New Year's Eve Update

League-

Good morning to you all. Please excuse the delay on the posting today.

Yesterday was an up and down day for many in the league as close finishes and suprise endings characterized the day. There were some big swings during the day that were incredibly impactful on the scoring of the League. If the next couple of days hold the same drama as yesterday, we are in for a great finish. Here are some of the highlights:

• Last nights Nebraska game became the lowest scoring game in the history of the CFGL. 88 of 798 points were converted, an 11.2% rate. When the whole League loses a game like this it has less impact, but it hits individuals hard. 13 people had more than 30 points on the game, including, Wilson, WinMonster, Holy Trinity, and $ituation who were all in the middle of a solid run. Only Seminole 26, Hammes, The Oven, and iBlink were able to convert points on Washington.



• The UNC/Tennessee game had wild swing at the finish and had a giant impact on the League. Flute with no Holes, Pigskin Whisperer, and Head Detective, recieved a gift win when time was added to the clock so that UNC could put a field goal on the board on the last play of the game.



• Kansas State was penalized on what would have been the game tying two point conversion and that cost Dee's Pimpin', Hammes and Bizzem a HUGE day. Shaman got his only win of the day courtesy of the controversial call as he struggles to put together any momentum this bowl season.



• Army upset SMU and Pigskin Whisps and Vandelay were the only two to call that one. The Whisperer converted the moneyline and has won a total of 20 points on moneylines this season.

The day yesterday absolutely hammered a number of folks. Prestige Worldwide was crushed by an 0-4 day that totaled 62 points. Dr. Green Thumb and Aunt Betty both were brought back to earth without a win and big point losses on the day.

An emerging storyline of the League is the futility of Hack Attack and Ramrod. Not only did each of them net zero points yesterday, but they have combined to score just 94 of 513 points this bowl season. Ramrod lost his 34, 32, and 23 yesterday as he fell to just a 16% conversion rate and now threatens the all time lowest conversion in League Bowl Season. Hack Attack has outscored Ramrod by 6 points and has lost six of his last seven picks.

As we start the New Year's Eve games start, La Maquina has a strong lead over Chief, Aunt Betty and Mile High. It is Cinderella Story who is lurking in second highest % correct and has more potential points than our leader. Coach, Mamacita, and The Oven still have the most points remaining so they continue to be a threat.

Enjoy the games and look for an early update on tomorrow.

12.30 Scoreboard and Picks

Ladies and Gentlemen of the League-

Yesterday went a long way towards crowning our bowl season champion. As intended, Scaga dropped all three games after being nearly cannonized in the update yesterday. His losses included his 34 point game as he went against the grain and picked Arizona to stay with Oklahoma St. Only Scaga, Hammes, Mile High, Seminole 26, Skinny Dip, and Vandelay lost the Alamo Bowl as over 85% of points risked were converted in that game. Scaga once again proved that a shout out in the update is a curse for at least the day as he joins Vandelay Industries as the only two to go 0-for yesterday.

In the vein of cursing competitors, Holy Trinity scored three big wins and a total of 61 points converted. This jumps them into third overall with over 73% converted.

La Maquina has made the leap from #2 to #1 with a 3 for 3 and 73 total points yesterday. Dr. Green Thumb was smoking yesterday...and he converted all three games in the League too. And Head Detective is finally finding a clue, converting 43 points to move him up the standings.

Coach, Prestige Worldwide, TP3, WinMonster 5K, Sam-Bean-O, and Dr. GT all had the ultimate faith in Oklahoma St. and converted their 35 point game on the Cowboys.

Today it is Primetime and Chief that have the most on the line with the point totals slowly increasing as we approach the New Year's Eve and Day picks. These next three days could be make or break for the Oven, Shaman, Mamacita, and the First Lady.

Best of luck to all of you-

12.29 Scoreboard

League-

We are now eleven games into the bowl season and are eagerly anticipating the remaining 24 games on the schedule. Though some of the matchups have been tough to call, there are certainly emerging stories on the scoreboard.

The biggest story of the first 11 games is the complete domination of picks by Scaga. Scaga is showing us the monster in his pants with an unbelievable and unprecedented conversion rate on his picks thus far. Scaga has scored 187 of 205 (over 91%) risked points and is threatening to run away with the bowl season title. As a past winner Scaga has demonstrated the ability to prognosticate with the best of them in this format, but this season he is in line to pull off one of the greatest feats in league and gambling history. Never has a competitor had such a high correct percentage this deep into the contest. A few things to note about this historic run:

• If Scaga continues to score at this rate, he would end up with 573 points and would break the all-time bowl season record for points by almost 200 points.


