The only one that seemed at all controversial was the Welker porp. I haven't seen a replay yet, but the one play in question (first play from scrimmage in 2H) didn't seem like a drop to me live, and Bodog graded "NO" as a winner, so I'm going with that. I'd put some more effort into it (maybe?), but it doesn't impact the eventual #chadTRES winner either way.
The Anthem (1:54) and Omaha (two!) unders crushed, but generally I think all these porps were reasonable, except for #teamWEATHER. And the forecast for the high on Sunday went from 37 to 46 the day after I posted these, so such is life. Everybody had the over, so it was just a matter of how many points you put on that particular #lock.
Anyway, here are the final standings:
Second by one point is always solid in a winner-take-all contest, IMO.
A truly impressive performance by @HidekiPatsui, who predicted each of his eight most confident porps correctly. Sounds like in real time he shipped the contest on this shot of Sad Eli, which is almost as appropriate a way to end the contest as the last relevant game in C.H.A.D. W10.
So, this was fun, and wraps up the 2013 C.H.A.D. football season. Go Jags.
FWIW, I paid out my losing "Welker won't drop a pass" prop bet to a fellow party-goer immediately after the play in question. One could rule that it was a "pass defended" but I have no qualms with calling it a drop, either.

Interesting, thanks. Seems like, by those definitions, a play could be categorized as both a drop and pass defensed?
