Challenge the Soapbox writers at your prediction skills!
Current standings from previous week’s games are below the picks; we only started this on Week 10, total games are from then rather than wk 1; so it’s never too late to start - anyone can get best oracle of the week!
Here’s last week’s picks, and the full spreadsheet. There were three surprise results last week giving no one points - who could have foreseen that?
The Oracles of the week are reader Tomahawk, and myself (Kreg) for staff; both with 5 correct picks.

Lastly I thought everyone may like a preview of the testing for next year’s Oracle. I hope to add the option to predict scores as well as winner, thus picking the correct result will be 1 point; a correct score will be one point per team, making potentially 3 points if you predict every result perfectly. You can also get partial points if a team you pick to win loses, but they only scored one goal - and you picked them to score one.
I’ll have to test different options for table layouts, and of course each week will have it’s own table rather than all in one; but here it is in a nutshell. You can see the full spreadsheet here under the 2018 test tab.
