How far into the season can we start needling Stampede Blue readers about getting beat by a Coin Flip? If it is after 3 weeks, then I'm going to run off and hide, as I'm 2 games behind my trusty coin. There are also 4 "experts" who have less picks correct, and 2 others that are tied at 31/48. Make sure to take a look at the Straight Up standings to see if you are as embarrassed as I am right now. Don't count anyone who missed a week, as they will clearly be behind the coin.
This week we had 84 players pick in the Straight Up contest, and congratulations go out to 3 players, who all got 14 games right:
- Gmachine!
- jammer6303
- JustinPugh
Overall after 3 weeks, here's the Stampede Blue Readers Leaderboard:

There are so many players this year, it's going to be tough making up a bad week, so make sure to get your picks in, and make sure they are not the same as mine. Or just flip a coin, since it's not doing half bad.
Full Standings are after the jump. I'll give Shake the link to the picks to post on Sunday, as I'll be in the 300 Level of Lucas Oil Stadium. I can't wait.
