We have another Survivor winner. Congrats to Daphne Porter (GuamGirl) who benefitted from her competitors LA Rams upset over the Bills and is the Sole Survivor in the Main Pool's Loser Pool. The winner pool has three poolsters remaining: Chance Glascock (JOK Chance), Margaret Andrews (Magzzzz8), and Suzanne Werning.

Second Chance Survivors took a hit as we went from 57 down to 44 in the Main Pool and 13 to 7 in the Platinum Pool.

Craig Degraw (CraKar) is hoisting the weekly trophy this week in the Main Pool while Greg Bowie (GBO) needed the late Cincy TD (a FG was no good) to capture the win in the Platinum Pool.

We have a new leader in the Main Pool's Monday Night category as Paul Pedersen's (PP's West Canaan Coyotes) Bang On vaulted him into the lead.

League play final Eight start the last round of round robin with the division winners squaring off for the League Championship and the Runner-Ups facing off for the Final Prize money spots.

Don't forget to make your push for the Playoff Pool (Top 100 Overall in Main Pool and Top 50 in Platinum Pool) to have a chance to win more money.

Best of luck to you all in Week 15.

If Dallas wins or if Cincinnati wins between 1-11 or by 35 or more then Craig Degraw (CraKar) captures the main prize.

If Cincinnati wins between 12-33 then Charlie Walker (DarnoldsDaddy) is your weekly champ.

If Cincinnati wins by 34 these two would split the top 2 prizes.

If Dallas wins or if Cincinnati wins between 1-6 or by 42 or more then Gavin Curley ("!") can go on a Christmas spending spree.

If Cincinnati wins between 7-11 then Greg Bowie (GBO) slides into victory lane.

If Cincinnati wins between 13-40 then Dave Wood will be filling up his tank with Premium next time.

If Cincinnati wins by 12 then Greg and Dave would tie.

If Cincinnati wins by 41 then Gavin and Dave would be splitting the top prizes.

If Dallas wins between 3-18 then Neil McMann (Steel City Mayhem) wins top spot (tiebreaker win over Bald Ricky)

If Cincinnati wins or if Dallas wins by 1, 2, or by 19 or more then Justin Kovats (Bald Ricky) gets to advance (tiebreaker win over Geoff Manning)

Ashley Pescott advances (6-1 record)

Bruce Faulkner (Dak Dak Dak Bruce) advances (6-1 record)

Todd Paley (Marine O's) advances (6-1 record)

Peter Lostale advances (6-1 record)

James Pressley (JOK Press) advances (5-2 record and wins H2H tiebreaker over Keith Hamel (Headbangers))

Eddie Dagg (Lucky Leprechaun) advances automatically because if he loses his match this week he would be in a 3-way tie and owns H2H tiebreakers over both (Don Milner (JOK Donny M) and Pamela Garnett (2Hawk2Handle).

Allen Cheng (Al Dawg) advances (6-1 record)

Good luck to all you involved.

Well aren't we the bunch of experts this week.....LOL. There was a full slate of 16 games this week and not only did all our Survivor picks succeed but there were 23 poolsters in the Main Pool and 6 poolsters in the Platinum Pool to pluck all 16 games correctly. This was the week where you all go "What am I supposed to do win???". Well the answer is be great with your spread points.

Dave Smith (D.SMITH) nailed a Bang On on Monday night to squeeze into his target window to win the Main Pool.

Steve Howerton (Howie) also liked the late pick on Monday night to secure his weekly win in the Platinum Pool.

Jim Carpenter has overtaken the lead in both the Main and Platinum Pools.

Mike Rochefort (Rocky) was only poolster to manage 4 Bang On's in the Main Pool.

Robin Vallee (Sticker Shock Block) had the best US Thanksgiving than the rest in the Main Pool. Steve Howerton's (Howie) good start in Turkey Day rolled into the weekly win in the Platinum Pool.

The League Play is going into its final week of the Secondary Round. Congrats to Ashley Pescott, Peter Lostale, and Allen Cheng (Al Dawg) who have all punched their ticket to the Elimination Round (Elite Eight) while 5 Groups are still up for grabs this week.

