Hi Fred,
Both John Stevens and I had 12 wins this week. If the tiebreaker was based on the Titans and Jaguars game, I should have come in first. Maybe I'm missing something. 
Thank you and please let me know.

Hi Toni,

John Stevens put his tie-breaker on the Seattle-Arizona game, and was 4 points closer. Sorry. :)

I had the same issue on my pool.  The last game on the pick sheet was Tenn vs.Jacksonville thus it should be the tiebreaker game.  Most players TB square saya TEN.  Some show SEA.  I don't know if the game order changed after some players turned in picks.  The last team listed on the pick sheet should be the tiebreaker game. Please advise

I see what you are saying, given that you have your tie-breaker configured to "last game of year". What happened is the last week of the year there was no Monday night game, and on Sunday the NFL later in the week changed a game time from 1pm to 4:25pm EST.  After the fact I don't think there is anything you can (or should) do about it since each player put their tie-breaker on a specific game. I also don't think its worth changing the programming since this can only happen the last week of the season and there is no guarantee the NFL won't change the time of an early game to whatever time they want later on Sunday.

Hi Toni,

I didn't occur to me your league had the tie-breaker game set to the last game of the week. See my reply in the post above on this. This is one of those rare situations (last week of the year that doesn't have a Sunday night or Monday night game) where players could choose from two different games, something that there is not much we can do about either before or after the fact.
