ROLLOVER!!
Week 13 will be worth $4,770.00 to a single winner
Week 12 was doomed from the git go! Cleveland defeating Pittsburgh on Thursday night took out 112 Poolers before the weekend even started. And that wasn’t the worst of it.
Saturday started off slowly as there were some very scarce picks for the first 5 of 12 games. A total of 82 picks combined for the 10 teams. Then disaster struck with Colorado and their 82 pickers going down to Kansas. That was followed by 194 Poolers losing with Alabama. Then, to make matters worse, Texas A&M was defeated by Auburn and another RED mark going against their 95 pickers.
It was such a disaster that only Mr Big Pants survived and entered Sunday with a 2-0 record. 84 other Poolers joined him, but they haven’t even made a pick yet. Those 84 had to pick winners for 10 of the remaining NFL games scheduled. A super human task, to say the least.
Thanks to Washington (296 picks) and Houston (281 picks) losing in the early Sunday games, that put the end to their illusion of grandeur before the late Sunday afternoon games commenced.
At the time of this writing the Monday Night Game is not yet final. However, if the Ravens win, BmansaysTitanup and Sleeveland will have completed the week with and impressive 9-1 record. Should the Chargers win, Sleeveland will be the only Pooler with a 9-1 performance. Whatever the outcome of this game, my question is . . . How in the hell did you accomplish that? The average number of wins per Pooler is just short of 6.
The Pick 1 Winner Pool is creeping closer to declaring a winner. 11 of the remaining 25 starting the week were eliminated. By my basic math skills, leaves on 14 competing in Week 13. Only GT is without a loss.
The Pick 1 Loser Pool wasn’t nearly as bad. 4 of the 32 participating have rotated out of this Pool. Of the 28 left, Biondo/Desch, BucDoc 14, covey, tkk and Brustacles have zero losses.
In the Accumulative Pool, Junior D is now in 1st place by himself with 91 wins. Killer B drops to 2nd with 90 wins. And there is a 3 way tie for 3rd. Roso903, Big ‘Ol Ditka and Tommy G all with 89 wins. Behind the money leaders is a mass of humanity that trails by only 1 or 2 wins and a whole lot more 3 wins within the top spots. With a third of the season yet to be played. So keep plugging away.
That’s it for Week 12. This, being Thanksgiving Week, there are a lot of games in the Pool being played before the weekend. The NFL has 3 Thursday games and a gimme on Friday night. On Friday we also have 4 games. So get that brain matter working early this week and get those picks in.
I want to wish all the Poolers a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving.
