The Fall Classic is upon us, Cleveland Indians versus the Chicago Cubs. Watch as all the script writers embellish upon the perfect underdog story.
But you don’t care about all that. Not when there’s $100 on the line. You want to know where you stand in our season-long pick ‘em contest. I can’t say I blame ya’.
We saw some more shuffling at the top with one contestant taking a giant leap for NFL-kind. Nice work, Fibbsy. Even yours truly has found his way into positive points. Don’t call it a comeback. I’ve been here for years.
Here are our latest standings. The number in parentheses is how many weeks you’ve entered. Remember, you need ten to qualify.

Alright, everyone is in up to this point.
And I gotta tell ya’, I don’t have a feel for any of these games.
So I’m gonna adopt a little “strategery” of my own and since I’m hot, take the week off of picks.
I’m sure I’ll be kicking myself but there’s nothing at all above that I feel in any way confident about.
Good luck, gang.
5. Bengals
