When the crew of TCGS left Vegas on Sunday, you can be certain that Lady Luck wasn't on the flight home. How do we know this? Check out the sea of teams in the right column that are lit up in red: nine picks, only two of them right. Ouch.With no further ado, here's how the loser's bracket shapes up:
MAUREEN: Just brutal… there's not much more we can say. We already knew it wasn't going to be a good day for her when she picked the undefeated Colts to lose, or when she picked a one-win St. Louis team to win. The final insult came when two old warhorses—Brett Favre and Kurt Warner—played each other: one played well, the other played terribly. The terrible one just wasn't the one you (or Maureen) expected. Hey, at least there are still only two teams out there with better records than the Vikings.
LINO: We'll give him a pass for picking the Bills over the Jets, but we guess he didn't get the message that the Steelers have been in a tailspin lately. So that's, what… seven weeks in a row that you've lost? And you started out the season with such promise. You should've stayed in Vegas a little longer… you were doing better there.
LOU: When will you learn that the Cowboys are not your friend this year? Or that the Patriots are incapable of winning on the road this year?
So at the risk of repeating ourselves again, that leaves Fr. Rob Keighron and Mark Hart as this week's contenders. Fr. Rob, fresh from Vegas and brilliant as usual, went 3-for-3. Mark is 2-for-2 so far with one game left on Monday night. If the Ravens win, we have another tiebreaker to be settled later in the week. If the Packers win, Fr. Rob wins outright. We'll check in after tomorrow's game with an update, and after that it's sayonara until Thursday.
UPDATE 12/7: The Packers won 27-14 over the Ravens, so Mark Hart misses his pick, and Fr. Rob Keigron is this week's winner!
