Yeah, the Baltimore Penal Colony league is closed. And I won! 🙂

Nevermind those five other guys, they don’t count.

> Twas another Survival league. Last week there were six people left. All but one picked the Giants; the other picked the Chefs. So it ended in a six week tie. Might explain why I didn’t find the league opened again. 🙂 Anyway, my pick is safely in for this weekend, but there are some tough matches out there. Only a couple of “gimmes” and I’m paranoid about those so went with something a little more esoteric.

That was me picking the Chiefs, a diehard Giants fan. After Detroit, I didn’t have any faith in the Gints against weak teams.

Glad we could wreck that for you, although as I noted I’d have likely picked the Chefs myself if I were able to pick that week.

Just posting a note to anyone who’s in the Baltimore Penal League Survivor pick set, I’ve just reset it so get some pick submitted before the games Sunday.

My picks are in. I decided to go with different picks in each league so, hopefully, I won’t be out in both come next week. Given my penchant, I wouldn’t be surprised to be on the outside looking in after this weekend.
