One week to go, and each contest will come down to the final week to crown its champion. Week 16 saw quite a few upsets again, much like Week 15. Some of the biggest upsets:
- Only 2/49 picked Tampa Bay over New Orleans
- Only 4/49 picked Carolina over New York Giants
- Only 8/49 picked Chicago over Minnesota
I decided not to include the Jets beating the Colts, since it probably wouldn't have happened had the starters actually played through the end of the game.
In the Against the Spread contest, we had 5 winners last week, each getting 10/16 games correct. They are:
- bobzilla3
- MrNFL
- Shimn
- soccerman719
- TouchdownMonkey
Congratulations to all of you! Our leaderboard going into the final week looks like this:

Like I said, both contests are very much still in question, with the Against the Spread contest closer than the Straight Up. Get your picks in early!
Below you'll see the full leaderboard. No early games this week, so no need to make any picks in this thread. Also, I'll be doing the Playoff Fantasy Football Picks again this year, so start your preparation now. Expect it either Monday or Tuesday.
