I was glad that I checked it again right before game time. Leaving my picks of the Raiders and the Steelers would have sucked. But I agree, it’s really shitty of Yahoo to do that. Did they give a reason, or did Vegas take all three games off the books?

I just checked the Survival game and there are three players left including me (Fear the Turtle, Ghost’s Picks, and BigDadWolf.

I can only pick the Broncos since I had already selected the Seahawks.

Ghost’s Picks can only select the Seahawks since he/she already selected the Broncos.

As far as I can tell, Fear the Turtle has already picked both Denver and Seattle so are unable to select a winner for this week and are eliminated.

So it seems it’s down to me and the Broncos versus Ghost’s Picks and the Seahawks - winner take all.
