Updated Standings - thru December 23rd

Mild shakeup yesterday as two last minute scores and an Appalachian St. clean sheet rocked some people's worlds.  My lovely bride, however, jumped from the bottom of the table to 4th place, reclaiming household bragging rights.

Andy Barrell finally missed a couple picks but nobody was really able to cut into his lead.  Lots of football left still, and once the jolly old fat man is done doing his business tonight, some of the big boys finally start squaring off.  For those of you looking for something else to hold you over until the playoff games roll around, the annual Boxing Day test cricket clash will be underway on Tuesday between England & Australia.  My international cricket correspondent, Eric Hostetter, says to grab the Aussies on the money line, as the Brits are a bunch of drunken maniacs:

"Their problems haven’t been restricted to on-field mishaps either. Controversies over two bar incidents, which prompted a midnight curfew amid claims of a drinking culture in the squad, shook their camp midway through the series."

Free gambling advice, my gift to you.  Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
