Chris Lessner wrapped up his first Eastern Maine Sports regular season pick’em contest title in Week 17. Lessner went 12-4, and held off Jeff Hoak (13-3) who tied for the best record last week and finished in second. Anthony DelMonaco (13-3) jumped over Marc Calnan and finished third, while Calnan (11-5) finished one behind DelMonaco in fourth. Cassidy Lessner (11-5) finished last, 11 behind fourth place Calnan. The staff will now battle for the best playoff record, and see if any of them can overtake Chris for the best overall. The Wild Card Round begins Saturday with three games, and three games on Sunday with what should be some real exciting matchups. Here is the results from Week 17, final regular season standings, and then the picks for the Wild Card Playoffs-
