Ranger Picks

Week 16 results are in, and due to a busy week I didn’t get chance to do the preview, so I’m going to do the preview and the result in the same post this week. There’s a very good chance the same thing will happen for week 17 when we will crown the Ranger Picks Presented by TJRS MLR 2025 Regular Season champion! (spoilers - it’s going to be very difficult to unseat Freejack Fitzy at this point unless he forgets to submit picks this week)

I’m planning the post season to be the same as last year. We reset all the scores and run it as a separate game. There will be one form predicting each of the conference semi finals, the conference champions and the MLR champion, with the tie break being predicting the championship score. Hoping to get that form out Monday morning.

Back to week 16!

For Friday, our pickers were completely split between SD and Miami, and unsurprisingly Utah were a heavy favorite (93%) over Anthem.

On to Saturday. LA were a decent favorite (60%) over DC, and Chicago expected (90%) to win at home over NOLA

The lone Sunday match had the home team NEFJ favored (79%) over Seattle. And on Wednesday Houston (75%) was expected to defeat Chicago.

The picks from our OG squad, reigning champ and current leaders once again matched the bigger trend. (UnforgivenPotato was late picking and forfeited picks for Friday)

No bonus points this week (everyone who got 5 correct also picked Houston to win in Chicago) but 7 pickers got 5 right.

Even though he only got 4 right, Freejack Fitzy continues to lead the standings. Definitely not a Ranger took advantage of UnforgivenPotato’s slip-up to jump into 3rd behind Pingree Panthers
