Seattle

[PokerFace]

Jaguars

[pablito]

Haschel is dealt the first blow after being strikeless for 9 weeks.

Andy Dalton playing on a thursday on cbs and nfl network nationwide televised vs browns in 2014 (bengals loose)
Andy Dalton playing on a thursday only on nfl network vs browns in 2015 (bengals win)
Andy Dalton playing on a monday nationwide televised (bengals loose)
I detect a trend. Cardinals will likly beat them next week

Haschel's streak ended at 9 games which is more than 1/2 a season

I believe I am at 8 games, one more win I tie his streak

[PokerFace]

Jaguars

for week 11

Switching to

EAGLES

Man, I really wish I had remembered this comic.

Let's roll the dice with

Oakland

Andy: Hi I'm Andy Dalton and I have direct TV

Andy: And I'm "Can't Win in Primetime" Andy Dalton and I have cable

Andy: With Direct TV I can watch the game from multiple angles so I can be sure I'm playing ok

Andy: With Cable I can only watch the game from one angle so I can't tell if my hair looks straight

Andy: With Direct TV I can play back footage from old games so I can learn how to outwit my opponents

Andy: With cable I can't replay and re-watch old games, so I end up making the same mistakes over and over again

Andy: Don't be like this me. Get Direct TV!

[PokerFace]

Should have stuck with the jaguars. Can't win unless wraith and Haschel strike out now

[pablito]

It's do or die time for all players. All players have 2 strikes. Three players left in the game - who will take it now?

[Wraith]

AHAHAHAHA! I knew I saved the best teams for a reason!

Green Bay

[PokerFace]

Indianapolis Colts

[Haschel Cedricson]

Jacksonville

.

[pablito]

And with that curious upset...Wraith is out and only 2 players remain! Will this be the last week?

As a Bears fan I'm confused about that win.

What is this bullshit.

Green Bay how the fuck do you lose on the day honoring Favre?!

And I even got a baaaaad feeling about the match-up two days before Thanksgiving and considered changing my pick to Arizona -_-

[PokerFace]

Don't feel bad. If I still had GB available I'd have taken GB this week too

I'm currently debating on changing to Jacksonville or Oakland myself

[Haschel Cedricson]

And that's why I try to avoid divisional games.

[PokerFace]

TB has been on fire so yes i will switch to

Oakland

[PokerFace]

My fantasy team may not make playoffs but at least I won something this year

I think this is first time we had only 1 player left before season end

GG Wraith and Hashel. Congrats Haschel for having the longest streak and last one to get first strike

[Haschel Cedricson]

Boy, I certainly went from 0 to 3 a lot faster than I expected.

Nicely done, PokerFace; it was looking like both of our games could go either way for a little while.

[PokerFace]

yay I was cringing when oakland went behind for a bit there

Had all 3 of us gone down this week what would have happened Pablito?

a. We tie
b. Haschel wins because of his 9 game streak
c. The 3 of us respawn next week to continue the game until there is a true winner

There was no stated tiebreak, was there?

Probably it would've been A, but continue with additional picks if all three wanted to break the tie (officially or unofficially). I've never played a survivor pool before, so I was just going off of rules from last year.

Next year, I'd like to see a confidence points pick'em league.

[PokerFace]

The only tie breaker rules were:

The last remaining person wins. If more than one person is left standing after Week 17, the following tiebreaker is used:

1. The person who has the least amount of Strikes
2. The person who has the longest streak of correct picks
3. The person whose Winning Picks have the largest aggregate total score difference over the course of the season.

but that's for if more than on person survives. If no one survived I was wondering if the same rules would take effect or not. If the same rules took effect then Haschel would win with longest streak. If the same rules didn't happen then it would be A or C pending what you wanted to do pablito

I spoke with my sister in law earlier today. What they have at their work place is a Biggest Looser contest. Instead of picking one team to win each week, you pick one team to loose each week and can't use same team twice. This takes away the always bet against X because X sucks strategy. Though considering how well some teams played, you could have always picked whoever patriots and panthers were playing. So Biggest Looser is a game we can try next year if you guys are interested. Or we could go with the confidence thing or just keep things the same. Its pretty fun as is
