ROLLOVER!
Week 9 will be worth $3,180.00 to a single winner
Such an easy week, yet it produced zero winners. Not that it wasn’t close. 29 Poolers finished the week going 9-1. However, only one Pooler should feel screwed.
As the early Sunday games were going final, Pooler after Pooler was being eliminated. 296 selected Baltimore over Cleveland. Who would have thought Cleveland was going to win that game, let alone any other game yet to be played this season. 189 Poolers lost with the Jets going down to New England. Who would have thought the Patriots was going to win that game, let alone any other game yet to be played this season.
Those two games were enough to eliminate everyone that still had a chance to win. Everyone with the exception of Tua Girls One Cup. Tua was sitting pretty at 3-0, the only one with zero losses, savoring the comeback victory by the Chicago Bears. Except, that wasn’t to be. While some of the Bears that were still on the field during the final seconds, were prematurely celebrating, The Washington Commanders Quarterback tossed a Hail Mary pass just short of the end zone. But. the football was tipped into the air, backwards, into a lonely Commanders player was standing in the end zone. And so it ended! A loss for the Bears and elimination for Tua Girls One Cup.
This week, I snuck in a college game with a point spread much higher than I normally select for the Pool. I wanted to see how many Poolers would not take a game with a 21.5 point spread. Of the 319 Poolers, only 195 selected Miami over Florida State. I literally gave everyone one win. It was a no brainer. Yes 124 Poolers didn’t pick Miami.
Now I sort of understand those of you that would never touch a college game. But to not even take a peak, I cannot grasp. Then there were a few that actually picked college games, but not that one. WTH!!! WHY??? I realize that this was a big rivalry game, but Florida State sucks. It’s quite possible I may put in another lopsided game in the Pool from time to time. You may want to look before you pick.
Killer B is still in 1st place in the Accumulative Pool with 60 wins. However, this week he is joined by Junior D and Tommy G. If the season were to end this week, the 3 would split, 1st, 2nd and third place money.
In 4th place are Roso903 and Tungy. Both are 1 win behind with 59 wins. And 1 win behind, tied for 6th place is Big ‘Ol Ditka and Dinwiddie.
3 Poolers were eliminated from the Pick 1 Winner Pool. Trader Joe, MJ and PatRiot losing brings the number still participating to 46.
The Pick 1 Loser Pool lost All in the Family, Chicoug, Crazyeyes, IIYaKa3, MamaBear_4739 and AzHawks. The total Poolers still picks now stands at 42.
That’s it for Week 8. Study hard for Week 9 as we already have reached the halfway point of the Pool.
