I’ll tell you the way my grandmother use to tell us, “ a hard head makes a soft butt”.

I tried to save you from that mistake last week.

Congrats to @ExitFlagger @BScott22 on winning Week 13 with 15 points. I also snuck in there. @boilerzz is now atop the leaderboard. Moderate scores for the week. Most missed Nebraska (which was a great finish, btw). And a decent amount of posters missed on Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Colorado State.

I think I'm going to hold myself to a 48+ hour standard for including games. So, if I don't post games by Sunday, I won't include any Tuesday games. I was kind of wanting to include a pair of Big 12 matchups on Tuesday, but we should be fine; the drop-off to the next 2 games isn't that far.

I may need change my picking strategy to coin flipping. 🤔
 
Congrats to @lurkeraspect84 on winning yet another week! What is that - 4 wins?! The Kentucky faithful took 4 of the top 5 spots this week. @rockycard was, not surprisingly, the only poster who picked Gonzaga. @ExitFlagger jumps ahead on the leaderboard. But, there are several within striking distance.

I feel like there are too many similarities with picks (the biggest difference is mostly the confidence values we assign). So, I'm going to change it up a bit this week. Games won't feature all top 50 teams like they normally do; they'll be centered more on games that are a bit closer to 50-50 than your typical week. No easy picks, IMO.

I'm sure I'll be wrong on this, but recently Butler played @ Creighton and left with a W.

Now a lot of people think Creighton will win @ Butler.

The game was on a Friday. I wonder if the result went somewhat unnoticed. Do most people know that Butler beat Creighton on the road? I'm about to make my pick, and this is a tough one. Hard to go against the team with a higher ceiling, though.

edited my pick to move them up to 6 instead of 3.

I gotta make up ground somewhere. This and double points and forgiveness for the lowest score dropped.

Let's see. It sucks I didn't get those games in. Is what it is. Would make a great comeback story in the history of pick'em.

I'm looking at the last week of the regular season as the next double-points week. Always subject to change, of course. But, we have some great potential games lined up for that week:

Purdue at Illinois
UConn at Marquette
Tennessee at South Carolina
UNC at Duke
Baylor at Texas Tech

Also, first game is tonight . @BScott22 @mikeinknoxville @WeAreDePaul @ThePhog08 @JimboBBN @KisteK
Those games are great, but I get it if you change them. All basically coin flips.
