.073% |
| Steveegg | 29.213% |
| Johnnie R. | 25.989% |
| The Dragon | 24.571% |
| Sean | 5.556% |
| BigLou | 5.028% |
| Chooch | 4.420% |
Out of the 16 people who participated, 6 made picks for all 17 weeks, 8 made enough picks to cover the 12 weeks counted in the final results.
For those concerned with how we compared to the ESPN pros, as a group our overall percentage was 59.139% compared to the ESPN pros’ 63.792%, and their computer’s 66.797%.
Also, there was some concern about using only the top 12 weeks from each participant instead of the full 17 week season. The only person who benefited from this was Jimi who moved up 3 spots due to the rule. Other than that, everybody else was in the same order.

No, but they were counted by some Floridians vacationing in Puerto Rico. Why? Did you find a mistake?

Congrats Ric!!
Funny thing about our winner this year, before all this started I had to talk him into playing!!
Thanks to everyone for your participation, we will be doing this again next season.

Now why would you have gone and done something like that? I could have won. I guess I will have to make up for it next year.

Sorry. I trailed off at the end. Mostly due to my own pick pool. But also due to the holiday craziness. Next season I promise to stick with it.
