In an absolutely ridiculous Week 18, the leaderboard is shaken with some big rises and even bigger falls! When the dust settled on the regular season it was Keyser_Soze who reclaimed his spot atop the rankings. They say you gotta have momentum going into the playoffs; can he keep it going and go on another run defending his position? POST-SEASON NOTE: Fewer games and fewer players on the field means fewer questions. Questions are still important, but your bets are more crucial than ever. Good luck! ########## WEEK 18 RESULTS ########## Week 18 Feature Game - L.A. Chargers (-2.5) @ Las Vegas Raiders The NFL's first ever Week 18 ends with a doozy, as the Chargers and Raiders take it down to the wire with Las Vegas winning by a score of 35-29.5(32-2.5) in OT. Bets on the black & silver win. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Chargers TD, Chargers FG, Chargers safety, Raiders TD, Raiders FG, Raiders safety, or other? ($2,000 for the correct call) A 1st quarter 24 yarder through the uprights put the Raiders up by 3 early for the first points of the Feature Game.

Of the 2 teams still in the hunt (49'ers, Saints) name the team that will claim this final spot. ($1,500 for the correct team) The San Francisco 49'ers edge out the Saints to take the last spot in the NFC. 5) Call the winners: Green Bay at Detroit Chicago at Minnesota New Orleans at Atlanta ($1,500 for EACH correct named game winner, $3,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Only AbsolutSurgen picked all three games correctly to earn the bonus! 6) Seattle @ Arizona: Over or under 47.5 points? ($1,500 for the right call) With 68 combined points, this one went way over. 7) Did you even block? From snap to whistle name a player that will record a sack in 3 seconds or less.

($5,000 for each player named correctly, $10,000 bonus if both names are called) Rashaad Penny led all rushers with 190 yards in Week 18 while Rob Gronkowski got fed for 137 yards receiving.

Is something wrong with 'Rick and Morty' fans? WWW.NEWSWEEK.COM "Nobody exists on purpose, nobody belongs anywhere, everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV." That article will give you an idea. All that said, I really dig the show and don't worry what folks think. I like sci-fi and I like funny. Doesn't need to go further than that IMO.

There's a very cringey subset of the fan base that makes being a fan of R&M feel wrong.

I've got a 2 pack sitting in my medicine cabinet in case I ever need it, but I don't think I will.

Which is funny as most fans I know are none too happy with this selection, if it pans out.

It's looking like Admirals. It's definitely going to be something military. Apparently washingtonadmirals.com briefly redirected to washingtonfootball.com, before being changed to redirect to some charity.

Deadline is TOMORROW! Get your entries in!

People still wear them. :P I might have one autographed by one of the Hogettes.

Keyser_Soze's streak is ended as Biggie takes the reigns going into the final week of the regular season! For the first time in NFL and MGT history we now move into Week 18, and with the tightest leaderboard we've ever had this late in the game! Almost every player is roughly within one bet of the lead and with the post-season still to go it's anyone's competition. REMINDER: I'm saying this now because nearly every year we have a player or two that says, "Oh I thought this was over" after either betting it all because they thought there was no chance at taking the lead in the "final week" or failing to make an entry during Wild Card weekend. This is your gentle reminder that this competition runs through the playoffs. The MGT's final week is the Super Bowl! We've got a close race this year so don't throw in the towel; Week 18 is NOT the finale. ########## WEEK 17 RESULTS ########## Week 17 Feature Game - Cleveland Browns (-3.5) @ Pittsburgh Steelers The Steelers keep their playoff hopes alive, winning by a score of 26-10.5(14-3.5). Bets on Pittsburgh win. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Browns TD, Browns FG, Browns safety, Steelers TD, Steelers FG, Steelers safety, or other? ($2,000 for the correct call) After a scoreless first quarter, a redzone pass by Roethlisberger in the 2nd leads to a touchdown and the first points of the Feature Game. Calls for a Steelers TD get it. BasemntDweller2 was the only player to get this one. 2) Which quarterback will finish the Feature Game with a higher passer rating? ($1,200 for the correct name) Roethlisberger finished with an abysmal 56.3 rating while finished with an even worse 53.1. Bets on Roesthlisberger win. 3) Currently 8 teams have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention (Jacksonville, Detroit, NY Jets, Houston, New York Giants, Carolina, Chicago, and Seattle). How many of these teams will WIN in Week 17? ($2,000 for the correct number) Chicago and Seattle were the only two eliminated teams that won in Week 17. 2 is the call. BasemntDweller2, ManUtdRedDevils and Slug were the only players to get this one right. 4) Which team scores first: Houston or San Francisco? ($1,200 a correct guess) Houston scores first on a 2nd quarter TD pass for what would be their only points on the day. 5) Call the winners: Miami at Tennessee L.A. Rams at Baltimore Philadelphia at Washington ($1,500 for EACH correct named game winner, $3,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Easy week as several players called all three games correctly for the bonus. 6) A no good very bad week: Name a QB that will throw 3 or more interceptions in Week 17 ($3,000 for a correct name) Three quarterbacks (Tim Boyle, Trevor Lawrence, and Josh Allen) each threw 3 picks. If you named one you got it. 7) Kansas City @ Cincinnati - Which team will have the most combined rushing yards? ($1,200 for the right call) The Chiefs laid down 155 combined rushing yards to the Bengals' 60. Bets on KC win. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week seventeen. ($4,000 for each player named correctly, $8,000 bonus if both names are called) In a week that saw eight different 100 yard rushers, Najee Harries comes out on top with 188 yards on Monday night, while Ja'Marr Chase pulled down a ridiculous 266 yards through the air to lead all receivers in Week 17. Biggie was the only player to call Harris. Nobody called Chase so no bonus awarded. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @Biggie - $62,805 @Keyser_Soze - $60,300 @thewhyteboar - $48,805 @Commissar SFLUFAN - $46,003 @AbsolutSurgen - $45,695 @Pikachu - $42,600 @BasemntDweller2 - $30,300 Slug - $30,000 @ManUtdRedDevils - $12,500 @Kal-El814 - $8,100 If you think I mathed wrong, let me know. ########## THE SEASON ######### Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 - BYE Week 8 Week 9 Week 10 Week 11 Week 12 Week 13 Week 14 Week 15 - BYE Week 16 Week 17 ############################### WEEK 18 FEATURE GAME AND QUESTIONS FOLLOW THIS POST!

