Week 16 Results & Overall Standings

1. English – Week 16 10-6 // Overall 159-80-1

T2. Papson – Week 16 12-4 //Overall 154-85-1

T2. Wendell – Week 16 13-3 // Overall 154-85-1

A little stumble from Kyle last week closed the gap between him and Matt/me to five games. With exactly give games different this week, I need to hit a five team parlay to close the gap. All signs are point to another English season long pick’em crown. Our picks for the week are below. Congrats to all our RSO champions and enjoy the final week of the regular season. Playoffs are here next week!

Happy holidays and welcome to Week 16, the championship week for most of you in your RSO leagues. If you have made it this far, congrats as it is an impressive feat, and best of luck in your pursuit of fantasy immortality today. The NFL playoff picture will look pretty clear save a spot (or possibly two) at the end of the day, and if yesterday was any indication, we should have a great slate of games today. All three games had playoff implications yesterday and were decided by a touchdown or less. The Texans edged out the Bucs due to four INTs by Jameis, the Pats did what the Pats do and beat the Bills at home to clinch their 11th straight AFC East title, and then Jimmy G put last year’s NFC Champs out of the playoffs this year, showing once again how much parity exists in the NFL. Kyle, Matt and I were all 3-0 yesterday (along with most of America as the three “better” teams won), but like the NFL’s playoff picture, this contest will likely be complete by the end of this week, as Kyle has a seven game lead over Matt and an eight game lead over me, due to his 24-8 record over the last couple of weeks. The real test will be if Kyle can take down ESPN’s leading expert at the moment, Trey Wingo. Our picks for this week are below. We hope everyone enjoys the games and has a happy and healthy holiday week!
