2 weeks into PTW and I can't believe I am already 16 points behind the leader... and the leader is c4ndlelight ?? Damn, in 2018 c4ndlelight couldn't pick his nose correctly and now he's that far out in front of me in 2019!! To make matters worse @allamerican11 is even ahead of me!! If you look at Shhhhhhh's voter ballot and who he has in his top 15 you have to wonder how he can even make picks in PTW to be ahead of anyone! HTH is trainermch ahead of me? I think she probably let her dog make her picks!! LMAO!! Looking at my score and seeing who I'm tied with ( Fight On! & vup ) I'm floating in a mindless sea of mediocrity!! SERENITY NOW!!!!!!! Well @allamerican11 is just trying to copy my picks, so now I’m having to edit them at the last minute to hide my true intentions. I just love your picks!! Don’t deprive me of their value, you clairvoyant genius!! But a reverse-psychology tailspin is my niche so I would advise concocting a different counter-strategy.

Thank god for alphabetizing, or I'd be sitting at the bottom of the list. Haha.

Um, maybe we should do reverse alpha to keep vbprisoner and vup happy, lol Meanwhile, check out the new format on the OP and first reply on this thread such that weekly results are combined with the previous separate cumulative contest results, etc. thread. So keep commenting on this thread as all VT'ers did on daily matches in each previous week's contest thread. And keep posting comments on cumulative results. Finally, what do you think of this combined format? It is pinned to show or link to all PTW contests and it does not take up the space that 2-4 other PTW pinned-then-taken-down threads previously took up.

It has been pretty well documented that one's first intuitive pick is more likely correct than a change. Buffo!

I'm no expert but whenever I'm on the fence about who will win, I go with the home team. Sleeping in your own bed is way better than sleeping in a hotel.
