Incoming champ

Will gladly go for it again, charity aspect kept into it all last season as I tend to lose interest in these types of things after a while.
Have a feeling I'll be brought firmly back down to earth this year, any risk I took last year seemed to pay off. Beginner's luck is a great thing! Will happily donate €20 to the nominated charity come January. Will get myself set up in the next week or so.

Also, just in case anybody is put off by the 20euro thing. It's not a buy in. This is a free league that is just a bit of fun. The more the merrier, really.

Bloody Vikings! If not for them I'd have got all results right this weekend. Not the scores though, and I'm a long way behind.

Feck it anyway, was 2 points off the lead after week 17. Only back from skiing yesterday and forgot to make picks. Have predicted all the games right until now also in the game thread. There goes any hope of winning this year..

So with one game to go, here's who remains in the hunt:

adrian522 246.97
phatkev 246.80
Lukaku talking 245.15
JuanPab79 244.56

For the superbowl, you earn 3 points for the win with another 0.5 points possible for picking the correct margin within 5 points. There is also a maximum 1 bonus point for picking the closest margin between all entrants.

Still salty about missing the wildcard picks! Probably wouldn't have won anyway as I went 0 for 2 in the champo round. Anyway, charity donation:
