🏈 Week 7 Pick’em Recap

Week 7 was another tight race with several shocking upsets shaking up the board. Only a handful of players cracked double-digit wins as defenses ruled the weekend and a few coin-flip games decided everything.

MNF Total: 47 points (DAL 24 – NYG 23). Once again, the tiebreaker was the deciding factor at the top of the leaderboard.

📊 Week 7 Game Notes

• 📺 The week closed out with a full Monday Night Football double-header:
  • Early: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Detroit Lions — Lions delivered a dominant 24–9 victory. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
  • Late: Houston Texans at Seattle Seahawks — Seahawks secured a 27–19 win despite some turnover issues. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• 🔍 These primetime games likely had a major impact on the leaderboard — with tiebreaker guesses hinging on the total points scored across both contests.
• 🧩 In the early game, Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs exploded for 218 scrimmage yards (136 rushing, 82 receiving), underscoring Detroit’s clear control. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
• 🚨 The late game saw the Texans lose the turnover battle, yet the Seahawks managed to hold on — making this one less predictable than many expected. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
• 🎯 With many players missing one or both MNF picks or mis-guessing the total, those leaderboard gaps closed fast this week.
