REGULAR SEASON FINAL COUNTS

End of Season bonuses have been added; here is what the competitors will be taking with them into the playoffs.

1. B Furnas: $8,320 + $200 (1st bonus) + $75 (48.2%) = $8,595
2. Kessler: $5,475 + $100 (2nd bonus) + $75 (48.5%) = $5,650
3. Mills: $4,300 + $75 (3rd bonus) + $100 (57.7%) = $4,475
4. Shade: $3,760 + $50 (4th bonus) + $75 (48.5%) = $3,885
5. Strait: $3,500 + $25 (5th bonus) + $100 (53.0%) = $3,625
6. Saunders: $2,710 + $50 (43.6%) = $2,760
7. Mansfield: $2,105 + $75 (45.8%) = $2,180
8. Hill: $1,560 + $25 (38.7%) = $1,585
9. Eller: $1,195 + $50 (42.3%) = $1,245
10. Hall: $80 + $50 (42.5%) = $130
11. Mobley: $60 + $0 (33.8%) = $60
12. J Furnas: $55 + $50 (42.5%) = $105

As a reminder, % bonuses followed these guidelines*:
>80% = $500
>70% = $400
>60% = $200
>50% = $100
>45% = $75
>40% = $50
>35% = $25

*The answer is yes - these will be adjusted next year, as these proved to be somewhat unrealistic. And yes - there will be a minimum bet amount next year in order to get the winning % bonus, known as the Hall Corollary.

WEEK 17 PICKS

Week 17 will go down as the overall most successful week in history...as almost everyone is in the green, and it's not over - a Bengals cover would give Saunders and Mobley parlay wins.

Furnas takes control with the largest rake the Unified Fund has ever seen...Kessler hits ANOTHER parlay...Saunders pulls in 1,000 on one game...Shade and Hill have their parlays lessened by the Titans push but still get 3:1 payout.

And Jay...all I can say is this is truly a cold streak like you read about. I would probably pull out the vile of alligator blood right now, if you haven't already.
