Last Man Standing Football Pool 2015

My picks...

Patriots
Packers
Colts
Texans
Jets
Seahawks
Dolphins
Jaguars
Cardinals
Chargers
Buccaneers
Bengals
Broncos
Cowboys

I may have picked the wrong underdogs. We'll see, it's still early.

I assume you know that you don't have to pick them all at once? That makes it much tougher. Just making sure. You can make changes as you go.

LOL. I know. But I also play against the boys in the office and so I posted my picks...for no apparent reason. Hope my picks didn't give anyone a false sense of security. Damn, those were some bad picks. :laugh:

Those were picks for week 1. I don't think anyone would pick the Bucks and jags in a survival pickem no matter how restricted the options :laugh:
 
Oh, I get it now. :smashfreakB:

Last year a friend of mine did what I was talking about - picked every week's game before game 1. He didn't last long. :)
 
Well, picking 1 week at a time didn't do any better this year ;swear

This was a pretty difficult week for survival pickem. Most of the 'good' matchups team-wise were divisional games or away. There was no easy, sure-fire pick. I picked GB over CHI in my other league (SEA over STL in this one) just to spread the risk.
 
With New Orleans down by 10 points in the 2nd half, it looks like this could be the hatchet week (my term). It seems like every year during the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd week of the season, we get a big favorite team beaten where we lose at least half the pack. 59% of the field took the Saints.

I nearly did not take the Saints knowing this, but in the end, I did. :1244:
 
So far only 3 people have moved on to week 3, with 8 more pending in Monday night's game. 72 eliminated this week and 92 of 103 are already out. I'm not sure where that 103rd team came from. I thought we only had 102?
 
Well, I'll bet that next year I don't pull a stunt like today...Wednesday I clicked on the Saints. Thursday a review I trust outlined why Cleveland would take the Titans, so I switched. This morning, I was reading the sports page injuries review...And I went back to the Saints... It is as it is...:(
 
Surveying the carnage, not only did 49 of us get whacked picking the Saints, NO ONE picked the Yucks. What's that saying about following the herd??
 
i'm proud of the fact i was the very first loser this season on opening thursday night. now i only watch nfl for the schadenfreude. j-e-t-s jets!
 
ha, and then there were 3.

stumble, bumble, fumble. 97% of the field eliminated by week 2. that was an ugly game.
 
I may start a "revival" pool so we can start over but their revival pool discount doesn't start until week #4, although I wouldn't be surprise if they made an exception this year. Yes, I do have to pay for these pools. I'll let you know.


Amazing!

DEADLINE to SIGN UP FOR REVIVAL POOL: September 27, 2015 at 1:00 PM ET

1st Place (Last Man / Woman Standing) = TSP Talk T-Shirt and a TSP Talk Travel Mug

2nd = TSP Talk Travel Mug

(see shirts / mugs)

Be careful! 1 loss and you're out!
 
According to the rules, if you fail to make a pick, you get the team that is the largest favorite for the week (that you have not used already). That said, I failed to make a pick on Sunday 9/20/2015, and based on what I can see in the reports I should have gotten New Orleans, but I instead got STL. I understand that I would have lost either way, but am curious how such a big discrepancy occurred.
