Welcome back, Scrumketeers! I hope you got to watch a little football on Sunday. There were some exciting games. The most inspiring was the Steelers flexing their black & yellow muscles against the evil Ravens. But there were also some good games for the scrum as well. In Los Angeles, the Bengals went full Bungle in the first half, but pulled it together in the second half to make a game of it. The game came down to the wire, but the Chargers held them off in the end. The Bills and Chiefs had a great game, but in the end the Bill flexed and broke away. In Denver it was never a contest… the Broncos scored early and often and pummeled the Falcons.
We had a good variety of picks this week and consequently a good spread of results. Mary was the lone perfect picker, but five others had a nice 4-point week. Congrats to Mary, Violet and a handful of old men!
Overall, the standings remain boring at the top. Mary pulled away even further with her perfect week. Will she ever stumble? Adam and John are working hard to keep her in their sights. But even more important, I cracked the top ten! Yes, I am just as excited as you are. Let’s see if I can hang onto it for one week.
Those games were fun for the pool. Can we follow it up in week 12? Maybe. It was slim pickings. Here are the next set of games:
- 49ers @ Packers
- Cardinals @ Seahawks
- Ravens @ Chargers
You know the drill – picks due Friday!
