Yes this week has made things interesting. The 3 teams with 2 outs all survived but the other 3 all lost a life. ---

Are people still playing that much? I know it seems like I’ve somehow been running away with it all season in the pick’ems. ---

All but two people are making their picks every week. I know there hasn’t been much discussion. I usually post more but I’ve been lazy about it the last few years. I think getting kicked out of the survival league early ended up reducing my interest this year. We still have 5 players in survival which is pretty good at this point of the season. Two strikes for four of them but Indiana Poi Dogs is still at 1. ---

Still playing though have been thinking I was playing for 2nd. Having said that recently I have been chipping away and after the early games lat week was even thinking I could pull off a come back, if the chargers and Lions had won I would have gort within 20 points of you. ---

Despite being in 7th place in Pick’em and Confidence, I’m 1st in Spread? This is why I don’t gamble on sports. ---

Don’t forget there are saturday games now. It’s dumb but I forget my Thursday games half the time. I don’t know why I can’t just make my picks early in the week and I’ve got to wait until the night before the games like I’m cramming for a test after an all nighter. ---

Indiana Poidogs loses their 2nd life so we are all one loss from elimination, with 3 of us relying on GB in MNF. If they lose it is down to the final 2. ---

And just like that the survival is over. I lucked out and went for the Buccs rather than the Colts in a toss up decision. ---
