HALF OFF ON SURVIVOR PICKS...
Usually try to get something up and running Monday nights, but I'll be at the Seachicken game hoping it's actually a game!
Raise your hand if you didn't lose a pick Sunday...Yeah, that's what I thought. IF you got through this weekend unscathed, I bow in your direction, and you should buy lotto tickets! Well done!
50% of pools went right down the porcelain fixture...Yes, I said 50%!!! Not in my 14-years of doing Survivor pools have I seen such a Week-1 massacre. Made the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones look like a tea party!
DEN could be another 10% IF the mighty Seachickens pull off a miracle Monday night in the human highlighter unis. From the Circa contest down to Aunt Mable's $1 entry-fee pool, NOBODY was safe from losing an entry or two. Post Traumatic Survivor Syndrome will be in effect until we all get through a weekend without losing a team.
Circa actually faired better at only 36% knocked out.
I hope everyone has at least one pick or more, but the wild finishes to the morning games was a continuation of last years playoffs where no lead was safe and picked all our pockets!
Kickers as always had a say in it. The Saints kicker saved my ass. The CINN kicker might be working at Walmart with his performance even though they say the snapper was part of it all, but not challenging a TD catch cost them. The TENN kicker missed by a few feet to let NYG grab a win, but NYG went for two and got it like coaches should do! CLEVE has a game-winner, and INDY had a game loser, which ended up in a tie, but as we know, ties don't go to the runner in Survivor.
I had SF, and that was the only loss in each of my pools on my individual entries. Who knew I should have been checking weather reports in September! Lesson learned. NO saved me as I mentioned. KC and BALT gave me comfortable wins. CINN lost on a shared pick.
What did we learn class? Division games are always dicey. 3 out of 4 were close....Patty Mahomes & Josh Allen are stupid good...The AFC West is gonna be a brutal division...HOU is not as bad as we may think they are...MINN could be in a dogfight with GB for the division with pouty boy Aaron not a happy camper, but it's early. Reeeeelaxxxxx.
QUICK LOOK...
[email protected]...I didn't get to focus on CLEV game much, but going on the road is never easy, and they sucked it up to grab a win. JETS showed nothing in BALT game. Worth a look.
[email protected]...Not the best time to catch LAR coming off the big loss to BUFF. They have extra time off and will be pissy and want to take it out on ATL. ATL didn't embarrass themselves and almost grabbed a W vs. NO.
[email protected]...Never easy playing at altitude, but HOU will have some confidence going to Mr. 'Let's Ride's' backyard and will give it a go. We'll see how Bronco Russy looks with his new crew in SEA game.
[email protected]...Division game. I have no idea what CHI might do not playing in a tropical storm. GB will be salty off the MINN loss, and will want to right the cheese wheel.
[email protected]...Into the lion's den the Titans go. BUFF with extra rest off dismantling the SB Champs. IF BUFF slows Henry down, I don't see how they stay in the game. Home opener for the Bill's mafia will be mega-crazy.
DAK left the TB game, so see what's up and if he plays vs CINN. Might make CINN a play.
We can kick them around after we all recover from the blur that was the Sunday early game window...It had us all looking for a window to do a leap out of.
Over-reaction will run rampant this week as the talking heads build up the winners and blast the losers. Filter out the noise and seek clarity upon the top of a mountain if need be...Or in a hot tub with a JD and coke!
We fight on. It ONLY takes one pick to get some cash, so stay focused and off the Fireball!
GOOD LUCK!!!!
