Okay, the chase for the championship is down to 4 people who can possibly win... Their picks this week are (tie breaker in parenthesis):

STANDINGS before this game
Nick: 6
Jerry: 5
Jaydee: 4
RvW: 4

RvW: Hawks (Hawks by 10)
Jerry: Hawks (Hawks by 13)
Nick: Hawks (Hawks by 6)
Jaydee: Niners (Hawks by 4)

IMPLICATIONS
* Nick is in the drivers seat... Wins the contest outright if either the Hawks lose, or the Niners lose, or if both win and the Hawks do better against the spread than the Niners.
* RvW is mathematically eliminated. He needed to gain 2 wins on Nick, and they both picked HAWKS, so he can't win the big prize. Sorry!
* Jaydee is two back, but still has a chance, needs both Hawks and Niners to win this weekend, and Niners to do better against the spread than Hawks.
* Jerry can't gain ground on Nick (both picked Hawks), he has to hope for both Niners win and Hawks win and to draw into a tie in the NFC championship.

More Sunday!
