Despite picking over 82% of the games correctly in Week 7, the model once again had a hard time with the Pick ‘Em games, going 4-6. Ouch. Of the 6 upsets, none did more damage than Plano’s win over Hebron; as a group, we lost an average of 31 points off our score on that one alone. jc84chill was the only one to correctly pick Plano in that one, continuing to show us how it’s done.
The chaos on the field gave us our first bit of chaos in our contest. baylordad has overtaken ClearSpringsFan62 who has led the competition from Week 1. baylordad has posted three straight weeks of positive scores, something only two others have done (TNGJosh and Tut), while ClearSpringsFan62 has posted back to back negative point weeks. To date, only three contestants (plus two TNG staffers) have managed to beat the computer, but there will be plenty of opportunities over the last four weeks of the contest.
