Updated: I promise to double check my work from now on. I was rushing again, and copied the HOU/CIN winner (HOU) into the wrong cell in Excel, so everyone who had the Texans winning was 1 win short. I've updated numbers and text.
Last week was another struggle all around, in both predictions, and on-the-field. We the predictors seem to go with how the Colts go, so make sure to do your research, and get those picks correct. We all could use a win around here this week. We had 3 players get 8 9 correct (I told you it was a struggle). They are:
- BetterD (3rd week in a row with at least 9)
- mgrex03 Predictor (Booyah! Now tied for the lead)
- TouchdownMonkey (Now tied for first overall)
The CBS "experts" struggled mightily, with one of them posting a 3 this week. Ouch. Our buddy Bill picked against the Colts again this week, but it obviously didn't help. He got 8 9 right again, so he's moving his way up the leaderboard.
Overall, the Stampede Blue Leaders are as follows after 8 weeks:
| Name | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Week 8 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| shake'n'bake | 8 | 8 | 9 | 6 | 5 | 64 |
| mgrex03 Predictor | 9 | 9 | 5 | 8 | 9 | 64 |

| JakeTheSnake | 5 | 10 | 8 | 8 | 6 | 58 |
| Skywalker | 6 | 7 | 7 | 4 | 7 | 59 |
The results below are (originally) sorted by Total score. Feel free to click on a column header and sort them yourself. I've again separated out the "experts" who just picking straight up winners, to make it easier to read. Also, starting next week, I'm going to attempt to get this up as soon as the lines come out, as the Thursday night games begin already. So look for this on Tuesday, rather than Wednesday.

Crap.
3 weeks in a row with only 5. It occured to me Sunday afternoon after I got my 5th win that it could be a bad omen going into Monday.

Don't Mean To Nitpick...
…but I think your numbers are off by one again. Better D, the predictor, and I all got 9 correct, I believe. I didn’t check everyone’s tallies though.

By my count, my number is right
but yours is shorted one. Weird, it must be a different mistake.
I got
BAL
NYG
KC
CLE
SEA

Dammit, you are right
I really should double check these things. I copied the winner into the wrong cell (HOU/CIN game).
I’ll fix it now. Thanks for finding that. I appreciate all the help.

it's fine
I liked it better when that game didn’t count anyway. Now I have to share first place.

It's updated
And you are tied with a Computer!
It’s much better than me picking.

well maybe I won't have to do more work starting next week
I promised to add my spread picks with reasons to my weekly picks if I was still leading at or after week 10 (forget which)

Carolina
I knew it! I knew it! They have messed me up this whole season. I kept thinking “this is the week they lose” so I’ve gone against them. This week, however, I finally went with them. A half of a point?! They could kick a field goal or something?! I’m never picking them again.Ever.
