Week 9 had possibly the biggest surprise of the season, with Tampa Bay beating the Packers, but that didn't get by all Stampede Blue readers. Two people correctly picked the Bucs, which I never would have expected. Nobody ended up picking the Texans or Redskins either, which ended up correct. The other big surprise was only 10/51 correctly picking the Cowboys over the Eagles.
To save some room on the front page, check out the winners and leaderboards after the jump...
This week Against the Spread we had a whole slew of people get 9 games correct. They are:
- bluegirl

Congrats to all of you. The real winner was the Underdogs, who went 10/13, but I like giving people the weekly award. The leaderboard after 9 weeks:

Next week I'll be adding the Adjusted Power Rankings into the mix. Also this week THERE IS A GAME THURSDAY NIGHT THIS WEEK (I'm making this as obvious as possible). As we did last year, feel free to put your pick as a comment in this thread if you don't want to pick all the game before Sunday. Make sure you specify whether it is ATS or SU. If you miss Thursday night, you can still pick the rest of the game on Sunday. Just get them in before the games start. I'll be around on Sunday with the link for everyone's picks.
