2024 CFL VGCC Week 21 Standings

The end of the regular season is finally here! That was an :firecracker: :firecracker: week of football, with 3 more close games. The Montreal :wind_face: :leaves: sure did a number to our record this week (73-102 42%), as only @T44 picked Calgary after the Riders put out their backup team.

:partying_face: :partying_face: Congrats to @T44, @Abendschan, @Jon, @papazoola, and @WeGotTheCup for posting a 3-1 record to close it out! Especially to @Jon who just barely sneaks into the playoffs. :partying_face: :partying_face:

Apparently we’re travelling back in time. I posted as 2023.
Anyway, I’ll give out more fun facts about this season at the awards ceremony (and hopefully there isn’t a controversy like last year).

So many here should give themselves a pat on the back for doing better at picking the result of 81 regular-season games than many of the so-called experts who actually get paid to think and talk about football.

Kudos to all!

Congratulations to @disciplineandpunish for battling his way to victory against some serious competition from the wily @Cflukb69 and the cagey @tony and especially that sneaky ancestrally prehistoric overgrown beaver @Maaax again, who to their high credit did put up yet another feisty and tough fight via also those perfect weeks.

I did not participate in this contest, but please add me to the list for the forthcoming details about the awards ceremony, short parade, and free drinks and snacks.

Second this statement. Well done.

I killed myself, I started risking games around week 16 in pursuit of D&P, I was doing better when I pick earlier in the week before seeing my competition.

I’ll get you next year… Mauh-Ha-Ha

I think the worst thing anyone can do is pick teams who just aren’t going to win.
Landing the rightside in a good number of those picks that are close to 50-50 is the clincher.
Elks cost me a few picks early on thinking this week was their first win.
Next year it is :white_check_mark:

Enjoyable as always big thanks to everyone running and picking.
Well done to disciplineandpunish!

Exactly. The 50-50 picks are the ones where if you’re behind in the standings, you might deliberately go one way after seeing others go the other. Not gonna lie, there were weeks when I looked at what my closest competition was doing and either duplicated their picks (if they were close behind me and I felt reasonably certain of my selections) or deliberately changed certain 50-50 picks (if they were ahead of me and I felt reasonably certain of my selections).

I too got burned on the Elks a few times this year. BC too.

AT least you finished strong, I went 1-3 and out of the finals!
Can’t complain about the overall record though 48 wins is pretty good!

Ladies and gentlemen, if you could stop what you are doing now please, @WeGotTheCup has stopped by to grace us with his presence and share some pearls of wisdom with us today.

Indeed these are wise words.

Not only is he right, he’s DAMN RIGHT.

It pays not to chase others around when making your picks, for more often than not, it’s either blind leading the blind or if you are playing the opposite game, well then your worthy opponent who chose first has the advantage more often than not.

Would you defer after winning the toss for the sake of your choice of weapon in a duel?

I don’t think so and if so, YOU ARE A DAMN FOOL AND A NO-GOOD GALOOT TOO!

Just make your damn picks and make them on time so as to avoid being a no-good galoot, damnit. Thank you.

I believe I sinned or GALOOTED twice during the 2024 season, I’m ready to except my penance. As long it doesn’t remove any of my CFL-VGCC-2025 weekly regular season picks.

woo hoo, I almost made top 30. far out

Yes sir. I tried to make a power move by picking Als over Lions and it backfired. It cost me a playoff spot. My gut was telling me Lions but my brain got greedy when it saw the potential for advancement with an Alouette victory.

Stupid brain. :crazy_face:

How in firetruck did 7 guys manage to pick 50 winners?

The funny thing is that collectively we have shown the worst in the last 3 years since I have been involved. We also showed poorly against the writers as habitually many of us beat all of them. I attribute that to there being much more parity in the league this year and the picks being much harder than in the last couple of years.

Two years ago here are the stats with the winner having 60 picks correct:

Last year the winner had 62 picks correct:

I think that clearly this year was tougher to pick. An interesting comparison nonetheless.

CFL experts are ranging from 36-55 wins and 3DownNation range from 37-51 wins.

Early optimism of certain teams definitely affected a number of us. I was personally high on the Ti-Cats and Elks in pre-season too. Outside of that I think most here did a good job of picking.

I also spent too much time in the tea leaves while building out the scoresheet, seeing if I could find the underpicked sleeper pick.

Small season fact…46/81, or 57% of games were within a TD+2pt convert. And the 2 ties pooched us (added about 90 losses to our overall record).
