Week 10 in the NFL saw the league’s first tie since 2008, as the Rams and 49ers finished in a 24-24 draw that saw both kickers miss the potential winning field goal in overtime. Because all four panelists took San Francisco, we simply gave them all a tie in the standings, meaning they went 7-3-1 in their unanimous picks. In the end, just one game separated the panel, with Ryan Ruocco and Howard Cross winning the week by going 9-4-1 and Ruocco taking a one-game lead in the yearly standings.
Week 11 is the final bye week of the season (with the Giants, Vikings, Seahawks, and Titans taking a lazy Sunday), and there are a handful of big division rivalry games that could make or break playoff possibilities. The panel is unanimous on eight of 14 games, and four more see just one panelist dissenting from the others, so there’s a chance that Ryan Ruocco’s lead could be short-lived.
Let’s take a look at the latest standings…

Ryan Ruocco: 9-4-1 (.679)
