As long as you posed before the Bills game you did count correct. After MNF CM went from 1 strike to 2 and Hal lost his last life. You list of incorrect picks only include the people stil in. As well as Hal getting struck out with the Bills, Dalej who was the sixth to pick the Bengals got struck out. Interesting situation for next week Miami, SF, Dallas, Detroit and Washington all have double digit spreads but most of us will only have one or two of them left so the picks could be pretty spread out. ---

Damn, after 9 straight wins to start the season, Garygnu and I have lost two in a row on Cinci and Washington. Ouch. 5 people total picked Washington with 2 making them their final strike. ---

The commanders have caused a lot of strikes this year including to me. I was worried the Lions were going to strike me out but they managed a come-back ---

I got two strikes in the first 3 weeks, but perfect since. Still hanging on! (My pick this week was the 49ers–looks like I was the only one.) ---

> [@divemaster](#): > > (My pick this week was the 49ers–looks like I was the only one.) Heh. I was the only one in our group that picked Houston this week. They did their darndest to blow the game, but managed to hang on for the win. Gonna be a dogfight down the stretch. ---

I’ve got no more _good_ teams to pick, and when I try picking _against_ a bad team, it backfires. ---

I’ve still got the Chiefs and Eagles. Might pick the Chiefs next week but given they are playing in Vegas that will be a big gamble 😛 The Eagle have a really tough run until week 16 and I will be very surprised if I last that long. ---

And so @Railer13 is the last one left with multiple lives. ---

Really tough week to make picks and especially in survival. Almost no big spreads and heavy favorites. I am not confident at all in any of the games I can pick. ---

And the Bears shatter my short life in first place, while knocking out three other players. There are now seven of us left, all with two strikes. ---

Ouch. 9 weeks of correct picks followed by 3 strikes in a row and I’m out. Rough. ---

4 final strikes this week on the Steelers and the Chiefs. 3 players remain in survival, all with 2 strikes: Gloria Gaynor, Jahiegel, Railer13 ---
