jmeehans99 wins week 1 Pickem' on 2nd tie-breaker Not sure about the ladies, but the NFL gods definitely love Cool JP as the rookie raps his way into the week 1 Confidence victory on his very first time out. LLCoolJP finished with a total of 131 confidence points, missing just 4 on the Pats and a very clutch 1 point on the Chiefs. The late Vikings victory (and their 7 points) sealed the deal for LLCooJP and left MC Gusto XII in second place with 128 points.

Six players finished the exciting, but mostly upset free, week 1 with 14 wins out of the 16 total matchups. The Confidence winner LLCoolJP was one of them and looking to complete the sweep, but ended up being the furthest away on the first tie-breaker to finish in 6th place. jmeehans99 and runningman both predicted the Vikings winning score correctly at 27, but the late touchdown by the Bears made jmeehans99 the week 1 Pickem' winner with a perfect prediction on the second tie-breaker. Had he put his final 14 confidence points on the Vikings, jmeehans99 would have swept the week 1 competitions.

For the first time in the history of the UPsP, every player survived week 1 in the Survivor contest. With only a couple upsets on the week, all 97 players who submitted a Survivor pick were able to advance unblemished into week 2. last year, 42 players lost a life in the first week.
