Week Two of the NFL has come and gone – and along with it perhaps a piece of Ivan’s prognosticating ego.
Week Two’s winner is none other than Landmark columnist Guy Speckman. If you recall on last week’s Landmark Live with Speckman as the guest, Foley was confident in his Week Two picks and may have boasted a little too much about being the undisputed Week One champ.
Karma, it would seem, listens, waits and laughs. Not only did Speckman clearly defeat Foley in Week Two (14 to 11) – he also managed to surpass Foley’s Week One score. The Landmark staff would like to thank Guy from saving us from Foley’s ego for the time being.
The winners for Week Two in order are:
- Guy Speckman with 14 picks correct.
- Jeremy Theys with 13 picks correct.
- John Wallis with 12 picks correct and 19 tie-breaking points.
Honorable mentions to Steve Nichols, TheFakeNed, Cory Williams, and James Harper, each with 12 correct picks and 15, 14, 8 and 8 tie-breaking points respectively. As a Landmark columnist, Guy has opted to pass his prize on to the next highest scorer. This means Jeremy Theys gets the $20 gift card to Nick and Jake’s restaurant in Parkville and John Wallis gets the $5 gift card to Ten and Two Coffee Bar in Parkville.
Jeremy and John, please email your mailing address to ivan@plattecountylandmark.com and we’ll get those gifts in the mail to you.
Two weeks in and the top winners each week have come from Landmarkers. Who will be the first member of the general public to become a weekly champ?
And now, back to the contest. Time to start making your Week Three picks.