Good luck to all in Week 14. The last week for teams with a bye week.

Happy December everyone!!! I have some weekly scenarios for you.

If Cleveland wins or if Denver wins between 1-8 or by 35 or more then Matt Nielsen wins the week.

If Denver wins between 9-12 then Dave Smith (D.SMITH) pushes his way into victory lane.

If Denver wins between 13-33 then Steve Howerton (Howie) takes the title.

If Denver wins by 34 then Matt and Steve would tie for the weekly.

This is a two horse race.

If Cleveland wins or if Denver wins between 1-6 then Matt Nielsen would win this pool as well.

If Denver wins between 7-31 then Steve Howerton (Howie) is the weekly champ.

If Denver wins by 32 or more then Matt and Steve would tie for the weekly.

Good luck to those involved tonight.

For all of you who have NOT entered your picks yet.......what are you waiting for. Daniel Jones is a Viking now if that helps. You can enter your Thursday and Friday picks NOW. All three of your Thursday picks need to be entered before the morning deadline of 9:25am PST and your Friday pick by 11:55am PST.

Kudos goes out to Graham Dowhy (Charlie Brown Punters) in the Main Pool and Glen Harrison (Sunday Funday!!!!!!) in the Platinum Pool for being our weekly winners.

I forgot to mention a special highlight for Week # 11 as Craig Degraw (CraKar) took a risk selecting Detroit by a whopping 36 points over Jacksonville and was rewarded as he scored 51 points in one game.  FYI Gridiron Record is 60. Right Steve Werning....LOL.

Accuracy is good, and the best this week were Kevin Tao (KTao) and Deby Wnuk (Red Leader) who were the only ones to salvage 3 Bang On's this week.

The end of the Original Survivor Pool is growing near as we only have 3 Winners left and 4 Losers remaining. The Second Chance Survivor pool was a bloodbath this week as the Main Pool went from 214 candidates down to 57 and the Platinum went from 50 to 13.

The Non-Sun-Mon category should see some shuffling as there will be 4 games counting this week (Thur-Fri).

Best of luck to you all this week and to my USA friends and families.....Happy Thanksgiving.

We have some scenarios this week.

Miles Powell will be your weekly winner if LA Rams win.

Paul Baadsvik (JohnRaven) will capture the win if Baltimore wins between by 10 or more.

Graham Dowhy (Charlie Brown Punters) needs to fall victorious with the parameters of a Baltimore win between 1-9 to have the bragging rights.

Rob MacAdams (Los Dos Hombres con el Gordo) is your weekly winner with an LA Ram win or if Baltimore wins between 1-6 or 22 or more.

Glen Harrison (Sunday Funday!!!!!!!) needs a Baltimore win between 7-9 to be victorious.

Paul Baadsvik (JohnRaven) has a window of Baltimore to win between 10-13 to be our weekly champion.

Dave Wood has a shot of winning is Baltimore wins between 14-20 and would tie Rob MacAdams if they win by 21.

Best of luck to all of you involved.

Good luck to everyone in Week 12.

Congrats to Rob Kanazawa (QB4DP) who has gone 12-1 with a couple of Bang On's to clinch the weekly.

Not clinched but Warren Weld (JOK Wiz) has one out. He needs a Houston by 13 win to eek out the win. Otherwise Rob wins this pool too.

Good luck.

It was one of our quieter weeks but not for Noelle Stephens (Forever Falcons) and Glen Evans (trainwreck) as they were the weekly winners.

Noelle had the best record going 12-2 while Paul Baadsvik (JohnRaven) had the best in the Platinum Pool going 11-3.

Mika Mokkanen (Norsemen) managed to pluck 4 Bang On's to lead the Main Pool while Brody Black (Aussie Rules) was the only poolster to get 3 in the Platinum Pool.

We have a new leader in the Monday Night category in the Main Pool as Warren Johnstone (Tua Be Or Not Tua Be) plucked his Miami Dolphin teams win to vault into the top spot.

The Survivor Pool lost one each so we have 5 left in the Winners and 7 left in the Losers.

