Results page has been added:

Also, one minor update:

The actual picks page now shows you the game's winner/loser, so you can see which picks you hit without having to go to the results page. The winner is highlighted in green above the team who won, with the loser being highlighted in red. And the one is highlighted in blue is the one you picked:


Again, probably something I should have had in place five years ago when I did this, but, you know, better late than never
 
This has been updated:

Congratulations to @Scotty, who held on against @Turkamu , @Steve102 , and @jboston19 with the lowest differential, as all four finished a perfect 16-0 for this week. Unbelievable job by all of you, especially given a few of the surprises from week 13.
Unbelievable, nothing in 5 years of trying and then 2 wins in 3 months.

@Ian ...where do you want your cheque , in the usual Swiss Bank Account ?
 
Congrats 16-0 peoples
 
You guys @ 16-0, great job.
 


16-0. Still lost. That's sumbullchit.

good job @Scotty

EDIT: @mike_usagisan feel like I need the undefeated banner as a profile pic now.

I went back and looked, and this is the first time multiple people have ever hit 16-0 in a given week. As a result, I did create a banner given that a group hitting all 16 games is unprecedented and does need to be noted.

We've had people who have won the week picking 16-0, but they were the only people to do it for that week. @DarrylS did it to start this season and won Week 1, but the last time anyone actually picked 16-0 before that was back in 2020 in Week 17, and @Husse won that week. Each of those two obviously has a winner banner.

We had multiple people pick 14-0 back in Week 6 of this season, with @p8ryts , @irishfanatic , @oceansizer , @patsfanfromoversea , @Raedwulf , @masterbouncer , and @Uncle Rico all pulling that off - which was also bananas and a first here for that many people going perfect in a given week. The last time multiple people were perfect before that was in week 8 of 2019, four people did it (@Tunescribe , @MrTibbs , and @rochrist were among that group), and that was 15-0.

Granted, the tiebreaker comes into play for the outright winner, but I felt like it made sense for this one not to just fall off the ledge, considering just how incredible it is for multiple people to pick that many games correctly and to do it together. Multiple people going 16-0 is remarkable, and it's now noted in your profiles - kind of a cool club to be in, given that you all did it the same week.

Lol, I was thinking that I had a great week and might finish first . . . .

And I wasn't even close, or remotely near that conversation.

Congrats to the master prognosticators!

Those are some cool and interesting facts. More importantly, I can upload Tywin back to his rightful place.

The odds of one person going 16-0 are pretty low. To get 4 though...I dunno man...too much randomness in the NFL.
