Nemmers Scrum

Hello Footballers,

As I have been watching all the election polls this week, I can’t help but wonder how those guys with the big brains and lots of stats would be doing in our football pool.  I’m fairly confident they wouldn’t be doing much better than any of us. But you know who did do better than all of us? Whoosie. She’s the only one who got a perfect score last week with her bold pick of Vegas to go with the wins in Indy and Philly.  Nice Work Whoosie!!!!

The leaderboard has shifted again, and I’d like to point out the excellent positioning of one of our younger players, as Heidi has somehow snuck into the 4th spot, only 2 points off the lead.  Be careful, Heidi, or Uncle Bill will start with his trash talk.

This week we’ve got some “easier” games in the lineup.  Bigger spreads, but some teams we haven’t picked yet, or at least not in awhile.  Hopefully that’ll keep it fun.  I really wanted to pick the Dallas v. Pittsburgh game so Jim would have to pick the Steelers, but I thought that might not be the best idea for the pool…so you’re welcome, Jim, you’re welcome.  : – )

The picks for week 9 are:

Dolphins v. Cardinals
Raiders v. Chargers (in my head this is an Oakland v. San Diego game)
Saints v. Bucs  (the battle for most career touchdowns just got personal)

As we hit the half way point of the season, I am officially letting y’all know this is the last week for reminders to send in your picks. 8 weeks of practice you should have it in your routine by now.  Set yourself a reminder if you need to, but get those picks in, please.

This week’s picture is of Mary and Whoosie who are getting together for a visit this week. I wish I could be there too!

Good luck to everyone….and GO STEELERS!  (I know that’s getting annoying, but it seems to be working so I don’t want to jinx their success.)
