Hello Footballers!
Sorry for no post with the picks on Saturday. Kevin and I (along with Adam and Lisa and Elizabeth) made a road trip to Austin to watch Bart play in an Australian rules football tournament. There was lots of eating (fried food at the Texas State fair, street tacos and bbq in Austin), and it was great to hang out with Bart and Elizabeth one last time before they head to the other side of the world.
Here’s a pic after one of Bart’s games….
Anyway, let’s get back to real American football. The pool got roughed up a bit this weekend. The Dolphins got trampled by Buffalo, spelling the end of the road for Mary, Howie and Whoosie. The controversial overtime call in New York that put the J-E-T-S over the Pats wiped out Tyler. Bailey and Charlie H. both got their 1st strike.
With this week’s shake ups there are now 11 people left in the pool, and only 4 have no strikes: Bill N., Dianne, Paul and the Sherburnes. Good stuff. Especially the Sherburnes, as I think last week they were eliminated in week 3? Obviously, whatever change in strategy they took on is working.
Carolina at Tampa Bay is the Thursday night game – otherwise get those picks in by the end of the day on Friday. There are a lot of good teams playing other good teams, and bad teams playing other bad teams in Week 8, so choose carefully. Fingers crossed that Uncle Bill goes with Jacksonville….
