Yeah, I know how you feel. I forgot all 3 on Thanksgiving, and when the races are this close, it hurt. I only got put behind one point in the spread league, but I’d have gotten all 3 in the pick’em, and I’d have made dallas-tampa a high value one in the spread league. I dropped from 1st 2nd 2nd in the leagues to 2nd 4th 4th I think 😕 ---

Are we going to bother resetting the Survival pool for the last two weeks of the season? ---

2 of them picked Seattle. So we’ll either have a winner or a three-way tie depending on the Baltimore-Cleveland game. ---

Ah, yeah, then by all means reset it. I’m not in charge of it. Thankfully Jacksonville can’t play Houston 3 times a season… except in the playoffs… maybe in 2042. ---

Interesting – Yahoo is declaring **meek** the Survival winner. Yes, in a chronological sense, everyone else has been eliminated. But if the Browns beat the Ravens on Sunday, then it should be a three-way tie. Well, whatever – with only two weeks left in the season there’s not much point in a reset, but if people want to have a two-week runoff just for shits n’ giggles, then I’m game. ---

Makes sense, **Hal**. He survived the longest. Good to know in future Survival Pools - pick Monday night games. Frakkin’ SanFran. ---

Interesting week. More easy picks than usual, but aside from those, a lot of hard games. Especially hard picking in the 6-12 range in the confidence league. I should’ve put out a reminder for the Saturday game. I barely remembered myself. Reminder: ArchitectChore My Fantasy Team is in Jail Isotopes Shibb’s Unskilled Hacks Hal’s Rabid Ferrets Flaming Pustules ---

Turns out I’m a dumbass. I knew this game was coming, because I went looking for software with which to view the game. Yet, it didn’t occur to me to get my damn pick in. Didn’t hurt me too much in the confidence league, because it would’ve been a low confidence game, but it probably cost me a point in the other leagues. Oh well. Don’t forget the saturday game too. Last week’s top scores: Confidence: 108 Shibb’s Unskilled Hacks (won despite not picking the first 2 games) 103 Chitwood 102 No Use For A Name Spread: 14 Kid\_A’s Picks 9 Frosted Glass, SenorBeef’s delicious picks Straight up: 12 Kid\_A’s Picks 11 Unskilled Hacks, Court Jesters Total (this may reflect tonight’s game, not sure): 1 Transcontinental Tricycle 1213 1213 2 Checkered Demon 1200 1200 3 meek is clearly insane 1192 1192 1 Stuffy’s picks 114 114 2 Omni’s Crystal Balls 111 111 3 SenorBeef’s delicious picks 107 107 1 Omni’s Crystal Balls 140 140 1 Chitwood 140 140 3 Fear the Turtle 139 139 ---

Just want to gloat a little - despite forgetting Thursday’s game, I finished first in both Pick 'Em and Pick 'Em Spread, and second in Confidence this week.
