Picking the Playoff Winners in Week 12
I wasn’t sure what a good percentage would be for my Regional Quarterfinals picks, but when Drew Pasteur released his Fantastic 50 I was pleasantly surprised. Drew and his formula picked 80% of the winners and he was ecstatic. I guess I am too since I got 75% of my picks right.
I did decidedly better Friday night (40-8) than I did Saturday (32-16). I was a perfect 16-for-16 in Division IV and a pedestrian 8-for-16 in D-I. Still overall I went 72-24 (75%). I also got 13-of-16 right in both D-V and VI.
On a side note, I also predicted region winners last week. Five of those I tabbed to play in Week 13 are already out (and italicized).
Here’s how I see Week 12 wrapping up…
