While this isn't 2020 anymore (thankfully!) this is still the 2020 TAT NFL Challenge. Here's the place to talk about it.

Shtexas had the highest score outside of week 2 with 127 in week 17, and cut ponchi101's lead to 17 points going into the playoffs.

About the scoring:
So, as we can lose points from game we called incorrectly, we can even end up losing points for the week? This weekend, for example, if somebody picks ALL six games wrong, s/he can lose 105 points. Correct?
Also: with the SB worth 90 points, a lot of people will be in the run. I recommend that that last pick (and maybe even conference finals) be sent via PM. After all, if somebody is ahead by 45 points the temptation to simply pick the same team as the #2 player will be considerable.

Yes, and sounds good about sending the pick via PM.

If nothing else, this will surely make the playoffs more interesting.

And I thought a 17 points lead after the regular season would be good enough :cry:

Sure. But you are at home against a QB with a broken thumb, or another guy that nobody had heard of until last week. They were the pick.
I know the Rams defense is good, but this is one true upset.
Then again, the Colts lost because of one missed FG, and one greedy decision by the coach. The games seem to be fun (down here, the local programming is so off my grid say they are showing BAL/TEN. And they are showing Argie football, of course).

These teams are killing me. Alex Smith supposed to be active, every report was that he'd be the startet, then ruled inactive a few hours after everything locks. Jared Goff wasn't supposed to play, strictly a backup and they made that even seem unlikely cause he's got like screws in his thumbs or something because he just had surgery. Played nearly the entire game after the scary injury.

I'm down points for sure, but there barely a way not to be. The Washington pick was a long shot even with Alex, so no big loss. But at this rate, I'm expecting Kevin Stefanski to be on the field coaching tomorrow.

The Rams have been impossible to pick all year. Oh well good to see I’m still in regular season form!

Indeed. That loss to the Jets, then they cream somebody else.
I felt it was going to be a close game because Pete Carroll is bent on running the ball as opposed to letting Russell throw, but that was a pretty lame effort. And although they won 6 of their last 7, they were not looking good. The moment Russell dropped his level, it was really noticeable.

I guess we're getting a new leader. Browns fans are going to be particularly insufferable if they win tonight. Even worse than they've been the last few months and all last season, which is saying something.
