NFL Picks: Week 11 Results / Week 12 Picks

What a bizarre week of football in a very strange season. To make it even more interesting, Commissioner Jerhawk has re-instated Finch865 into the XBLN.com League. Awesome.

Here's the latest in our continuing saga of the NFL Picks, starting with the weird.

As you probably know by now, there was a tie game this week in the NFL between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cincinnati Bengals. This game was also a part of our Double EXP Weekend/2-Point Conversion, and Finch865 in his return and Deus Legend both picked Cincinnati. I've decided to give these people the 2-Points for picking Cincinnati in that game, and give everyone else the one point for picking Philadelphia.

So, the first ever winner(s) of the Weekly 2-Point Conversion goes to:

Deus Legend and Finch865
Cincinnati over Philadelphia (sort of)

Here's some other stuff I found when going through our picks:

-EVERYBODY picked the Indianapolis Colts, the Tennessee Titans and the Miami Dolphins in their respective games and got them ALL CORRECT.
-Stopable and Finch865 were the ONLY people to pick BOTH the Kansas City Chiefs AND the Baltimore Ravens, and got them BOTH WRONG.
-UnKillableBeast was the ONLY person to get the San Diego Chargers WRONG as they lost to the Steelers in the first ever 11-10 game. The score shouldn't have been 11-10, but that's another story...
-Deus Legend was the ONLY person to go for the 2-Point conversion with the Detroit Lions over the Carolina Panthers, but failed.

Here's the results of Week 11 alone, with some very high scores this week:

T1.) Finch865 / 14
T1.) JRC 865 / 14
T1.) Flynn4DaWin / 14
T2.) Deus Legend / 11
T2.) Jerhawk / 11
T3.) UnKillableBeast / 10
T3.) Stopable / 10

Our overall leaderboard heading into Week 12, presented this week by WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2009:

1.) Jerhawk / 103
2.) Flynn4DaWin / 98
3.) Deus Legend / 96
4.) JRC 865 / 95
T5.) Stopable / 92
T5.) UnKillableBeast / 92
6.) Finch865 / 52

So, I'm the first one to break the 100 point mark, and it's still pretty tight all around. It'll be a miracle if Finch were to win, but he's doing his best. Thanks for re-joining the team!
