Nemmers Scrum

Hello Footballers,

It was for sure a crazy week for the pool.  Whew-boy, those night games were something. Did you see it, with all the twists and turns? Were you excited? Of course I am talking about the fact that the Sunday Night Game (Steelers v. Bills) featured two head coaches that were teammates at William and Mary about the same time as some other great human you all know. Go Tribe!

Oh, and there was also that edge-of-your-seat craziness in Cleveland. So many twists and turns, and even a potty break. You can’t make this stuff up. But, I bet a lot of people who had money on the game wished that the Browns would have made up something other than a safety on the last play to leave Baltimore covering the spread. 2 seconds on the game clock were never so expensive.

Congrats to Mary and Whoosie, whose dedication to the Bears made them the two perfect pickers for week 14.  Well Done!  The pool also saw some major shake ups at the top, with 2 of the leaders going into the week both got goose eggs. After the dust had settled, we’ve got Bill, Margie and Adam in the 1 to and 3 spots respectively. And, a tight pack of about 7 or 8 more right on their tails. It’s gonna come down to the wire!

Here’s the picks for Week 15:

49ers v. Cowboys (got bumped from the Sunday night game)
Bears v. Vikings (tied records, division on the line)
Browns v. Giants (the Sunday Night game that the ‘boys got flexed for).

This week’s picture is meant to calm your frantic brains after all the football chaos we’ve seen this week – it’s the view from Whoosie’s window during the weather last weekend.

Good luck to everyone. Go Steelers!