I would let a Dallas fan poll on the Internet choose our permanent name if that means Snyder goes.

You realize that QBR != passer rating, right? :P

I'm hoping for not hogs, but I fear that's the way they're going to go in some capacity because of their allusion to team history. The Hogs were a specific unit (O-Line), never a reference to the whole team. It'd be like if they renamed the Vikings to the Purple People Eaters or the Dolphins to the Miami Killer B's. Just feels wrong. But if that's the way they go I'm still down. The name ultimately doesn't matter a ton to me so long as it's not something tragically stupid. I'll still be there on Sunday.

The Washington Football Team will announce it's permanent name on 2/2. Why Wolves won't work (and a date to save) WWW.WASHINGTONFOOTBALL.COM Washington Football Team president Jason Wright explains why the team is moving away from "Wolves" and "RedWolves" as a new name and updates fans on an important date.

That's pretty funny.

I was in the stadium already at the deadline and forgot.

The stuff I usually shoot is like $35/box nowadays. As a not rich person this makes for expensive days at the range. To be fair though I could spend less on fireworks...

Have you seen ammo prices recently?

Keyser_Soze hangs on to his lead but gains no ground in his bid to pull away from the pack in Week 16! (OK, he gained some ground...$602..but what's a few hundred fake Internet dollars here or there?) As we roll into the penultimate week of the regular season the MGT, like the AFC, is still anyone's ball game! ########## WEEK 16 RESULTS ########## Week 16 Feature Game - Miami Dolphins at New Orleans Saints (-3.5) As the 'rona continues to run rampant through the League, a depleted Saints team gets rolled by the Dolphins by a score of 30-negative 0.5(3-3.5). Bets on Miami win. QUESTIONS 1) What will be the first scoring play of the Feature Game? Dolphins TD, Dolphins FG, Dolphins safety, Saints TD, Saints FG, Saints safety, or other? ($1,700 for the correct call) Sanders hit's a 48 yard field goal in the 1st quarter to start off the scoring in the Feature Game. Miami FG is the call. BasemntDweller2 and ManUtdRedDevils were the only players to call this one correctly. 2) Which team will score LAST in the Feature Game? ($1,000 for the correct call) Sanders starts and ends the scoring in this one with a 4th quarter boot. Guesses on the Dolphins get it. 3) Protect the ball! Name any player that will fumble more than once in Week 16. ($2,000 for the correct player) Nobody! Everyone who fumbled in Week 16 learned their lesson and didn't do it again. 4) Yes or no: Will any receiver catch 3 or more TDs in a single game in Week 16? ($1,000 a correct guess) No receiver caught more than 2 TDs this week. No is the call. 5) Call the winners: Indianapolis at Arizona Jacksonville at N.Y. Jets Buffalo at New England ($1,200 for EACH correct named game winner, $3,000 bonus if you call all 3 correctly) Not a lot of faith in Buffalo, so no bonus awarded. 6) How many teams will have clinched a playoff spot after Week 16?

Way over. 8) Name the player who will rush for the most yards AND the player that will have the most receiving yards in week sixteen. ($3,500 for each player named correctly, $7,500 bonus if both names are called) Rex Burkhead was Week 16's leading rusher with 149 yards and Tee Higgins put up 194 in receiving yards to lead there. Nobody called either player. ######### LEADERBOARD ######### @Keyser_Soze - $50,600 @Commissar SFLUFAN - $46,303 @AbsolutSurgen - $43,995 @Pikachu - $41,400 @thewhyteboar - $39,905 @Biggie - $35,905 Slug - $18,400 @ManUtdRedDevils - $18,300 @BasemntDweller2 - $9,100 @Kal-El814 - $8,100 If you think I mathed wrong, let me know. ########## THE SEASON ######### Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Week 6 Week 7 - BYE Week 8 Week 9 Week 10 Week 11 Week 12 Week 13 Week 14 Week 15 - BYE Week 16 ############################### WEEK 16 FEATURE GAME AND QUESTIONS FOLLOW THIS POST!

There was no TNF this week! The thread will be going up today, the normal 2 days before the deadline. Patience!

Yup. My prognostication skills are uncanny.

Merry Christmas, D1Pshits. Hope everyone has a great rest of 2021 and all the best in the new year.
