Week 11 recap
This week was the first time that an NFL tie has affected the pool. As I had previously mentioned, the last time the NFL had a tie was in 2002, the first year I ran this pool. However, when it happened in week 10 of 2002, noone picked either team so it didn’t mean anything but did prompt me to clarify the rule around picking a winning team.
Anyhow, we’re down to 26.
Again there wasn’t a clear-cut favorite team this week, seeing how 32 players picked 9 different teams. Probably a little anxious for some who picked the Colts, Dolphins or Panthers. They all trailed in their games at some point. Colts were down 13-9 to the Texans at the half. Raiders were leading the Dolphins 15-14 with less than a minute to go. Panthers were down more than halfway through the second quarter.
If you want to pick in the Thursday night game, I must have your pick by Thursday at 5pm. Otherwise, all other picks due Sunday at 10am.
A reminder for next week: Because it’s Thanksgiving, ALL PICKS for Week 13 are due Thursday morning at 10am.