Second Chance Survivor Pool took another big hit this past week losing another 121 to bring the total down to 278 in the Main Pool. The Platinum Pool lost 40 to lower their total to 64.

Good luck to all in Week 11.

Pretty straight forward this week:

If LA Rams win between 1-5 or by 7 or more then Ian Powell (E) is your victor.

If LA Rams wins by 6 then Chris McTague (Tagger) would steal the win.

If Miami wins then Noelle Stephens (Forever Falcons) would fly away victorious.

Even more straight forward.

If Miami wins Glen Evans (trainwreck) is your champ.

If LA Rams win then Dallas Leclerc (Smokin Punts) cashes in.

Good luck to all.

There is a game in Munich this week so one Sunday game starting at 6:30am PST so please remember to get that pick in.

The H2H 2nd Half tournament brackets for the Main Pool are set up and ready to go. The Platinum Pool will start in Week 12. Check out who your opponent is this week.

The Chiefs minimum win benefited both Rick Savino in the Main Pool and Ryan Allaire (Air Allaire) in the Platinum Pool as they were our weekly winners. A blowout win by the Chiefs would have had two different winners.

Raith Tymchak was the only poolster to achieve to manage 4 Bang On's in the Main Pool.

Let's start with a Gridiron first. The Survivor Pool in the Platinum Pool for the Winners and Losers have now been completed and Nick Stripp (Consistently Picking Losers) is the first to cash in on the Winner AND the Loser Pool (tieing in the Loser Pool). The Main Pool is down to 6 Winners and 8 Losers. Best of luck to those remaining.

The Main Pools race for supremacy is a tight pack with Gary Morrissey leading the way with Jim Carpenter right on his heels, Clayton Clarke (Hunter Clarke), Rajan Hayre and Noah Jessup are one win away of passing them though. In the Platinum Pool, it's a little de ja vous as Gary Morrissey and Jim Carpenter lead this field as well. Don Milner (JE | Donny M), Bruce Faulkner (Dak Dak Dak Bruce) and Ryan Allaire (Air Allaire) are in pursuit.

The first H2H Tournament has come to an end and the 2nd tournament is about to start. (60)Trevor Day ran the table with a 9-Game Winning streak to win the Main Pool Championship. (35)Brendan Mykle-Winkler fell just a little short to capture 2nd.  Rookie (505)Kris Little (Team Primetime) got a taste of the prize money winning the Consolation Bracket while (298) Nick Taylor (The Dirty Bird) claimed 4th.

In the Platinum Pool, (5) Gary Morrissey is continuing his great season winning the H2H by discarding (103)Scott Findlay (Famfin) in the finals. (6) Ryan Allaire's (Air Allaire) weekly win came at the right time as he slipped past (40)Greg Bowie (GBO) who had a great week himself finishing 6th for the weekly for the consolation prizes.

Here is the balance of the rest of the paying spots at the halfway point. Let's see how this changes at the end:

Good luck to everyone in the 2nd Half of the Season !!!!!!!!

Congrats to our Weekly Winners this week Krista McTavish in the Main Pool and Brian Causier (CAUS 7) in the Platinum Pool.

Two poolsters were able to muscle up 4 Bang On's each. Way to go Dan Beketa (LaCrosse) and Matt Desjardins (JOK DJ) (Matt's first 4 of the season).

A 14-2 record is fantastic this week and two poolsters managed to cash in on this feast as Krista McTavish and Jeff Fraser both won weekly prizes.

We have reached the finals of the H2H pools. In the Main Pool, (35) Brendan Mykle-Winkler needed a Pittsburgh win between 1-9 on Monday night which he got to advance to the finals to square off against (60) Trevor Day. In the Platinum Pool, (5) Gary Morrissey, our Overall leader, is the favourite facing a very determined (103) Scott Findlay (Famfin). The consolation finals have (298) Nick Taylor (The Dirty Bird) vs (505) Kris Little (Team Primetime) in the Main Pool and (6) Ryan Allaire (Air Allaire) vs (40) Greg Bowie (GBO) in the Platinum Pool.

