NFL: Upset of the Week - Week 18 The Grand Finale!!!!!

[PanthersPens62]

And sadly, this iconic & wildly popular contest reaches its conclusion. At this point @Marc the Habs Fan holds a slim 1 game lead at 8-9 with a few folks having 7 wins. If you have 7 wins but missed a week or had picks that ended up not being underdogs you are out of luck! And @GKJ I have no clue what your record is but you deserve major props at the very least for your bold pick of the Cards winning at The Linc!

As for week 18, it is always a crapshoot due to not knowing who will suit up in certain games. Since the Texans are now favored I will have to depend on The Hockey Stick living up to his nickname & not even being able to beat the KC Scrubs. REVISED official pick:

Chiefs over Chargers

Chargers favored by 3 & 1/2

I don’t trust some of these lines yet until we know who is playing. I want to pick against the Eagles again but if they rest people, that line will flip.

Much better than last year's fiasco. I had an awful middle of the season but won 4 out of last 5 games. Congrats to the champ.

 

[PanthersPens62]

Looks like @Marc the Habs Fan and myself will share the 2023 Upset contest title with 8-10 records & with @GKJ, who has not posted his season record, getting a very honorable mention for picking 2 monster upsets in the final 2 weeks!

 

[GKJ]

I’ll figure it out eventually.

[SwordsgoneWild]

OT - Who has the best chance at a upset in the Playoffs? Going to pick Rams even though I picked the Lions in the other thread. I know people will probably pick the Bucs but I think Philly barely wins it in Tampa on Monday.
