Week 13 Pick 'em Contest w/Leaderboard

The rankings this week remain quite similar to last. Although revellyre is once again bivouacked in 1st, Rohpuri bettered the leader's score by a point this week, narrowing revellyre's edge on the playing field to the narrowest of margins. Benthere and RoSHa maintain their snapping turtle-like hold on 3rd and 4th again this week. Max2 lands in 5th through twelve weeks of play, but he's sharing space with a new co-pilot this go-round. Making the biggest leap of all the players this week to embark in that two-way tie for 5th is Upfront, who put on a 14-2 exhibition last week, the best score your intrepid host has seen since he first began competing in these contests back in 2011. With that Nostradamus-like bit of predictive perspicuity, Upfront lived up to his sobriquet, at least for a week. republic_Of_TEXAS slips a rung to 7th in the rankings, maragath falls two spots to 8th, Gregory Regularly maintains his hold on 9th, j-man is still affixed to the 10th spot with crazy glue-like tenacity, Rajohnn's calling 11th his home away from home, The Senthnicity's rest stop seems to be in 12th, and meisternance moves up a spot to unlucky number thirteen, with the transient challenger, Cowboybaby, decamping from Pick 'em existence, altogether, this season. See ya next year, CB :) Our mean score this season, through twelve weeks of play, is 108, or about 61% predictive accuracy. Consider anything above 60% correct in picking something as volatile and inherently unpredictible as an NFL football game a fairly adroit ability. If you're above that number, ask someone close by for a pat on the back. You've earned it! But if you're on the demeritorious side of the ledger, there's still time for improvement; however, the hourglass is rapidly emptying on the 2016 campaign.
