Well, I took it upon myself to try to make this a little more competitive, or at least give everyone else a shot at first place, and I must say, I’m fairly satisfied with my redemptive victory last week. Matthew destroyed me in week 2, as you’ll remember, but I was able to get back two of the points he gained with an 8-6 victory. The big key was Matt losing on his “Lock of the Week” (despite the Colts winning the game) and me just scraping by on mine (Baltimore (-12) over Cleveland). After 10 weeks of fun, here are our standings:

Matthew +4
Jim +3
Kristen +2
David -1
Chris -1
Harry -1
Amanda -3
Ryan -6

This week is another intriguing matchup, as Kristen looks to hypothetically lock up a bid in our Week 17 title game. To do that, she’ll have to stop my 5 week winning streak. (As a sort of side note, I’d like to thank Kristen for making these picks, as Matt did last week, on very short notice. I really appreciate it.)
