46% of remaining survivors on yahoo picked Green Bay over New England, as well as 3 of us, and we just barely all escaped that game with a GB overtime victory. Only one strike this week in survivor, but it was our last strikeless team, Hamlet. We have 6 teams with1 strike, 5 with 2 strikes, and 4 have been eliminated. ---

> [@SenorBeef](#): > > 46% of remaining survivors on yahoo picked Green Bay over New England, as well as 3 of us, and we just barely all escaped that game with a GB overtime victory. I had Green Bay until I heard Kamara was out, and I switched to preserve Green Bay for later on. I almost lost on that choice, and saving Green Bay suddenly doesn’t seem so savvy. What a season so far ---

Welp, the Jaguars really let me down. They dominated that game and still lost by shooting themselves in the collective foot, and now I’m knocked out. I have had such a bafflingly hard time just picking winners straight up this season. You win some, you lose some. Good luck everyone who is still active in Survivor ---

For real. They totally pissed that game away. What was even worse was when the announcers casually mentioned that the Texans had beaten the Jags 8 straight times and were looking for #9. Wish I had that little tidbit of info a day or two earlier. I’ll just take some comfort in knowing I’m doing much better in Pick 'Em so far than I usually do. ---

Tampa Bay losing to Pittsburgh got 5 of us last week, being the eliminating strike for 4 people. GB got one, and a no pick got another. We’re down to 4 surviving players, 2 with one strike and 2 with two. ---

Two more strikes for 4 players - Green Bay and Tampa Bay. That eliminates one survivor and gives another his second strike. We’re down to 3 players, each with two strikes. ---

CM’s Acid Trip Picks picked the Cowboys against Green Bay this week and they lost a nail biter, leaving The Standard Deviation Joes as the only remaining survivor. I don’t know who CM’s Acid Trip Picks is but I know our winner is Munch. Tomorrow I’m going to reset the league so that everyone has a chance to play the end of the season. Everyone’s strikes will be wiped out and we’ll start with a clean slate. If possible, I’ll reduce the number of strikes to 1 since we have a reduced season from here on out, but I think it probably resets with the original settings. If you want to look over who finished where, take a look now, I’m not sure if that all gets reset when I reset the league. ---

Congratulations, Munch! This was the hardest season I can remember, so it is a hell of an accomplishment to be the last one standing ---

That was my Acid Trip pick of the Cowpatties. The one time, ONE time I want them to win and they don’t. Jerks. Topping it off was an absolutely horrid day in Pick 'Em for me too yesterday. Yah, this season Part I was brutal. At least I surpassed my prediction of being out by Week 6. On to the next one and congrats Munch! ---

Congrats Munch! This has been such a weird season but Survival was especially brutal. Looking forward to seeing how the second half compares. ---

Survival league has been RESET. Get your picks in this week. I wasn’t able to change the number of strikes, only reset the league as-is, so we’ll probably have multiple survivors at the end of the season, and obviously fewer strikes is better. ---

A few of you haven’t put in new picks. I sent out PMs to those whose names I recognized but I wanted to send a reminder here too. ---

Is anyone else having trouble entering picks for Week 18 in the Confidence pool? Two of the 16 games are blanked out, not allowing a choice for two games. ---

> [@D\_Anconia](#): > > Is anyone else having trouble entering picks for Week 18 in the Confidence pool? None of the point spreads are listed either. I’m just waiting until later. The first two games that are blanked out are the Saturday games, which are the first games this week, so we’ve got a few days. ---

> [@Hal\_Briston](#): > > hoists “Regular Season Pick’Em Champ!” flag Congrats! Two questions on the Survival League: Having never been this far before, I’m assuming that once you pick a team to win a playoff game, that team is unavailable to you in future weeks, correct? Why isn’t the the Bucs/Cowboys game listed as one of the choices in the pool this week? Instead, it’s listed by itself on the Week 2 page. Assumedly Yahoo will get that cleared up soon? ---
