Nemmers Scrum

Hiya. We have picks in early this week as it’s coming down to the wire. There are two games selected across the three players for week 16.

It boggles my mind how after picking 15 teams, there are still teams available favored to win by 14.5 points. But that’s the reality with the Texans expected to win big over the lowly Raiders. 

The Saints-Jets matchup is a bit more dicey and more of what I’d expect at this point in the pool.

Good luck Sherburnes!

Welcome back, football fans. After a crash of excitement in week 14, the players were gifted an easy slow weekend of football where the favorites all won comfortably. Even though the Sherburnes spread their picks across three different teams, everyone came out unscathed.

And good news.. the Steelers have somehow won two in a row and are still dangling in the playoff hunt!

We are down to the final three weeks. If we make it to week 18, prepare for the ultimate tie breaker!

Week 16 picks are due Friday night. Cheers!

And then there were Sherburnes…   

Here we go with week 15. We have three different games to watch this week, which should keep things exciting. 

Good luck to our friends and family in San Antonio!

Ack! We were told the Saints had packed it up for the winter and were no longer participating this season. Instead, they inflicted a scrum-apocalypse knocking out all players not named Sherburne.

We are down to three players remaining, all from the same household in San Antonio. All previous family skirmishes over laundry, dishes and toilet seats have now been replaced by a fierce football pool rivalry. The gloves are off!

John and Margie are tied for the top with a clean sheet. Remi has one strike. Stay tuned to see what happens next!

Picks are due before Friday night.

cheers!

Here are the picks for this weekend. There are only two games of interest this week. Most people are rooting for the Buccaneers and a couple players are sitting this one out. Margie has gone independent picking the Broncos. This will be either a quiet weekend for the scrum or apocalyptic if the Saints decide to compete.

Good luck!

Kevin

And then there were seven…

The early games were brutal for our friends who picked the Ravens and Eagles. I thought maybe this was doomsday weekend with more upsets in store, but the Charges and Jaguars won comfortably.

We say goodbye to Mary and Fletcher from the pool and welcome them to the Peanut Gallery. We now have seven surviving players. John and Margie still lead the way undefeated, with five others limping along with one strike. We are running out of season to resolve this game, but fortunately we are also running out of playoff contenders to pick.

Week 14 picks are due Friday evening. If you choose to pick the early game, get it submitted before kickoff. I am interested to see how the picks shake out this week.

I hope everyone had a fun, relaxing Thanksgiving week without too much travel stress. Here are a handful of pics shared from different gatherings.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all had a fun holiday.

Here are the picks for this week’s games. The early games were not kind to our players. We have two more games tomorrow. There is a lot riding on the Chargers game this weekend.

Good luck everyone!

Yawn. What a boring week for your beloved commissioner. It’s so much more fun for me whenever someone gets a strike and the standings shuffle. The exception of course, is if I get a strike… in which case I’d prefer boring weeks like this.

The standings remain unchanged as there were no upsets for our players this week. There are still two undefeated Sherburnes (boo!) and seven other contenders with one strike (yay!)

There are lots of early games this week. Week 13 picks are due before kickoff for holiday games and Friday night for everything else. I’ll send out the picks once I receive them all.

I hope everyone is doing something fun this week with friends or family. Please send me any fun pictures from your Thanksgiving adventures.

cheers!

Happy Weekend-Before-Thanskgiving everyone! Here are the picks for Sunday.

We have 4 games to focus on this week. Violet will be relaxing on the couch, sitting this one out. I probably should have done the same.

Go Steelers!

Kevin

Week 11 has come and gone. The standings remain exactly as before. Even though Baltimore, Green Bay and Houston kept it close, everyone won and advanced this past weekend.

We still have 2 perfect players and 7 other contenders. However, after 11 weeks the number of favorite teams has to be dwindling. Right?!

Ready or not, week 12 is waiting for you. Send in your picks by Friday night.

cheers!
