Battle for Division Champs and nobody is a sure thing yet and same with the Wild Cards
Remember the week 18 Rules.............The Hedge Rule
In order to discourage a participant from hedging bets in an effort to lock up a favorable playoff position (Divisional Championship), the Bookie Challenge will implement the "Hedge Rule" on the FINAL WEEKEND OF THE REGULAR SEASON ONLY.
On the final weekend of the regular season, any participant holding the following status: divisional or "at large" wild card, and who has a five point or less lead over their nearest competitor(s) for those playoff berths, cannot select duplicate best bet(s) picks from a trailing participant who has already posted their selections. In addition, a divisional leader or an "at large" wild card cannot duplicate an entire 3-Team Parlay combination posted by any participant who trails them by seven points or less.
Of course, the Hedge Rule applies to a divisional leader or an "at large" wild card only if the trailing participant has posted his/her selections first. However, if a divisional leader or an "at large" wild card posts their selections first, the Hedge Rule does not apply should any best bet picks or entire parlays eventually result in duplicated picks from a participant trailing them by seven points or less.
Any participant found to be in violation of the Hedge Rule will have any duplicated best bet(s) or duplicate 3-Team Parlay voided and counted as a loss.

Congrats to all you Texan pickers......the Colts getting handed a win and wtf do they do???
Screw up as usual.
And congrats to Sonny for his instant Perfecta 5 that is RARE
AND FIRST Division Champion of the season so you get the extra points for that too (3 bonus points )
Two more Divisions left and the 3 Wildcard winners
(I think I will skip watching the games tomorrow after watching that Colts debacle)
Get your picks in Lizzard
