Jeff Hoak went 9-7 in Week 18 and clinched the regular season title of the fourth annual Eastern Maine Sports weekly NFL pick’em contest. Hoak held off Chris Lessner by three games for the top spot, Anthony DelMonaco finished third, Cassidy Lessner fourth, and Marc Calnan finished in fifth. Hoak will now try to hold off Lessner as the playoffs begin this weekend to win his third overall title. Should be some great football as Wild Card Weekend approaches. The New England Patriots finished as the #6 AFC seed and will matchup with the Buffalo Bills, who won the AFC East, for a third time this season on Saturday night in Orchard Park. All our staff believe the NFC South Champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers will cruise to an opening round win in Florida on Sunday over Philadelphia. Here are the Week 18 results, final regular season standings, and then picks for the Wild Card Round-
Jeff Hoak (9-7 Week 18) 173-98-1 **regular season champion**
Chris Lessner (11-5 winner of Week 18) 170-101-1
