Happy Halloween Footballers,
Did you remember Daylight Savings? I hope so:
I hope that everyone gave away all the junk candy and kept the Reese’s cups and Snickers for themselves. The rain stopped long enough here and it actually turned into a pretty nice night.
Ok, back to football. As John pointed out to me this week, “In the last couple of years a lot of people dropped out in weeks 8, 10 and 11. I guess it takes that many weeks before all of the good teams are used up.” Leave it to an accountant to run the numbers from past years. Anyway, he has a point. Lots of good teams have been picked already, and so the gamble of when these surprise good teams are going to run out of luck comes into play. This week, 3 people took a chance on 6-0 Carolina. Will their luck hold against Colts? You realize the Colts have a horseshoe as their logo – you feelin’ that Lucky, Kevin, John and Celia? Sadly, they will all make us wait until the end of the Monday night game to see if they are right.
The other popular pick is the 3-3 Rams against the 49ers. 3 and 3? Clearly, people are running out of choices.
But, to all of you I say “HAH!” As Stephanie and Jim can back me up, I picked New England to win. Since was the Thursday night game, and they did win, I’ll be sitting back eating Vi’s flavored tootsie rolls and watching the rest of you sweat it out.
Anyway, good luck to everyone. We’ll see if John’s predictions of the fall-off are true!
