NFL Survivor Pool

A funny thing happened en route to the final week. After losing only two players in the last three weeks, three favorites dropped their games and knocked our pool almost in half. The Texans (-7) had nothing in the second half against the Raiders, the Broncos (-6.5) gave up a big lead to the Bills, and the Vikings (-3) can’t expect to fumble seven times and still beat the Falcons.

And don’t forget about Miami barely escaping the shoot-out with the Chiefs. Miami alone scored more points than the over-under.

I got a kick out of the Titans dismantling the Steelers. The two best teams in the league? Not really.

So we’re down to 10 players. If all 10 make it through week 17, it’ll be $277.50 per player. An interesting note: If we didn’t have buybacks at all, Drew would have won the pool this week. He’s the only one to pick 16 straight winners.

All picks due Sunday at 10am. However, I do have holiday plans on Sunday so unless everyone gets me their picks by early Sunday morning, the picks may not get posted before the games start unless I can get access to a computer later in the day.
