The tight race at the top of the leaderboard shifts again as Biggie pulls ahead of the crowd!  Not a lot of correct calls on our Thanksgiving Touchdown makers made Week 13's bet on the Feature Game a crucial one and with our deposed leader dropping the ball, Biggie was quick to snap up that top spot!  As a side note, the number of people who called McCaffery as the week's rushing leader is disappointing.  You should all be ashamed. *wags finger* :P

 

########## WEEK 13 RESULTS ##########

 

Feature Game: Chicago Bears (-3.5) at Detroit Lions
In a close contest, Chicago barely edges out the Lions by a score of 20.5(24-3.5)-20.  Bets on the Bears win.

Trubisky hit Robinson from 10 yards out for the first score of the Feature Game.

Higbee.  That's a fun name to say.  Higbee.
