Ok guys and gals. We've reached Week 17. For some teams, playoff fates will be determined this coming Sunday. For others, like the Steelers, there are opportunities to play the role of spoiler. Who knows what's going to happen this final weekend. Good luck picking winners. Week 17 games will be posted tomorrow.

It's still anybody's game. A perfect week by anybody in the 70s might be enough to take home the $100.

Hope everyone's had fun with the contest. I look forward to seeing who finishes it off this weekend.

GO Steelers! Knock the Bengals out of the playoffs!

And a shout-out to me!

Roxtar's Labrador Retrievers are inaugural champs of the World Champion Pittsburgh Steelers fantasy football league. Steeltown 30 nipped the Labs in the final week of the regular season, breaking a tie atop the Central division and relegating the Pups to the wild card. The Dawgs had their day in the semis, behind Ladanian Thomas and marvin harrison, turning the tables on Scott Schilling's Steeltown crew.

In the championship matchup, the Retrievers got a great game from their wide receivers, and prevailed over Western Division champs Yinzerville by a final tally of 98-69.

Labs' owner Keith Hart, smoking a cigar in his luxury skybox after the game, offered to put up the prize for next season.

bring it on, beeyatches

actually, you won't need to bring it that hard because two of my last three weeks i stunk up the joint. here's hoping i can correct that this last weekend.

blitzburgh: what happens if we have a tie? a very likely possibility....

Tie

Maybe the people in a tie should just pick all the wildcard games?

That makes sense

In case of a tie, we go to the Wild Card round of the playoffs?

Alternatively, we could have a tiebreaker game where everyone picks the score this week.

Blitz?

tie

Picking scores always seem so arbitrary. I think the game (if it were to end in a tie) should be based on the same thing that it was based on throughout, picking winners.
