Didn’t I miss another week somewhere along the line?
No. I was saying that I’d be fine if you were to make double picks this week. But if someone objected, and you miss a week, it won’t ruin your standing for the season, since the worst week is dropped anyway.
Spreadsheet up. Get your Thursday picks in now if you have any - you can pick any Sunday picks later.
Omni, go ahead and make double picks this week and I’ll put one set as last week’s score. I don’t want to make a habit of it but I’d rather keep the competition viable.
Nevermind.

Week 12 Picks
Tony Romo
Rashard Mendenhall
Steve Smith 1.0
Weird, I had the week 11 stuff updated in the spreadsheet and now it’s gone, wtf. It reverted to an earlier version of the file or something.
Well, anyway, it’s updated now, sorry.
Matt Ryan
Matt Forte
Roddy White
So I’m doing basically the same thing I did last week - pick a QB/WR combo against the Minnesota defense, and it ended horribly last time. Oh well.
My week would look a lot better if White hadn’t let a bomb slip through his fingers, but so far Ryan at 262 and White at 120 is pretty solid.
262/2 + 87 + 74 = 292

I’m leading all categories. Woo.
Brees
Blount
Calvin Johnson
I feel kinda weird about those picks because I was specifically saving Brees and Johnson for the last 2 or 3 weeks, when the weather would be the worst. But I feel like that game is gonna be result in big yardage numbers and I can’t resist doing it now. This probably means I’ll end up starting Joe Flacco in a blizzard for 49 yards though.
FFS, so many pundits had Blount projected to have a big day. I almost picked Chris Johnson… again.

Meh… Not worth blowing my big guns.
