I may have spoken too soon.

I switched from the Giants to the Rams at 11am yesterday.

 

oops

[blacklab 11926]

[Planet Houston 4930]

I switched to the Rams at the 11th hour as well.

with the amount of shitty teams in the nfl this year, this contest will probably last a good while.

or maybe we'll just go ahead and lose most of the entrants in week 4.

[Bartles 769]

Dolphins have a bye and then face Redskins so that's interesting. Definitely some other teams collapsing though.

[Bartles 769]

Down to TexasGary, HornontheBayou and myself. If I read it correctly, Dunkin dies with the Chiefs never having used the Patriots. Would have been a nice set-up for him with NE vs NYG this week.

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

Since we're down to three, what do y'all think about giving $100 each to 2nd and 3rd place? That would leave $600 for the winner. Thoughts, Bartles and TexasGary?

[Bartles 769]

I'm not exactly confident in my picks, but I favor just letting it ride as intended for the single winner.

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

Sounds good. I figured I would throw it out there as an option. 

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

Picking Washington will either go down as my greatest gambling moment ever or my dumbest. We'll find out soon. 

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

Never any doubt.

I am up for whatever you guys decide.

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

We all picked Buffalo. No surprise there. 

[Bartles 769]

Three different picks (Saints, Rams, Vikings) and no one got clipped this week. On we go

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

I'm excited to see who y'all pick today. I've enjoyed picking the Thursday night game the last two weeks, because then Sunday basically becomes a free roll for me.

[Bartles 769]

Bayou wins the pot if Tampa upsets Seattle, otherwise all three move on for another week

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

OT. Interesting. 

[Bartles 769]

The battle shall go on...glad I can't pick Seattle again

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

And just like that, Bayou goes down with the Saints. I'd have made that pick too if I hadn't burned N.O. earlier

We could have settlement today - I have Packers and TexasGary has the Colts.

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

The double whammy of your favorite team losing to their rival and knocking you out of an eliminator pool. It's the second time in the last couple of years that the Saints have done that to me.

Good luck to Bartles and TG.

[Bartles 769]

I suppose we could all three still lose...Dolphins lead Colts and Panthers just punched it in on GB 😮

Congratulations.  I watched part of the Miami / Indy game and it was awful.  All but 3 of Miami's points came from INT's.

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

Damn, Bartles wins by the length of a cunt hair. I hope that when you're blowing your winnings on lap dances, you think of TG and I.

[Bartles 769]

Thank you guys, great effort. I switched my pick off Indy last night, just wasn't feeling them with a brand new QB and Miami no longer in full tank mode. Still came down to Kyle Allen going 88 yards - needing 89 - in the snow at Lambeau. I've never come close to winning one of these deals before so this is sweet

[TexasGary 833]

I originally had San Fransisco but my trusted advisers persuaded me to change to Indy.

First of all, congratulations.
Usually I would be upset, but this time I am not.
Currently, I am feeling great.
Knowing that you were the one that won means the world to me.

Yes sir, everything is great here.
On to next year's competition.
Under my current drinking conditions, I should probably go to bed.

[HornOnTheBayou 8904]

In all seriousness, after I realized the Saints were going to lose, I was really hoping you two would pick the same game this week. When I realized y'all picked two different winners, I knew I was done. One upset was possible, two wasn't happening.

[BigOrange1 6432]

congrats to bartles, payment has been sent out.

[Bartles 769]

Had to go back and check we weren't calling this an "NFL Survivor pool" because, damn that doesn't sound right in 2020

@BigOrange1 I guess we aren’t bringing this back this year?
