Well, Inty, if it ain't broke...

 

Ugh idk why it did that. I had answers there.

1. Which team scores first? Patriots
2. Which team scores the first Touchdown? Patriots

 

I'm going to extend the deadline for another two hours - 6pm EST/3pm PST for any stragglers that want to get their picks in.

 

Proving that the experts know what they are talking about, Raven got 12, tied with RX_Sith.

So, on tiebreakers (closer to real score), the winner is RX_Sith. Congrats.

Edit: I've just realised there may be some controversy here as I had 'Giants Defense' as 1st scorer but the safety was a penalty. If we take Cruz's TD as the first score Raven wins. Might need a referee's conference.

 

my two cents on that is that it was the giants defense that caused the score, and i'm pretty sure if it were fantasy they'd get credit for the safety.

 

That's my feeling too, and I don't think Raven really wants to win.

 

I think you're right about that.

Congrats, RX_Sith!
