The 3rd Annual BoSox Tavern NFL Pick ‘Em Challenge is
in the books and the 2013 Champion is the main, hairy mane Mainer from the
Great Republic of Maine—Zeb Pike! Over
the 17 week season, Herr Pike tallied 165 points, or 165 correct game picks. He didn’t run away with it, however, there
was stiff competition from Brent and Mike, who came in close 2nd and
3rd with 163 and 161 wins, respectively.
The rest of the field included Robbie with 148 points for 4th
place, George with 144 (5th), Aaron with 142 (6th), and Rick
and Tom pulling up the rear, both tied for 7th with 140 points each.
We also decided to take the challenge into the playoffs with each
participant picking the winner of each round, through the Super Bowl, up front—we
didn’t pick each week. We added Ellery
to the playoff mix, and the winner in a tie breaker was Aaron with 6 wins. Both Aaron and Zeb had six playoff wins, but
Aaron wins in the tie breaker, for successfully picking the Seahawks to win the
Super Bowl.
And like the true New
Englander he is, Zeb picked the Boston Patriots to win every week during the regular
season, and again throughout the playoffs!
(Either this guy is a true “homer” or he thinks he had some inside dope
that he didn’t share with his buds!)
While we turn our “Pick ‘Em” attention to the Olympics, we
look forward to next year!!!

Bwahahaha, love the humor. I can't see how I could ever pick against the Pats. They were good enough to win every week, that's all; and my heart wasn't into pick against them in the playoffs.
Great job as always, G. Love it.
Thanks G. You are da man!
Thanks for keeping score, G!
Next year, I'm going to try to track some more additional stats like the number of underdog picks, the number of home/away wins, and the percentage of "homer" wins!
