The early games have finished, it isn't looking pretty. Four players have four points and three players have no points. Only two players picked Buffalo, and neither of them is leading. I just glad I don't have a bookie. I'd be working on a third mortgage.

We've already dropped four in the loser pool. The remaining games should sort some more things out in the other pools.

Oh, and the 72 Dolphins have popped the champagne corks once again.

Hang in there, Bears!

BonesCPA · 11-07-2004, 05:00 PM

Congratulations Jesus Malverde

The Suicide Pool is officially over. We have one survivor. By picking Atlanta, New England, Seattle, Denver, Indianapolis, St. Louis, New Orleans, Dallas and finally San Diego, Jesus Malverde has topped us all. In second place, is Dengar who finally succumbed with his pick of the NY Giants. Well done to both of you.

BonesCPA · 11-07-2004, 05:06 PM

In the regular football pool, with two games left to play, there are only two potential winners. Spartakand crazybill5280 both have 8 wins so far. Both have picked Baltimore tonight. No one with 7 wins picked Cleveland, so it is up to the Monday night game. If Indianapolis wins, Spartak is the winner for week 9. If Minnesota wins, then crazbill5280 claims the title for the week. Good luck both of you.

In the Loser Pool, tonight's and Monday night's games could reduce the remaining players even further. At this point, only two players have picked losers with two potential losers still hanging in. So far, seven players picked wrong, and two didn't pick. We could go into the fifth week of the pool with only two players. Further updates tomorrow.

Congratulations Jesus, you got some nice picks there.

Dengar · 11-07-2004, 10:09 PM

congrats jesus. Like i said in the suicide thread it was going to be tough to beat the right hand of god. lol

it was a well fought pool and im very pleased with my performance. I consider it a moral victory since i got this far without picking new england, minn, seattle, or Indy. But than agian if i had maybe i wouldnt have lost

again congrats and well played.

oh and.... damn giants! losing to the bears and craig krenzel?!?! pffftt

Spartak · 11-08-2004, 12:05 AM

Go Colts Go!!!

Looks like me picking the Steelers worked out a treat

Oh and congrats Jesus, I got bounced out of the Pool in week 1, I'd love to know how you do it.

I agree. I know I was a homer picking the Eagles, but what is going on with the rest of the league? In what world do nine sub .500 teams win and only 8 over .500 win? I can't wait for this week to see how next week's games play out.

Sion · 11-08-2004, 11:22 AM

I fucked up. I screwed around on saturday and forgot to put my picks in for both the Loser pool and the regular pickem pool. By the time I realized it on Sunday, the threads were locked. That means Im out of the loser pool, right? Anyway, from the way things went yesterday, I'd probably have only got at most a half dozen of the games right, so I didnt lose much ground in the pickem pool.

I'll be back in next week. I'll be sure to put my picks in on saturday BEFORE I partake of the flyman.

Jesus Malverde · 11-08-2004, 11:38 AM

Da Bears.

Many thanks to Bones CPA for running the pools, and thank you to my gracious opponents who fought hard but couldn't resist choosing Green Bay.

I didn't really have a set strategy, I just tried to pick against the teams who were in over their heads. Home field advantage seemed to work pretty well for me. I knew the contest wouldn't last until the playoffs, so I didn't worry about picking New England or Indianapolis early. Sorry Arizona/Oakland/Miami fans, but my other strategy was to see who was playing those teams and go with them.

Man, if I could only have this kind of luck with my football parlays...

laconic1 · 11-08-2004, 09:02 PM

Congrats Spartak, it was a tough week.

Spartak · 11-08-2004, 09:58 PM

I only saw the last two minutes, but it was all I need to see

Good show, but still I can't believe some of the picks I made... when will I learn NOT to pick the Cowboys ??!

bundy · 11-08-2004, 11:44 PM

well done to everyone who survived this week. looks like it was a nightmare (we don't get coverage, so what i hear here is all i know).

and congrats Jesus!!

BonesCPA · 11-09-2004, 08:40 AM

Well, Spartak, here's your prize.

Hopefully they will come in "hand" at the most inopportune time.

Spartak · 11-09-2004, 12:14 PM

Oh my goodness!
