2009 NFL ATS Pick 'Em: Week Twelve Standings

By: Luke Florence

With just five weeks remaining, these standings gain more importance with each finished game. Just 80 more games left to pick. Everyone is still mathematically alive (yes, even Bart Borer, who is only 23 games out of the money), but some obviously are sitting in better position than others.

Week 12 saw a trio of league members go 11-5, as Eric Hug, Matt Barnes and Bart Borer all accomplished this feat. Barnes used that momentum to move up a league-best four spots in the standings, from 16th to 12th. On the flip side, Corey Taylor went 6-10 and fell from 7th to 14th. With the league being so tight, Taylor only finds himself four games out of the money.

For the first time all season, Huggy Bear claims the top spot. Thanks to Vince Young's comeback and Drew Brees domination, Eric Hug cracks 100 wins and has a slim one game lead over yours truly.

It's on.
