After the 7 early games:

Rookies: 6-1 (31 pts)
Up and Comers: 3-4 (20 pts)
Vets: 4-3 (19 pts)
MVP's: 4-3 (16 pts)

My numbers are different from onside's because the Up and Comers actually lost the Clev-Sea game

I updated it, thanks.

I think the Rookies win! (no way anyone can catch us because we have same teams as everyone else...)

Yeah, but it's about the spreads of the games.  You could still get unlucky.  But, I think you're guaranteed not to vote, and have a very good shot of getting the clues...

Ummm, I know how it works.... We have the lowest spreads on all other teams too...... I don't think we can not finish first, by any computation.  Even if we lose every pick remaining.

I was not questioning that you don't know how it works.

Regardless, it appears that you are right, Rookies have already clinched idol clues.  If the results hold as they are now,  it will require NO winning by between 10-13 points for the MVP's to avoid voting. 

If Minnesota brings it to within 10 points of GB (but not more than 6), however, Vets will vote.

Vikes just brought it within 6 with 7:49 left.

Please...leave the score right where it is for the last 7 minutes...

4:30...c'mon stupid clock!

Either the Vikings need to score or GB needs to get another touchdown for the Vets to stay alive.

EDIT: At this point, looking like the former needs to happen.

Gah!  Pick out of bounds...

I was wrong.  Up and Comers will also lose their GB bet if these results hold, which means it will come down to whether NO scores between 7-13 points (U&C survive) or otherwise (Vets survive).

whew...
