🏈 Week 15 Pick’em Recap

Week 15 rewarded patience, punished hesitation, and firmly reminded everyone that late-season form matters.
Favorites largely delivered, blowouts were common, and the players who avoided “cute” picks surged up the standings.
While Thursday night opened with immediate chaos, the rest of the slate quickly separated sharp cards from risky ones.

The week ended under the lights on Monday Night Football, where Pittsburgh handled Miami and locked in the tiebreaker total — sealing the podium order.

MNF Total: 43 points (Steelers 28 – Dolphins 15).
The tiebreaker played a role in sorting the top three.
