2009 NFL ATS Pick 'Em: Week Three Standings

By: Luke Florence

Forty-eight games in the books, 208 to go. September is set to pass us by and with its' passing brings, October, Halloween, the fall, and NFL bye weeks. The seasons are changing right before our eyes, and our standings are doing the same.

For the first time all season, Anthony Tynan does not hold any part of 1st place. That honor belongs to Billy Wakefield for going an impressive 12-4 in week three. Billy has won 10, 11 and 12 games respectively each week, and is two games clear of second place.

Sharing the 12-4 weekly honors with Billy was Chris Rapking and Jeff Schaffer. For Rapking, it marks the second consecutive week he has earned the week's highest record. As the Bengals go, he goes. Schaffer not only tied for the league's best mark in week three, but he also turned in comments for the first time. As Gus goes, Schaff goes.

The week's biggest mover was Schaffer, jumping eight spots to 13th overall. On the flip side, week three was the toughest on Ryan Polito, who went 7-9 and fell seven places in the standings. As the Steelers go, Po goes.

Here are our updated standings. Any member who is still in RED has told me the money is on the way but I have yet to receive it.
