Week 16 Picks – and then there were 2

Posted on by • 0 comment

Being so busy with smiling and singing and all the other pre-Christmas activities, I am a little behind here on the posts.  So, let’s get up to speed.

First off – last week (week 15) Dad was eliminated.  He lost 2 and Celia and Paul each only lost 1.  Now, it’s just down to those tough competitors from the frozen north (or at least those who are far, far away from Texas).
This week, both Celia and Paul have selected the Redskins and Panthers, so toss those games out.  The only ones that matter are the Texans v. Colts (Celia picked the Texans – uh oh), and Chiefs v. Raiders (Paul has the Chiefs).   I had on sports center while I was wrapping gifts last night and I know how the Texans faired, and it doesn’t look good for Celia.  She may have to stop pulling for the green and gold long enough to root for the silver and black.
See you in a few days – Merry Christmas!

Week 15 picks

Posted on by • 0 comment

Somehow, like a bad action movie, the bullets keep flying but none of you get hit.  All 3 still standing.  This week, everyone picked the Cardinals, so throw that one out.   Titans, Saints, Raiders, Bills and Bengals are all in play.  I’m too busy worrying about naughty and nice to figure out what wins and losses mean what.  Good luck to all of you.  (It’s good to be back!)…

Week 14 Picks

Posted on by • 0 comment

Picks are up.  I am now cheering for Charlie… although, it’s really hard to decypher the pick matrix to figure out which teams I really need to win or lose.   This change of heart is due purely to my ongoing devotion to my beloved father-in-law and has nothing to do with the beer he promised.  Sorry, Paul.

Everyone picked the Seahawks, so it looks like that game can be ignored.  Jets, Broncos and Lions are the teams to watch this week.  

Good luck everyone.  Especially Charlie.

Week 13 Results – And Then There Were 3

Posted on by • 0 comment

OK – so is it my job to read all the sports news and realize that Cutler was out for the season?  The Bears were unstable enough with him… I would have never have been suckered into picking them had I known the starting QB was injured.  It looks like Dianne and Tyler share my ignorance of Chicago sports news and they also took the big fall.

Doh!!

Celia, Charlie N and Paul remain.  Emily says these blog posts should not show bias, but as an out-law, I’m pulling for Paul.  But for beer, I can be bribed to root for any of the final 3.

Here is the current field. As Emily stated in her week 12 post, the survivors now have to pick 3.  This should be ugly, but hopefully someone can rise to the challenge.  Good luck!

Week 13 Picks – Double Up!

Posted on by • 0 comment

Hello Super-Six!  Here are the picks for this week.  Dad let us all down and didn’t pick any ties: CHICKEN!!!!  Anyway, it is a weird amalgamation of picks of 49ers, Bears, Patriots and a splash of a few other teams thrown in for good measure.

Since I will be out over the ocean all day Sunday, Kevin has kindly agreed to post this week’s results and next week’s picks.   If this thing is decided while I am out of the country I’m gonna be bummed, so I hope at least 2 people move on to next week.

If you need a reminder of all the different win/lose scenarios, please see the previous post.

Good Luck Everyone!  (Keep your fingers crossed I don’t get eaten by a shark or hit by a boomerang while I am away!)
