Looks like the majority of us ( 13 out of 18) have at least one wager to be sorted out tonight.
But not Unjon. So time to catch up ? Or perhaps at least close the gap a bit ?

There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

It appears I should root for Cowboys! As an Steelers fan I’m not sure I can do that.
The race is not always to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; but that is the way to bet.

Actually... a strong case can be made for you to root for the Bucs.Quote: unJonIt appears I should root for Cowboys! As an Steelers fan I’m not sure I can do that.

If Dallas covers, your closest rival will be me, $102 away from you. Also, the top four players behind you will have a combined bankroll of $2,629.
However, if Tampa Bay covers, your closest rival will be GenWyzgy, $125 away from you. Also, the top four players behind you will have a combined bankroll of just $2,552.
But yes, if you are only looking at the total bankroll of all players, root for Dallas. All of your opponents combined will have a total of $7,583 if Dallas covers. If Tampa Bay covers the combined bankroll of all of your opponents will be $8,584. (I do realize there is one small bet on tonight's total, which will change the combined total a tiny bit, depending upon the final score. Everyone but Joeman should be rooting for the total to go Over.)

On the rankings board, I am going to be in the wine cellar with Wizard and miplet.
So many better men, a few of them friends, are dead. And a thousand thousand slimy things live on, and so do I.

Actually, I'm thinking I may have 'Mr. Average' just about locked up. Too bad there isn't a prize for that this game!

Greetings!
First of all, there are no words that can adequately express my appreciation to EdCollins for designing yet another program to handle the grading! I tried to come up with adequate words to do so, but I'm simply not a good enough writer.
I should also like to apologize for my absence of the last few days as I came down with Covid; I suspect the new variant. Saturday was actually the worst day as it was an effort just to make my picks and get the Picks posted. I proceeded to immediately go to sleep for another 4.5 hours afterward. I'm still not entirely well, but I am much better. The coughing and sore throat have subsided considerably (my fiancee has taken most excellent care of me the last few days!), but I remain congested as hell and the most disgusting of my symptoms include an ever-present smell inside of my nostrils not dissimilar to a sinus infection smell.
The body aches were the worst, but those only lasted two days. Still, for those of you inclined to do so, I would recommend taking reasonable precautions to avoid catching this one, if possible.
When it comes to the WoV Picks Game, I have still not heard from everyone with prizes due and cannot presently go out anyway until I test negative. Unfortunately, these factors (but mostly the Covid) will kick that resolution to early next week, by which time I will hopefully have heard from everyone. When I send this week's Pick Reminders, (Thursday) I will also send separate PM's to those with prizes due reiterating this and asking anyone who has not told me how they wish to receive their prize (assuming there are any such people left) to please do so at once.
The Conference Semi-Final Lines will be up later today. Note that the Giants/Eagles game is the only one that consists of two teams from the same Division playing one another. On the other hand, every Division is represented on the AFC side, so perhaps only the AFC can rightly call it the, "Divisional Round," this year.
