WE HAVE WINNERS!!
Week 16 will be worth $1,590.00 to a single winner
Oh, how I long for the good ‘ol days! Weeks when we had rollovers. Several weeks with rollovers. And when we had winners it was 2 or 3 or 10. But, that was then, and this is now. Winners virtually every week. And lots and lots of winners.
Week 6 we had 80 winners of $39.00 each. Week 13 paid out $43.00 to 110 winners. Then Week 14 was more manageable with 17 winners. But they only claimed $93.00 with their wins. And this week . . it’s still up in the air. Right now, Danny Dimes and Dukeearl are sitting at 10-0. Winners, just waiting the outcome of tonight’s 2 games.
Should a miracle occur, and both the Bears and Raiders win, the payout to the 2 will be a hefty $795.00 each. But who really thinks that’s going to happen. Certainly not this season. Should Minnesota win, 20 additional Poolers will be winners. The money paid out to the 22 will be reduced to $72.00 each. In the 2nd game, we know that Atlanta will defeat a pitiful Vegas team. 23 others will be added to the winners circle. 45 winners!! OY VEY!!! The payout will be a mere pittance of $35.00.
I suppose that on a positive note, of the 45 potential winners, 9 will be collecting their 3rd payday and 13 others their 2nd. So their winnings are starting to accumulate a bit.

CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL!!
Of course, this post it a bit premature as both of tonight’s games are ongoing. Looking at the other side of the coin, should the Bears pull off an upset, that will eliminate 42 of the 43 Poolers still looking for the winning week. A Viking win and a Falcon loss will eliminate 23 of the remaining 43.
During the 1st 5 weeks of the season, we had major upset after another major upset. These losses eliminated the vast majority of the Poolers. Then, it appears as though all of the great teams started playing the bottom rung of the NFL. And the top teams always seem to find a way to win. There’s never been a season like this in the Pick 10, and hopefully there won’t be another one.
The Pick 1 Winner Pool, all 12 are moving on to Week 16.
In the Pick 1 Loser Pool, all 18 are moving on to Week 16.
Starting with Week 16 thru Week 18, I will not be posting any of the Picks for those Poolers still alive in the Pick 1 Winner and Loser Pools until all of their picks are received. Peaking is not permitted at the end of the season.
The Accumulative Pool had a little change. Big ‘Ol Ditka is now alone in 1st place with 118 wins. Tied for 2nd, with 117 wins, are Junior D, Killer B, Tommy G and Roso903. If the season ended today, the 4 would split 2nd and 3rd place money. And, close, but no cigar yet, are DeBar and MamaBear_4739 and 116 wins.
Starting with Week 16 thru Week 18, I will not be posting any of the above’s picks until they are all received. The Alias’ may change from week to week depending on the list of leaders. Peaking is not permitted at the end of the season.
That’s it for Week 15. Let’s hope, for my sanity, that we have a nice quiet Week 16.
