If you're reading this then you already know: I've written a week 11 blog post. Let's get the formalities out of the way in this bold opening paragraph that you are reading here, at the start of the page, by telling you that the weekly picks, overall standings, clutch pickers, network standings and individual team rankings are all updated for week 11...

Week 11 sees the NFL fully into the second half of the season, with most bye weeks out of the way and a 15 game schedule for the first time since week 7. That's 4 weeks for those of you who were struggling with the complex mathematics of it all. Yeah, I know, you can't beat a University education.

Anyway this is a brief update, but a beautiful one. You see, this week me and Pickwatch Phil had an audit. Every few weeks we like to do a full check of all picks, and it's very interesting how many predictions from the first weeks of the season have mysteriously changed since our last one in week 5. There are certainly some 'repeat offenders' in this category, however rather than name and shame them, we'll just put this out there:

We're watching you.

Soon we'll be forced to start taking screenshots of picks at game time each week, and you don't want that. I mean hell, I don't want that, so let's come to a gentleman's agreement to not fiddle with any picks huh?

On the plus side of the audit, we were able to highlight a couple of errors by networks in compiling their picks. They're easily done - trust me - but now that Pickwatch is on the case like a latter-day Pick-em themed detective, you can rest assured that any mysterious cases can be cleared up. As I pointed out to Marc Sessler last night, we're essentially the Columbo of the NFL world.

Anyway...
This week we changed the NFC divisional picks to show the season overall win percentage, rather than that expert's overall rate for that team. I figured since the latter was effectively just the sum of the last two columns, it was pretty much needless, whereas putting the season overall into the divisional picks would certainly aid people trying to work out who is the best expert to follow for each team. Let us know which you prefer, the AFC or NFC style, and we'll move forward with that from next week.
As always, tweet us, email us or even construct an elaborate mechanism that transfers sound as radio waves in order to contact Pickwatch. We appreciate all the feedback we get, both positive and negative (although we're not doing too badly on the latter yet...). Those little messages are what get us through the days when our lives are just a wall of spreadsheets and html code.
