GAME 2019 Star Wars NFL Pick Em VI

D'oh!

So many numbers man, so many numbers.... thanks for the assist!

 

Happy Monday, Pickers!



Thanksgiving is upon us!

And it wouldn't really feel like Thanksgiving without football. And it wouldn't really feel like football without Pick Em. So, get ready to Pick Em like you've never Picked Em before! (unless you played last year in which case you have in fact picked em like this once before.) say Pick Em one more time....

As most of you may remember, we went wild for Thanksgiving week last year and we're doing it again this year. Instead of a select 7 game meal, we're gorging ourselves on the ENTIRE MENU. That's right -- we're picking every game.


Don't start submitting yet, I just wanted to give you all a little warning. There will be a twist; underdog picks will be worth 2 points (maybe even 3 in some lopsided contests) while picking the favorite will still yield you the usual 1 point. So check in tomorrow to see what sort of madness we are dealing with!

Here's last year's as a refresher:

And now, for the mother of all Pick Em weeks...

The value of each pick is in parentheses after each team. Favorites are worth 1, while underdogs are worth 2 or 3. No penalty for guessing incorrectly, as always. In some games there is no favorite, so each team will be worth 1. (Don't worry about listing the point value with each pick, the team name is plenty.)


Week 13: Thurs, Nov. 28th (Thanksgiving) - Mon, Dec. 2nd:


Thanksgiving Early:
Wampas (1) @ Rancors (2)
Wampas 24, Rancors 20
The declawed Wampas (5-6) take on the defanged Rancors (3-7-1) who spitefully seek vengeance and victory.

Thanksgiving Afternoon:
Banthas (2) @ Rebels (1)
Banthas 26, Rebels 15
The Banthas (8-3) and their suffocating defense now looks to turn the wandering Rebels (6-5) into poodoo.

Thanksgiving Night:
Androids (1) @ Interceptors (2)
Androids 26, Interceptors 18
The Androids (9-2) face off against their infamous mechanical rival, the Interceptors (3-8), on the eve of Harvest Day.


Sunday Early:

Mandalorians (1) @ Troopers (1)
Mandalorians 31, Troopers 17
After the election of the new Mandalore from Tan Hill, the Mandalorians (6-5) aim to reclaim their rightful place as rulers of the Southern Sector. The stalwart Troopers (6-5), however, dare stand in their way.

X-Wings (1) @ Zabraks (2)
X-Wings 6, Zabraks 22
The X-Wings (4-7) send their squadrons for target practice against the hopeless Zabraks (0-11)... Little do they know that the Crimson Blaster has returned to lead the team to victory.

Gungans (3) @ Dugs (1)
Gungans 29, Dugs 21
The clumsy Gungans (2-9) stumble their way towards the Malastare Dugs (5-6), tactlessly interrupting their leisure time. How will the Dugs respond for this insolence?

B-1s (3) @ Sith (3)
B-1s 17, Sith 20
After emasculating the Hutts, the ironclad B-1s (10-1) march to the dread coliseum to face the nightmarish Sith (9-2) and their Dark Lord, who had just concluded the purge of Ryloth. In this mythical battle of defense versus offense, there can only be one victor.

Tuskenraiders (1) @ Wookiees (1)
Tuskenraiders 28, Wookiees 11
The Tuskenraiders (4-7) and their reckless chieftain now face the Wookiees (4-7), who can't get their leader's long lightsaber working for some reason.

Jawas (1) @ Droidekas (1)
Jawas 13, Droidekas 20
The coldblooded Jawas (5-6) return to finish the job on the Droidekas (6-5). As their former mentor used to say: kill the head and the body will die.

Hutts (1) @ Walkers (2)
Hutts 31, Walkers 13
Following their horrific loss on Geonosis, the Hutts (8-3) seek a rebound win against the Walkers (2-9), a potentially deadly unit hampered by poor strategy.

Yodas (1) @ Greedos (3)
Yodas 31, Greedos 37
The Yodas (5-6) have a simple goal: to rebuild their reputation. Shooting first against the lowly Greedos (2-9) might be a decent place to start. Maclunkey!


Sunday Afternoon:

Twi'leks (1) @ Royal Guards (2)
Twi'leks 34, Royal Guards 7
Executed by Order 6TD, the remaining Twi'leks (6-5) regroup for a desperate battle of survival against the Royal Guards (3-7-1).

Lightsabers (1) @ Tauntauns (1)
Lightsabers 20, Tauntauns 23
Lightsabers (4-7) should be able to slice open some Tauntauns (3-8) with relative ease, but its wielder has been alarmingly graceless this season.

Vaders (2) @ Ewoks (1)
Vaders 9, Ewoks 40
After a severe asthma attack last week, the Vaders (6-5) face a daunting challenge against the Ewoks (7-4) and their fearless general.


Sunday Night:

Jedi (1) @ Reeks (2)
Jedi 22, Reeks 28
The unyielding Jedi (10-1) fight the enraged Reeks (7-4) who seek a statement win against the galaxy's elite.


Monday Night:

Togrutas (2) @ Wattos (1)
Togrutas 30, Wattos 37
The Togrutas (8-3) and their tranquil gungan sniper enter a battle against the Wattos (9-2) and their wizardly leader who seeks to regain value in his bid for the throne, before the Dark Lord of the Sith claims it.

 

*I HAVE ALTERED THE PICK EM. PRAY I DO NOT ALTER IT ANY FURTHER.*

The line on the first Thanksgiving game, Wampas @ Rancors has changed as the Rancors are seemingly down to their 3rd string QB. The Rancors are now the Underdog pick worth 2 points.

I'm going BB-units to the wall here and making the B-1s @ Sith the "Game of the Week" with that being worth 3 points for a correct pick.

@Addi Ras, @Maximus, @Meister Yoda special heads up in case this changes anything for you, as you've already made picks (feel free to edit or request changes).
