As you can see, there was a two-way tie for first place between Eleven and tennbob with a score of 2. Tuskegee_Brown and EstimatedProphet were close behind with scores of 2.5 and 3. Eleven nailed the Steelers and Bengals, while tennbob hit on the Steelers and Browns. Sadly for tennbob, this is like have a non-losing season but failing to win the playoffs, because tennbob failed to provide a bonus prediction for the QB who would start the season (Trubisky). Since the others provided the correct answer for that bonus question, their scores are reduced by one point, giving the final results:
- Eleven: 1
- Tuskegee_Brown: 1.5
- tennbob: 2
- EstimatedProphet: 2
Your moderator was humiliated by coming in last place.
Congratulations to Eleven, and better luck to all of us including the Steelers, for 2023.
