I alluded to this last week, but at this point I think we can concede the group title to Adam. While we each dominated Joe, with me sweeping our three disputed games and Adam taking four of five, Adam and I split our six disputed games for Week 17. The result is that Adam has a lead that, unless I cheat, go contrarian over the final 16 games, then get absurdly lucky, he's winning this thing. And I won't do that, so early on, congratulations to him.
Adam celebrated (I guess), with a long trip back home to Dallas, so due to that I only have his teams for this week, so we'll skip the writeups for Week 18. Joe has not provided them to me as of Friday night, but his will be added if I get them ahead of kickoff.
You can view how we've all picked in relation to each other here. Adam missed his lone hero pick of Week 17 for a change, so his barb over text about skill did not carry over into the small Week 17 sample size while I hit on my lone one. As a group, we've hit at about a 59 percent clip on hero picks, though Adam does buoy that fairly heavily with his 19-8 mark in such games; the rest of us combine for a 31-27 record. The other stat line to help explain Adam's lead comes from split decisions, where Adam has the best mark to help boost his stock. Meanwhile, we went 0-3 on consensus picks, keeping us just above .500 for the year.
For our final go this season, Adam and I disagree on four games out of 16. Let's get to it!
