Another week of tough picks. Rich wins this week! It doesn’t matter whether Indy wins or loses (we all hope they win), Rich will take the pool this week. Congrats to Rich!

NFL Week 8 – Rich Wins!
Sunday, October 31st, 2010NFL Week 7
Monday, October 25th, 2010
It’s Ed and Mom this week. If Dallas wins, we tie. If the Giants win, Ed wins. Go Giants!
NFL Week 6
Sunday, October 17th, 2010
Cally is the clear winner this week! Again, a tough week to pick: St. Louis over San Diego, New England over Baltimore, Minnesota over Dallas. We’re still in the middle of the Indianapolis vs. Washington game, so there are still two undecided races here. There is a slight chance that Ashley will tie Cally, but Cally wins in all possible outcomes.
Go Cally!
UPDATE: Monday morning, Indy wins! If Tennessee wins, Cally and Ashley will tie. Otherwise, it’s a straight Cally win.
UPDATE: Tennessee wins! Cally and Ashley tie for the week.
NFL Week 5 – Ann and Tom win!
Monday, October 11th, 2010
Another series of upsets! Tampa Bay is 3-1, Kansas City s 3-1, Dallas is 1-3, Detroit wins with 44 points scored, Oakland beats San Diego, … the list goes on. Glad to be able to see the Colts yesterday morning from CBS Los Angeles — Colts’ early games on Sunday are rarely played on-air in California and I’m not paying DirecTV $400 for the privileged of watching all the Colts games from here.
Congrats to Ann and Tom on their first win! Feels good, no? Tom Williams made a valiant effort and I thought he’d win for awhile. Gabi was busy counting her points all day Sunday, but she would have been a longshot.
Week Four of Football
Tuesday, October 5th, 2010
After last night’s terrible showing by Chicago (undefeated? really?), there are three potential winners for this week’s pool. If New England wins, Gabi walks away with everything. If Miami wins, Cally and Ed split the pool.
Can you believe the only undefeated team now is Kansas City? Wow …
UPDATE: Gabi wins!
Football Week 3
Sunday, September 26th, 2010
Andy wins again! Again, a lot of upsets pushing total points down close to 90 even for the winners. Tom W. was winning during after the afternoon games, but the Jets managed to beat Miami Sunday evening.
Indiana Trip
Sunday, September 26th, 2010
Bistro 501, Lafayette
Just got back from a three day stay in Indianapolis. The highlight was taking Mom to Lafayette for dinner at Bistro 501 with Nic and Marti (great place!). Mom is in great shape; she has some major projects under way. Also saw Helen, Tom and TJ while in Indy.
Indianapolis Colts swag
And what’s a trip to Indy without a quick trip to the sports section of the local Walmart for Colts swag? Kids (and Gabi) loved it. Great going against the Broncos this weekend, Colts.
NFL Week 2 – Rich Wins!
Monday, September 20th, 2010
Wow! What a ton of upsets! Chicago, Tampa Bay, Miami, the Jets, Pittsburgh …
But Rich navigated through it better than the rest of us. Regardless of the results of New Orleans at San Francisco, he wins the pool this week.
Andy Wins Week One!
Tuesday, September 14th, 2010
It was a tight game between Kansas City and San Diego. I wasn’t expecting that! Congrats to Andy on winning week one of the pool!
NFL Week One
Monday, September 13th, 2010
NFL Week One still has two games to play (San Diego at Kansas City and Baltimore at the NY Jets), but here is how the numbers in our confidence pool wrap up. If San Diego wins, Ed takes the first week. If Kansas City wins, then it’s a split between Cally (for a Jets win) and Andy (for a Baltimore win).
It seems odd to me that so many people chose the Jets with so many points. I thought this was my long-shot for Monday night. I suppose everyone really likes the story of the Jets: foul-mouthed coach, young quarterback and surprise post-season team from last year. I think the Baltimore Ravens have a much more solid team and much better chance tonight.
