Next week looks fun. Jets/Browns, 49ers/Colts, Chargers/Giants? Barf

yep, figured this week would be my first strike.

Anti-Browns strong as always

Ouch, MIMH out, he also had the Giants. I still have the Vikings tonight. Just me and you, now.

Ugh, yep. I figured the Giants at home couldn't possibly lose to the dreadful Chargers. Dumb pick

*whistles*

Another good pick by the margin of a field goal. That's at least 3 now.

It would be sad if a double elimination survival pool ends after 6 weeks, but here we are.

Giants strike again

Yeah, damn. I didn't even watch the game or even bother to check the result until you said something. That's not where I would've expected to get my first strike. Interesting.

Regretting not joining this, haha.

If Nedney Succop would have missed that FG yesterday and TEN and CLE ended in a tie, would I have been eliminated?

Yeah, ties are a loss as per the default Yahoo rules.

There is no tiebreak if we get knocked out the same week.

..

Unless you want to devise one now? Want to do narrowest margin of loss that week wins, if needed?

Nah, let's just split the booty if that occurs. Unless it's a two pick week and one person loses one and the other loses two.

*handshake*

This is the first week I've just been lost. I don't even trust picking against the Browns, Jets, or 49ers. Blech.

The Jets are too scary to pick against. They were hyped by the ESPN machine to be bad this year, and of course they were wrong. 49ers are also on the verge of winning one. But the Browns are the Browns.

Always trust picking against the browns.

And so it continues.

Congrats mate. Watson went down a few minutes after I made my pick. I could have gone back and changed it but I figured the Colts were adequate doormats.

They are, but not today.

The pool collected $50. I'm amending the payout agreement; rather than paying $20 to second place I will give second place its buy-in back and award the balance of $40 to robbiestoupe. A $30/20 payout is unsatisfying close.

Payout sent via PayPal.

Thanks for playing everyone! We'll do it again next year, except with more fanfare and possibly explosions. Bigly explosions.

I'm glad I got my Houston pick in before Watson went down.

Thanks for setting everything up dodint. Hopefully we get a bigger turnout next year and we make it into the two-pick weeks.

Packers giving a scare, but still rolling.
