Our regular season champion, Agnes (whose prize is a 3+ point lead over the rest of the playoff field plus eternal glory); 2. SqueekyClean; 3. Fantasy Ponzi Scheme; 4. our defending champion DK who is seeking to become the third two-time champion in the storied history of this contest; 5. JohnPeter33; 6. Old Frowner; 7. hometeam; and tied for 8th, Ben and Borcas.  As announced in the Week 17 thread on Sunday, we are in for a wild and wooly first week of picking, the format f...

We're shuffling off to Buffalo for the all play this week, Cowboys +1.5 over the Bills.  For Thursday Night Football AKA the Easton Stick show we have [had] Raiders -3 over Chargers.  As for the rest, the lines for Saturday's and Monday's NCAA bowl games (which are the ones in play for this week) are here , here are the lines for the rest of the weekend's NFL action, which also includes a Saturday slate, and the current standings are here . As with all regular season weeks, you need to get at least one college vote in. Finally, remember, NEXT WEEK is the LAST week of the regular season so now's the time to expend those unused POTYs and make your playoff push. Godspeed all!

Cheddar Bay Week Fifteen: Navy +2.5 at Army (3 PM Saturday)

Image
No need for a PDF, this week's only college game (perforce the All Play) is 5-6 Navy at 5-6 Army, Saturday at 3 PM.  Here  are this week's NFL lines, and  here  as always are the standings.  A proper playoff post is pending, but for now: the final week of the Cheddar regular season will be our Week 17 (ie Christmas). This will make the first round of the playoffs a bit less of a scramble. Like last year the top eight contenders will make the playoffs (with ties handled by sudden death in the usual fashion). In the meantime, anyone who has not yet used their POTY should make sure to do so!
