Pick 256 - 2015 Week #12 Report

It's getting close to time to start my other FanPost series, I Did the Math.

After another disappointing Thanksgiving, my focus here is still reporting how we did - individually and collectively - each week, and recognizing exceptional activity.

Again, we didn't have any Football Mensas going out onto limbs and picking 2-209 winners. The only game that was that lopsided, Arizona held on to win. I could recognize the nine who picked CHI to beat GB in the frozen tundra, but that was the second straight home loss by the Packers to division rivals. More of us should have seen it, but that doesn't win this week.

No, this week I am nominating the two who stood above the field, beating our consensus by three games, and finishing 13-3, and the only one to hit the Thanksgiving Trifecta. The nominees are Enzzo Jr, lucke, and shooter09.

  • Enzzo Jr - first-time player whose three misses were DAL, NE, and CLE (our Thanksgiving game and both night games - all missed by most of us as well); he was a perfect 11-0 on the Sunday afternoon games (all nine early games, and both late games)
  • lucke - eleven-week player who is near the top of the leaderboard and the pick accuracy board; his three misses were GB, NYG, and NE
  • shooter09 - only one of 211 entrants to hit the Thanksgiving Trifecta, picking DET-CAR-CHI; alas, he could not keep it up on the weekend, going 2-7 in the early games before finishing strong - 3-1 in the late and night games

Congratulations, Enzzo Jr. I hope you're not one-and-done, and we'll see you the rest of the season. You are this week's Football Mensa winner.

Now, for this week's report:

One.Cool.Customer graciously left the contest open for twenty-four hours after the first game kicked off, so that everyone could have a chance to get picks submitted. Only three took advantage of his generosity, and all three posted picks shortly after the first game kicked off.

I'm pleased with all the new players each week. We continue to add new players each week, and are up to 819 individuals for the season. We have only once failed to have at least nine new players each week.

Last year, we dropped off many players, probably due to the Thanksgiving holiday and early deadlines. This year was almost the same as last week (dropped from 215 down to 211).

Here is the Participation Table, tracking the first twelve weeks:

12 211 14 819

For the first time in four weeks, our consensus got at least ten games right, rebounding nicely from the past three weeks. Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

Our worst losses this week as a consensus were the two Thanksgiving losses (DAL - 82% and GB - 96%) and the two night games (CLE - 76% and NE - 71%). Large numbers of us picked the two remaining unbeaten teams to lose. Unfortunately for us, the wrong one lost. [sigh]

Here are the results of our consensus preferences for each game in week #12:

If you had played every week and matched our consensus, you would be near the top of our leaderboard. How do we as a whole compare with your score?

I had mis-spoken in an earlier comment comparing the consensus picks of the Front Page Writers with those of our Pick 256 consensus. I had noticed one discrepancy (TB-IND), but failed to notice the other (NYG-WAS). We split those two games and had identical picks in the other fourteen games, so we each finished with the same record for the week, and we maintain our one-game lead for another week.

Here's the table tracking the weekly consensus scores of Pick 256 participants and the Front Page Writers:

After the chaos and upsets of the past three weeks, there was a sense of normalcy this week. We had three games with more than 95% preferring one team. Two of those won. Our consensus was back into double-digits, and it took that to make the first column this week. Since I sort alphabetically, some of the 10s dropped into the second column, and my 9 slid me to the third column this week.

We did have two great scores, thirteen good scores, and a total of forty-three who out-picked our consensus this week. We also had more near the top who missed this week.

Here are the eleven-week players who missed week #12:

1Bullseye, Dcowboys8, Cowboys Win, CowboyOcelot, Glenstorm68, and WilliamC

We also have three ten-week players who missed the past two weeks. I spoke last week about the first miss - ever - for Jebediah Flibberbrush. Well, he missed again this week. Also missing the past two weeks after playing the first ten weeks were FloridaBoys and timani.

There are two nine-week players who have missed the past three weeks. One of them moved to the top of the Pick Accuracy chart by missing the carnage of weeks #10 and 11 - jhcrouch3 and wittenfan.

I point these out because I don't like to see regular participants suddenly disappearing.

At least, Cowboys Win is back. His is the first entry in the (already open) week #13 contest.

Congratulations to Enzzo Jr and lucke for setting the pace this week and to all those atop this week's scoreboard. Well done!

Here are the week #12 scores of all 211 participants:

Our scoreboard has been dominated by two players for half of the season. Either oldboysfan has been on top, revellyre has been on top, or they have been tied. No one else can get within two games of either of them.

I said that last week, and it's still true. They entered week #12 tied at the top, and two games ahead of third place. Until Monday night, that's where they were again. However, oldboysfan picked BAL and moved ahead of the others at the top, who all had CLE. This week, it's revellyre's turn to drop to second place. Millard Fillmore made the biggest move, jumping up into a tie for third with Normrock. Also moving up this week, 1Missouriscowboysfan moved up into a tie for fifth with Aggie Man. The whole scoreboard is beginning to tighten up, as there are thirty-three players within ten of the lead.

Here are the scores from all 819 who have participated at least once this season:

Bleep. I came back on here to fix a small mistake on the scoreboard and wiped out my entire section on Pick Accuracy. Let me reconstruct what I can.

This is way any of you who have missed a week can check to see how your scores measure up against those who have played each week. I calculate it by dividing your total of correct picks by the number of games you entered picks. If you missed a Thursday night game, and O.C.C administered grace by allowing your other picks to count, that one is blank, and doesn't count as wrong.

I don't count picks per week because of byes. One week had thirteen games, one had fifteen games, six had fourteen games, and the other nine (first three, final six) all have sixteen games.

Last year, I included many inactive players, whose infrequent participation allowed for some inflated scores. The more one plays, the more likely he will encounter tough weeks, and not just cherry-pick the "easy" weeks.

This year, I have begun to list everyone who has participated at least 60% of the time and has a pick accuracy of at least 60%. After the rough weeks we just endured, that list has shrunk. After leading most of the season, and being the only one to consistently post a pick accuracy higher than our overall leader, APerfectStar has slipped a bit, and has fallen behind our overall scoreboard leader for the first time since joining in week #3.

Our new leader played the first nine weeks and has disappeared. Congratulations in absentia to jhcrouch3. When he last played, he was in the top ten, but his score has held up as our scores have plummeted. Our second place, Marquis00, is in a similar situation, except he also missed an earlier week. If he doesn't play this week, he will no longer be listed. Eight weeks is enough for 60% participation this week, but it will take nine weeks to make the next two weeks Pick Accuracy tables.

Our consensus score is 106 after twelve weeks. That would make this table, with just a smidgen over 60% accuracy. 105 would not. So, those who have missed time can compare their accuracy and see where they would fit compared to the full-timers.

Here are all sixty-two who have played at least 60% of the weeks, and have gotten at least 60% of their picks right.

Again, I invite you to come back to this page throughout the weekend for my updates (comments) as the other games progress.

Week #13 contest is already open. You do not have to wait for One.Cool.Customer's next contest page to post week #13 picks. Use (and bookmark) the same link you have been provided each week.

Please post your picks before the Thursday game kicks off, or you will miss out on having your picks count for each game.
