Fickle Finger 2025 Winner
A wild and crazy season can only be concluded with a wild and crazy finish to the Fickle Finger contest. In this year’s contest, we had three contestants who correctly predicted the final total of Steelers wins: Eleven, Earl, and Tuskeegee_Brown, which earned them each a bonus point. However, Drock trumped them all with more accurate divisional predictions, proving that it’s rarely a successful strategy to expect good results from the Ravens or Bengals, and always a good strategy to expect a faceplant by the Browns. So, this year’s winner is Drock.

But the story doesn’t end there! An honorable mention has to go to Eleven, who had four dead-on predictions. Not only did he perfectly predict Steelers and Browns win totals, he also nailed two tie-breakers: the number of games not started by Aaron Rodgers (1) and total team sacks (48). Unfortunately, the tiebreakers didn’t come into play this year, but it’s still a noteworthy achievement. Also, special props go to Earl, who made the best record of game by game predictions, hitting an amazing 14 out of 17.
