You know the routine, you buy squares on a 10 x 10 grid, the numbers are randomly assigned once the grid is complete and at the end of each quarter if the teams’ last numbers of their score match your square- you win! (Not a very good explanation but I’m assuming we all know what I’m talking about).

Anyway, I set up the one used at my work place this year. It was $5.00 per square with a payout of $125 per quarter. My numbers are -predictably- as lame as the lamest lame-o who ever hailed from Lametown. At least I don’t have to worry about accusations of rigging the damn thing.

I have: Indy - 5 / Chic - 4. Indy - 0 / Chic - 8. Indy - 8 / Chic - 1. Indy - 6 / Chic - 9 (that one might stand a chance if it’s Field Goal City like it was in the Colts / Ravens game).

So who else. What ya got?

Man, this is definitely one of the drawbacks to telecommuting. If I were to run the office box pool that I used to run, I’d have to buy all 100 boxes. Well, I suppose I could sell a few to my wife and daughter, but it really wouldn’t be the same.

Best numbers 7-0-4 and 3 in that order. If you have 2-5-or 8 just watch the game .
