Week 2 Wrap-Up (Composed Before I Turn Into a Pumpkin đ)
Iâm getting a jump on this weekâs update since tonightâs second game wonât wrap until around midnight. If I wait until then to start writing, I may just morph into a pumpkin before Iâm done. So hereâs a rough draftâI’ll fine-tune it in the morning once the dust settles.
đ Monday Night Spotlight
Congrats to The Car, Hokiebeast, MAC, and paulieâthe four Poolers who entered Mondayâs doubleheader with a perfect 10-0 record. If they remain the only ones to hit 10 wins, each will walk away with a tidy $383.00.
But donât count your winnings just yet. Heading into the ChargersâRaiders game, weâve got a pack of 9-0 contenders: Gator Dragon, Deception27, BEDAM, Win or Booze, Show Me Your TD’s, MamaBear_4739, MagicMan, dwex, and Angry Kittens. All of them picked the Chargers in tonightâs second game. If the Bolts pull it off, the 13 winners will split the pot at $118.00 each.
And a very special mention to dwex on his 2nd win of this young season. 16 more weeks to go for perfection.
đ Week 2 Woes
This week was trickier than last. Some of the more popular losing picks included:
⢠Pittsburgh_U: 119 losses
⢠The real Pittsburgh: 104 losses
⢠Minnesota: 110 losses
⢠Kansas City: 107 losses
The biggest surprise? The Chosen One. The Eagles were picked nearly 2-to-1 over the Chiefs. I expected a much tighter spread there.
đ Farewell to a Few
After just two weeks, we say goodbye to DPHQ and GoBigRed33-2 in the Pick 1 Winner Poolâtwo losses in two weeks is quite the feat.
In the Pick 1 Loser Pool, The PigMan-2 becomes our first and only elimination so far.
Reminder: once youâve racked up two losses in either of these Pools, youâre out. No need to submit picks for those Pools anymore.
đ Housekeeping Notes
All picks are posted for public viewing at pick10footballpool.com/downloads. Before submitting, double-check the Weekly Picks 2025 workbook to avoid reusing a teamâthatâs an automatic loss.
Iâll share an update on the Accumulative Pool tomorrow. At this point, itâs just a jumble of big and small numbers. Trust me, itâll all look different by Week 18.
đ UPDATE: Accumulative Pool Standings After Week 2
Now that the dust has settled on Week 2, itâs time for a quick look at the Accumulative Pool standings.
With wins in both Week 1 and Week 2, dwex stands alone in 1st place. Hot on their heels, weâve got a six-way tie for 2nd place: Angry Kittens, Baarty Party, Car, Gator Dragon, MAC, and Paulie.
Of course, with 16 weeks still to go, these standings are bound to shiftâprobably more than once. But just for fun: if the season ended today, those tied for 2nd would split the combined 2nd and 3rd place prize money. Some may think thatâs a sweet deal⌠others might be eyeing that solo 2nd spot with a bit more ambition.
đ§ Confirmation Glitch Fix (Hopefully)
One of the ongoing frustrations is that several of you arenât receiving your pick confirmations. It may be due to the email address Iâm required to use. This week, Iâll try sending a second confirmation from a more common email account. If it works, you may start seeing two identical confirmations going forward. No need to compare themâtheyâll be exactly the same.
đŚ Stay Connected
If youâre not already following the Pool on X (formerly Twitter), nowâs a great time to jump in. The handle is @pick10football. Itâs a great way to stay updated throughout the weekend.
Week 3 is nearly here. Pick well, play smart, and may your team not fumble at the goal line.
