Week 8 tightened the season standings with no player clearing double digits for the first time this year. Upsets, trap games, and a low-scoring Monday Night doubleheader made every point count.
MNF Total: 35 points (Washington 24 – Kansas City 11).
The tiebreaker once again decided placement, separating the top four finishers by fewer than 15 points.🏆 Top Finishers

5️⃣ melmoe85 — 7 correct picks | TB Guess 43 (Δ 8)
🧮 How Ties Are Broken
1️⃣ Tiebreaker Guess: Closest to the combined Monday Night total (35) ranks higher.
2️⃣ Earliest Submission: If still tied, the earlier entry takes precedence.
Keep those MNF totals realistic — it’s already swung three weeks this season!
📊 Week 8 Game Notes
- 🐬 Miami’s win over Atlanta was the week’s biggest burn — no one had it right (0/8 correct).
- 🪓 Houston’s surprise over San Francisco caught nearly everyone off guard (only 1 player got it).
- 🦀 Baltimore and New York Jets wins each fooled three-quarters of the field (6 misses each).
- 👑 Kansas City’s MNF victory over Washington sealed the week for our leaders and set the tiebreak total at 35.
- 🧀 Green Bay, Buffalo, and Philadelphia were the most common locks — each picked correctly by 6 or more.
