TOPIC: NFL survival pool my donated token revealed

So happy to not regret this choice! Feels like we're getting close, but this could still go for weeks!

Geez - frelling Steelers couldn't beat the Dolphins? ARGH! Good luck to the survivors - death is coming for you!

Because I could not stop for Death
Emily Dickinson, 1830 - 1886

Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.

We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility –

We passed the School, where Children strove
At Recess – in the Ring –
We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain –
We passed the Setting Sun –

Or rather – He passed us –
The Dews drew quivering and chill –
For only Gossamer, my Gown –
My Tippet – only Tulle –

We paused before a House that seemed
A Swelling of the Ground –
The Roof was scarcely visible –
The Cornice – in the Ground –

Since then – ‘tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses’ Heads
Were toward Eternity –

I totally forgot who I picked this week... again.

Looks like I'm still in it.

I was just looking at my picks and the final scores. All blowouts. Except I can't remember Week 1 where I took the Seahawks. That one is not showing because of the manual reset.

Seahawks barely pulled out a win in week 1. That was a nail biter.

So, you picked the Browns to beat the Bengals, too.

Not quite.

Well, if Cincy, the Pats and Atlanta lose this weekend there will be only two left.

It would be a tad ironic if everyone wins this week to make up for the exodus of last week.

I'm okay with no irony and everyone losing.

According to 538.com, the team with the best chance of winning last week is the Bengals over the Browns. Then again, it predicted a Steeler win last week (stupid Steelers!), and it's predicting that they will beat the Pats this week - without Big Ben! WTF?

You know pretty much all those analysts know nothing about playing football? They just crunch numbers. You can't pick that way, by reading what they say. You can take it into account but don't rely on it.

You have to actually watch the games and study the players. The biggest things are:

Team rivalries
Contract years
Heart
Injuries
Previous week


That's just to name a few things to look for when deciding your pick(s).
