WE HAVE WINNERS!!
Week 12 will be worth $1,530.00 to a single winner
After three rollover weeks and a purse that climbed to $6,120.00, I’m happy to announce that six Poolers—Father & Son, Conman999, Silo BobandSusan, Hail Noe, Canadian Joe, and Big ‘Ol Ditka—sailed through Week 11 with perfect 10-0 records. Congratulations! Each of you takes home a winning share of $1,020.00—enough to fund a serious Thanksgiving feast.
Week 11 turned out to be relatively smooth sailing, aside from a few bumps: Cincinnati_U drew 125 losses, the LA Chargers racked up 142, and Kansas City added 112. But compared to the chaos of the previous three weeks, those upsets barely registered. In fact, 64 Poolers finished 9-1, and another 99 went 8-2. That’s over half the field with two losses or fewer. Still, WLHowie managed to pull off a rare feat—just three wins. Quite the outlier!
Looking ahead to Week 12: we’ve got 11 college games and 14 pro matchups. Four NFL teams are on a bye, marking the final bye week of the season. From Week 13 through 18, we’ll have a full slate of 16 NFL games each week.
A heads-up for new Poolers and a reminder for the veterans: after Thanksgiving weekend, the FBS college regular season wraps up. Week 14’s Pick 10 will feature conference playoff games and possibly a few FCS matchups. Weeks 15 through 18 will include FCS games, plus Division II and III contests—and maybe even a few FBS Bowl games.
In the Pick 1 Winner Pool, only 5 of 108 Poolers were eliminated, leaving 103 still in the hunt for Week 12. The Pick 1 Loser Pool saw 17 fall, with 51 remaining.
The Accumulative Pool saw a shakeup at the top. FUBAR, who’s spent much of the season in 1st or 2nd, is now just outside the money—only one game out of 2nd and two from 1st. Hail Yeah now leads with 83 wins, climbing from 2nd place. Bluto2me holds steady in 2nd with 81 wins, now tied with AL&BW, Canadian Joe, C2COOL, Deception27, and Jordan JJ. If the season ended today, that group would split 2nd and 3rd place winnings.
But with seven weeks to go, anything can happen. Ten Poolers sit at 81 wins, and another eight are right behind at 80. A single week can flip the leaderboard—so stay sharp, stay lucky, and keep your picks dialed in.
That’s it for Week 11. I’ll be in the air for several hours on Saturday, so expect a delay in updates.
Happy Picking!
