Week 11: The Field Is Set

Week 11 of the Pick’Em is here.

After some tumultuous weeks, here we are in the second half of the football season.

This may be surprising, but there’s still almost 2 months of the season to go.  That’s 18 weeks of the Regular Season, and then The Playoffs.

We’ve still got quite a ways to travel in this boat, friends.

The point is there’s still plenty of time to strike gold.  Yes, you have plenty of opportunity yet.

With that said, let’s get down to business.

We have 80 players this week taking a shooting at a pot of an even $400.

Pot’s right.

(for those that don’t know: when wagering moolah, once the pot is considered “right” that means that the Winner can expect to gain that amount.  In other words, the house” is guaranteeing that specific amount in the prize pool.  Regardless of what happens, if you Win you get that money – no excuses)

And the field for Week 11 is below:

 

FOR THE WEEK

  • the pot is $400
  • there are 80 players
  • we did have a unanimous pick last week and we all lost! So I’m happy to report that we have none this week, but Houston is the favorite of our field.
  • The underdog pick this week has Cleve, Susan M, Lanetta, and J Don picking Cleveland to score a big upset over visiting Baltimore.  That’s bold: good luck folks!
  • the reining Champ is Big Will, Winning in a photo finish to emerge from a four-way tie with the Victory.  That was one of the closest finishes to date, and an illustration of how the tiebreaker format can come into play.  Check out that post here for details.

 

PLEASE NOTE: while I do my best to get each & every pick correct, sometimes I make mistakes.  If I do mess up, just reach out to me (you can leave a comment below the post & I’ll fix it ASAP).  I need to know before the affected game Kicks Off, otherwise, that puts the rest of the field at a competitive disadvantage.  Sound good?

ANNOUNCEMENT: The picks fWeek 13 (Thanksgiving Week) are due in on Wednesday, November 26th at Midnight.  There will be plenty of reminders.
Thank you.

That’s it folks.  Enjoy the games.  And Good Luck.
