In an eerily ironic recreation of the scenario that ultimately took down the Pop Rocks candy franchise in the early ’80s, Pop rocked and Mikey choked in week 16.
Pop claimed his first weekly win of the season when he won the tiebreaker over Special K by a single point. As such, we can now safely declare this.
Meanwhile, Mikey saw his title aspirations fizzle out with a 2-11-1 performance in a week where we sourced all his picks from a computer simulation betting site. Apparently, artificial intelligence omniscience is still a few years in the offing.
And while Special K did not win the week, she did move ahead of Chris and Clarke by mere tenths of a percentage point. Given that Mike lost 1.7% points in a single week that had but 14 games, the final results are still much in doubt with this week’s 16-week schedule.
