Well, Week 7 came down to the two MNF games before crowning a weekly winner. Mr. Eames, who sent in his picks from Japan this week, edged Ravi by five points to claim the Week 7 bragging rights.
Mr. Eames posted a 380 with a lineup featuring L. Jackson, K. Williams, B. Robinson, Hunt, Chase, London, B. Thomas Jr., Bowers, Seibert and the Bengals D.
Ravi continued his strong 2024 campaign, scoring a 375 thanks to a roster led by L. Jackson, Barkley, Mixon, Jav. Williams, Bigsby, Chase, McLaurin, Kittle and the Broncos D.
This is Mr. Eames first win since Week 5 a year ago, and Ravi‘s second pay day of the 2024 season. Congrats to both on a strong showing in Week 7.
Mr. Eames would also expect me to tell the entire league that his Yankees are into the World Series for the first time since 2009, where they will meet SteveB’s Dodgers. Good luck gentleman.
One final mention on the international theme for this week’s results. Jack just spent a week in Sicily, and also had one of his best weeks of the season, so maybe there is something to be said for leaving the country.
