Nemmers Scrum

Hello Footballers,

I hope that everyone is having a good week.  Even though the Steelers let us down (against “Football Team” no less!) we are having a nice week here in Dallas enjoying some sunshine, trying to figure out what to get everyone for Christmas (for your children we have picked out puppies and drum kits), and looking forward to basketball season (only 2 more weeks until we see Luka!)

Congrats to the many many people who did great this past week. For all the belly aching about how hard it was in week 13, most of the pool got either greater than 4 points. With all that success, I was encouraged and selected games with small spreads again. If you didn’t do so good, maybe pull a George Castanza this week and go with the complete opposite of your instinct. Who knows? Each week is its own little mystery.

As you can see from the overall standings, the top of the leaderboard is still pretty tight. Only 5 points separating the top 5 players.  Is there time for anyone to make a surge? I guess we’ll see soon enough.  But, congrats to Paul for staying out in front.

The picks for Week 14 are:

Texans v. Bears
Steelers v. Bills (Sunday Night)
Ravens v Browns (Monday Night)

With each week getting more wobbly, I am keeping my fingers crossed that all these games get played.  Please make sure to get your picks in by the end of the day on Friday.  Really, that’s just tomorrow, so just do the picking now and get it crossed off you’re weekend to-do list.

I didn’t get any fresh photos this week, so here’s one of a Christmas lights display near our house that we took Mom and Dad to when they were here in December a few years back.  If you come see us in December, we will probably try to take you as well.
