Here's the deal on the tie-breaker. The software that runs the Pickem breaks ties using the total score predictions for the Monday night games, closest prediction to the actual score wins - doesn't matter whether the prediction is over or under the actual score. So that's the way the contest will decide tie-breakers - IF a situation arises where two people tie in the tie-breaker i.e. one person predicts 35 points, the other predicts 45, and the actual score of the Monday Night game turns out to be 40 - the person with the predicted total score UNDER the actual score of the game wins.

Also for the first time in the contest a whole bunch of people got the Monday night score prediction bang on correct - there is a 3 point bonus for doing that. The weekly championship is awarded to the person with the most wins that week NOT the most points. The bonus points will figure into the overall season standings. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't have set up the contest with the bonus points because I really think the winner of a Pickem should be the person with the most wins not some flukey ability to predict a Monday night total score.

Got it? Hope so cuz i'm not sure I do

is that why the top 15 looks like this?

People with less wins and a worse percentage are on top of others with more wins and better percentage?
