Wow...close-bunched scores. Fortunately after Saturday's game we're going to have e-mailed entries so the pack will not be able to intentionally bunch together.

Two things stand out here:
- Poor Homer...he was the only one to pick a Memphis win and as such would have gotten through this game easily as the high scorer. However he feared to be the sole contestant hanging in the breeze and so changed his prediction at the last minute to be in line with the pack. He was in line with the pack...exactly one point under it. Irony, and a great story. If there were a post-game interview Homie, you'd be on the mic.
- Because the last game was scuttled there were to be two eliminations in this game. There are four people tied for the second worst. That means next game the lowest scorer of those four will be eliminated. This is in addition to the regular elimination of the lowest overall scorer.