• The highest bowl season % correct was set by The First Lady in 2006 when she converted over 65% of her points. In order to break that mark, Scaga would have to convert just 51% of his remaining points (222). This would also make him the first player ever to score more than 400 points.


• Second place Aunt Betty's Fried Chicken has scored a phenomenal 78.4% of his points and if the conversion rates stayed the same, Scaga would still win the season by a whopping 82 points.

The League is in hopes that simply hyping up this 11 game run will jinx Scaga for the remainder of the games and his fall from the top will be historic as well.

The Scoreboard shows us other great stories such as AB's Fried Chicken and La Maquina showing an incredible start that has threatened to make this a three piece meal, or three man race for the top spot. The Oven continues a quiet run as she remains in the top 3 of highest possible totals. She has converted a modest 60% of her points and still has the most points remaining. In fact, all three ladies of the League have saved their high point games for late in the season and that makes them all very dangerous.

On the other end of the scoring spectrum, we find the regular season champion Primetime struggling at less than 30% correct. His amazing regular season run was full of parlay bonuses and that has not translated to wins in the post season. At the bottom with Primetime is rookie competitor and top 5 finisher, Carolina Fire Ants. His conversion rate is just 33% and he is having some obvious trouble picking winners as he is just 3 for the first 11 picks.

As amazing a story as Scaga's first 11 games are, it may not be as phenomenal as the streak being put together by Team Ramrod. Ramrod has converted12 of 134 points for a despicable 9% conversion. A division winner in the regular season, Ramrod has absolutely shit the bed through the first 11 games. He has won three single-digit games and lost his 33 and 31 point game. If he continues to score at 9%, he would finish the bowl season at around 57 points. Scaga scored 62 with his first four picks. At this success rate, he will pick 9 games correctly out of 35. Ouch.

There are three games today, four tomorrow, four on Friday, and New Year's Day has six for us.
From here on out, you will receive a daily update with scoreboard with the exception of January 2nd, which has no bowl games.

Enjoy the football that remains today.

SEASON SEVEN IS THE RIGHT TIME FOR PRIMETIME AS HE FENDS OFF SITUATION FOR FIRST LEAGUE TITLE

Adorned with Oakley blades and business casual attire, the accountant from South Beach doesn’t resemble a stone cold killer at first blush. But, Primetime delivered a 60-point deathblow during Championship Week to bag his first CFGL title. The five-year vet struggled early this season posting back-to-back zeros in Week 3 and 4. Then the improbable happened, as he followed up his shitball weeks with back-to-back 4 team parlays that earned him 179 points. From there, Primetime battled with CFGL legend Prestige Worldwide all year to finally bring home the West Valley and the CFGL title. Prestige, for all his efforts, stays at #3 overall after posting a strong 45.

The most impressive performance of the week goes to Situation, as he comes up with a League-high 75. The boner of a week pops him up to #2 overall as he finally surpasses Carolina Fire Ants to take home the Big Canyon title. Despite letting the conference and the League slip through his hands, Fire Ants finishes fourth in his CFGL debut after solid picks all season long.

In the West Atlantic, The WinMonster 5000 all but had the conference and #5 spot locked down. Unfortunately, it proved to be more monster than win as a final week meltdown kept the door open for Mile High. The fiery ginger took advantage too, and left the Commissioner in a cloud of smoke with a conference-high 70. In the Southern Plateau, Aunt Betty’s wings gets clipped and keeps him from taking the conference title.

In the NE Heights, The Shaman nearly shits the bed with a 15-point week but is able avert disaster despite Mr. Kasey Johnson's 70. The Shaman grabs his second straight conference title heading into the bowl season as the Oven and Mr. KJ both finish just 4 points back.

In one of the most inspiring stories of the year, The Holy Trinity walks on the Midwest Shore waters, as they post a 55 to win the conference. Trinity’s pilgrimage went from fourth in the conference last week, all the way to the top. Hack Attack, La Maquina and Scaga helped facilitate the Holy miracle as the Lord widely ignored their prayers on Championship Week.

Hell of a Season 7, the League thanks you all for participating and loves you more than you’ll ever know.

Bowl Season spreads and instructions will follow shortly.

Love,

Commish and Deeds

Championship Week

Ladies and Gentlemen-
