If it is you CH then CONGRTULATIONS!!! You have been off the charts. I honestly did not think anyone would have a shot at 64 or 65 points. We have the same proxy. He's done a great job for me and I will use him again next year. Good luck this week even though you don't really need it.

Here is my question:  Can you all please post other NFL handicapping contests you know about either online and free/open to all, or requiring a proxy on the ground in Vegas, as with the Super Contest and Stations Great Giveaway etc etc .... so please share what you know so that we can all participate in them in the future too. I only know of the Stations Casino contest, the Super Contest, and those fun pigskin pickem contests from SiriusXM NFL Radio, the ESPN and CBS online contests, and of course the Covers.com contest ... and one other in Vegas that I chose not to enter, but cannot remember the name of it. So what is out there? Thanks so much!!!!
Thanks for the kind words Footballsmart. I have enjoyed your posts and contributions. I have no info on other contest but if I get any I will let you know.
Also wanted to say Good Luck to Jason again as he has a real shot to get in the top 30 or win the mini contest

DAL (21-0 took WAS!)

AZ (6-0 took SF)

and one of these:

HOU (6-2 took JAX)

DET (8-4 took GB)

NYG (10-6 took PHI)


This comment everyone should make a note

BTW my 2 fav picks are Packers and Raiders. Detroit just doesn't put up points and GB will at home against any defense so I don't see them keeping up. I think this is the biggest fav Ive been on all year long at 7.5 but I might make it my biggest wager in a while.
I don't know if it will get better but Mannings arm did not look like that of an NFL qb last week. I think 2 of his 4 picks were on 8 or 10 yard out routes that just didn't have the strength. Also raiders are trending upward

Congrats and good luck CH! Your run has been astounding. I am curious how you have done in previous years in the contest. While I must respect your amazing talent, there also has to be some significant blind fortune for what you have done this year, don't you think?

5.  Steelers -3.5

20.  Chargers +3
 
Those are my real picks and contest picks - no game strategy this week since I am out of both the mini contest and the overall.

Van will you be posting your plays for the playoffs as well?

Hell of a nice job CH_Ballers, you are obviously deserving of the crown. Best performance in the contest, ever. Way to raise the bar higher for future contestants.

4-1 this week, 51-34 overall.

I cant complain about that.  Last season I had 53.5 points and came in 9th, this season I don't think that is in the top 50.  Crazy.

But great year personally, and I cant complain about the contest either.

Cant wait until next season.  If that is really CH Ballers - congrats - great run.  Awesome stuff.

Support your local animal shelter. I am on twitter.

Good job Van! I think you and Jason both got 51 points. Looks like your 53.5 points would of still cashed this year, I think 22nd. I fizzled out at the end but looking back as tough as the competition was if I had gone 11-4 over the last 3 weeks I would of cashed. Didn't think that would of been the case. Anyway congrats to you on two impressive years back to back.

CH ballers finished with 64.5 points which obliterated the previous record.

I thought that a lot of competitors would hit 60 but guys started to regress to the mean at the end.

Vegas Matty told me 54-56 would guarantee in the money and it looks like he was right.

Congrats to all competitors.

My pleasure RichieRich97! You were great. 

This forum made the contest a whole lot more fun. I have a feeling that CH Ballers' amazing season this year will not be matched for another 20 years. It was off the charts insane and should become the benchmark for future pursuits. 

I went out with a flash, finishing a strong 4-1 and 44-41 overall, nowhere near cashing, but happy to get over that .500 mark with a statement. I am thrilled about next year's contest.

Vegas Matty charged $300 plus 2% of winnings.

Since CH Ballers was a 4 man team I wonder how they will split that up?

Richie, Larry is an excellent proxy!  We'll be meeting him to thank him for his efforts soon.

Van - always respect your opinion and 60% is nothing to sneeze at!
