I will certainly keep you posted! As it turns out, I took Pittsburgh last week. This week I took Dallas, and I advanced myself to Week #14. I kinda-sorta have a game plan, and assuming I get to Week 16 – that is where my issue lies. If I’m going to bite the dust, that’s the week it will most likely happen.

Keep blogging because without websites like yours, I can’t keep going! My pool still has a little over 100 people left as of Week 13. I’ll know Sunday if they all jumped on the Titan bandwagon Thanksgiving Day.

In any case, wish me luck!

Hey, glad to hear it Jane! I’m glad you took that advice and skipped over the Packer advice in the column. 6 figure payout? Wow. Let us know how it goes, and good luck!

“On a positive note, I wonder if I did sway a few people off of the Broncos, who were humiliated in front of their home fans to the Raiders?”

Let me say, that yes – you certainly did – and for that I thank you. Not only did that upset pare down my survivor pool substantially, avoiding it kept me alive. This year is my first crack at participating in a survivor pool, and for a woman who knew nothing of the game I think I’m doing pretty darn well. And no, I don’t pick the team with the pretty helmets or the bright colored uniforms…(if it were only that easy!)

I read websites like yours to educate myself, and give myself weekly crash-courses on the game, the teams, injuries and trends. A share of six figures awaits me in five weeks, if I can hang on. Ironically, I find myself watching games and enjoying them, even with nothing at stake. I’m liking it!!!

Thanks again..!!!
