For the 2nd straight week, Will I Am finishes the week with the top score. His +8 ties him with The Burners for high score of the week but this time, The Burners had the closest total points taking home the Week 7 prize. Both players get credit for a week win.
The Old School Bandits take the overall lead for the season at +12. Big Red and Hammer Time are tied for the 2nd spot at +11 and Big_Rippas is sitting in 4th at +7.
Will I Am had the lead going into Monday Night Football, but until the 4th quarter, it looked like 3 players who chose San Francisco would rely on the total points tiebreaker to see who wins the weekly prize. Washington’s comeback to cover ultimately clinches the week for Will I Am at +7.
After Week 6, Hammer Time is in first place overall at +11, followed by Mister Sam at +10, Big Red at +8 and Steelerhawk at +7.
We had 3 players (JamieGSteelers, Ivan Hoe and NateG5791) end Week 5 with +7 winning both their POWs and MNF taking us to the 3rd tiebreaker which is MNF total points. JamieGSteelers pick of 48 total points (like who didn’t think this would be 60+???) wins the weekly prize. All 3 players get credit for 1/3 of a week win which comes into play for season finishing tiebreakers.
Speaking of season finishing tiebreakers, we have 3 players leading the season race. Cricket, Mister Sam, and Big Red are all at +10. Hammer Time is in 4th at +9.
Steelerhawk finishes Week 4 with a +7 which is good enough to take the weekly prize.
The season race remains tight with Mailman sitting in the top spot at +8, Big_Rippas is at +7, Hammer Time and Mister Sam are at +6 and Cool Turban, Cricket and Big Red are at +5.
Blackkceasar (Philadelphia) had a 2-point lead over Big Dawg (Chicago) going into Monday Night Football and the easy Chicago cover gives Big Dawg the weekly win based on the MNF win tiebreaker. Both players finish the week at +8.
Mailman takes the overall season lead at +9, with Smeltdipper and Hammer Time are at +8. Zoom is in 4th at +7.
Cool Turban finishes the week at +7 after holding a commanding lead for the weekend.
After 2 weeks of games, Cool Turban’s big Week 2 gives him the overall lead at +6, followed by Big_Rippas, Dilly Dilly, Smeltdipper and Hammer Time all at +4.
JamieGSteelers and Dilly Dilly both ended up at +5 for Week 1, but JamieGSteelers wins due to the 1st tiebreaker being the POW win/loss. With Dilly Dilly losing their POW gives JamieGSteelers the win.
On the strength of Seattle’s dominating performance, Cricket wins the 30th MSP Super Bowl. In addition to the Super Bowl winner prize, she will get free entry to MSP NFL 2026.
Congratulations to Cricket.
#4 Cricket and #20 The Wrinkle King have the exact same picks (Seattle -4.5 POW & Under 45.5).
In the event of duplicate picks, the outcome is determined by the higher seed’s POW. If Seattle covers Cricket wins, if New England covers, the Wrinkle King wins.
#4 Cricket (Seattle -4.5) vs. #20 The Wrinkle King (New England +4.5)
#20 The Wrinkle King finds himself in the Super Bowl after first wiping out #1 Bizarro Mister Sam and now #2 Ivan Hoe. On the other side, #4 Cricket slips by #14 Starrs as Cricket advances due to the season finish tiebreaker.
Cricket and The Wrinkle King will face off in the Super Bowl. In the Super Bowl, we add in the Over/Under as a potential tiebreaker if both players make the same pick for the against the spread winner. I will reach out to both players individually so that they understand the rules.
I will be making the lines next Sunday or Monday to make sure there are no wild swings with the lines. Congratulations to both players.
Here are the final scores from the weekend:
