The Marlboro Bold Flavor Pick of the week goes to Austingirl who picked the Trey Lance led 5.5 point road dog 49ers over the Cardinals.

She hasn't always been known for making good choices. For one, she married me.

This has been an interesting season so far. There have been a bunch of close calls, but almost no big pick upsets. I’m in a couple of pools with $500k+ payouts and a lot of the people in the pools are still alive. Usually by now there have been massive cuts with surprise losses.

Agreed. Although this week feels like there could be some winnowing. All the good teams are playing other good teams. Bad teams seem to be playing bad teams. We'll see what happens.

Damn where do you get in pools of that size

There are a couple of brothers up north that run golf pools, football pools, baseball pools, etc. They are typically $100 buy ins and have several thousand participants. There is another guy that runs a ton of pools and squares with $100-$500+ buy ins depending on the pool with a lot of people in them. I’ve won off both and never had any issues with payouts.

Looking ahead, most entries are going to be running out of good options after next week

Very true, but everyone still has whoever the Texan’s are playing 😂.

They play the Rams next week (which a couple entries have burned) and then have fun if you want to take the Dolphins at home against them in 2 weeks!

That’s a massive loss by the Bengals with them up by 11 with less than 7 minutes to play. Luckily I didn’t play them anywhere other than a big parlay ML bet which just bent me over.

Down to 8 with 4 teams still to go with the Chiefs on Monday. I had mixed feelings with the Bengals division future I made last week, but oh well.

To a backup QB, no less. Good luck to everyone still in the pool.

I deserve to lose.  I changed my pick from the Rams to the Bengals late Saturday night after making my picks up through week 14.  Rule 1 of eliminator is to take it 1 week at a time.  Enjoy my money.

We got some people on pucker watch with the Cowboys and Bills….   Glad I decided against them at the last minute but also not feeling great about my pick in KC.  This thing may be ending pretty soon.

@BigOrange1  Wait our pool says 4 people surviving but only 3 made the correct pick last week?  Did someone not make a pick and survive that way?

1 person hasn't gone yet, likely has Steelers tonight.

I may be wrong about that, I can't see the picks anymore after getting eliminated

Correct, he probably needs to play the shittiest team available Sunday if he wants to win with the way the last two weeks have gone.

They need to come out and tell us who they pick so we can root against them!  Lol

The Lions might pull this thing out for us.  I googled it and a tie counts as a loss so we are all alive still if this happens?

Nobody wanted to win that game. That was a horribly played OT.

Our rules state tie advances….   It varies from different pools I guess, cause google said no.   That’s all folks, congrats to the winner.

What? Tie is a loss in every pool I’ve ever played in. You have to win to advance.