Week # 9 introduces the Second Chance Survivor Pool and Week # 10, the second portion of the H2H Tournament will start for the Main Pool (Week # 12 for the Platinum Pool).

Best of luck Everyone.

Well most of us have gone through Survivor withdrawal for long enough.

If NY Giants win or if Pittsburgh wins between 1-5 or 7-9 or by 36 or more then Krista McTavish will be crowned Queen for the week.

If Pittsburgh wins by 6 then Al Champagne (BigPaPi at the Plate) will pluck a victory.

If Pittsburgh wins between 10-12 then we will have a three-way tie between Krista McTavish, Glen Stewart (Dr. Evil) and Rowan Morrissey.

If Pittsburgh wins between 13-34 then Mike Zore (Zore) pulls out the victory.

If Pittsburgh wins by 35 then Krista McTavish and Mike Zore will tie for the week.

Much easier. If they play the game (or don't) Brian Causier (CAUS 7) is the weekly CHAMP.

We had our first tie for the weekly. Congrats to both Tyrel Edinborough (JE | Tyler) and Miles Powell in the Main Pool. Miles needed the late FG by Arizona to get into the tie position. After a week full of perfect winner picks, we still ended up with one poolster achieving the most wins. John Ryan (VanHawk) managed 15 wins, which didn't get him the win but did get him into a money spot. Honourable mention to both Melody Johnston (Reid 'em and Weep) and Miles Powell who both only got 1 wrong. The weekly winner in the Platinum pool was Sean Slater (Slates17) with a 13-2 record.

The first round of the League Play has wrapped up and 64 division winners are set up and advanced to the Secondary Round. JT McDowell (HIngle McCringleberry), Louis Shortreed (PenVegas), Jeannie Johnston (Pats Princess), Rajan Hayre, Paul St. Hilaire, Nick Taylor (The Dirty Bird), and Ashley Pescott all went undefeated to capture their respective divisions. Good luck to all winners in the next round.

Only one poolster managed to reach 3 Bang On's this week and that was Ryan Mills (Ray Finkle) in the Platinum Pool.

Good luck to all in Week 8.

This week was unlike other weeks as a lot of people did VERY well. Unfortunately, when lots do well and there are only 4 payout spots (3 in Platinum) a lot of people will say what the heck!!!!

A total of 31 poolsters entered every winner correctly (13 in Platinum) and this is why I love this pool as the spread points separate the contenders from the pretenders (going 14/14 is not pretending but you get the gist....LOL). Mike Stefiuk (Dolphins Tua Super Bowl) was the cream of the crop. Jim Carpenter is in both pools and let's one set of picks do the talking in both pools and it paid off winning the weekly in the Platinum Pool and 2nd place in the Main Pool.

Matt Shaw and Chris Aeichele (Ikelee77) both knocked off 4 Bang On's each this week.

One week left in the League Play Preliminary Round. Lots of division winners are still up for grabs. Only the winner of each Group moves onto the Secondary Round. Tiebreaker info can be found in the menu of the home page.

Good luck to all in Week 7.

If Buffalo wins then Dolphins Tua Super Bowl wins

If New York Jets win then Nav is your winner

Good luck to the 4 of you and Happy Thanksgiving to all us Canadians eh.

Has been clinched as Mandelbaum has a big enough lead that nobody with the Saints can catch him.

For those that don't read all of the email. Guess what? WE'RE GOING TO LONDON THIS WEEK!!!

We have ourselves a game at 6:30am PST on Sunday and I know how you all love to get up early just to get that pick in. Here's a little tip for you. Enter that game when you record your Thursday pick. This way you have something recorded and you can still change it before game time if you want to. If you sleep in, oh well. Better than ZERO, just saying......

DOUBLE WINNER - Gary Morrissey was showing off this week winning both the Main AND Platinum Pool. Gary picked the same teams but changed his spreads up. It appeared to make a difference because in the Main pool he gained 8 points because of his changes to allow him to win by 5.

Survivor Pool has taken its toll.  Survivors remaining in each pool:

Main Pool Winners - 29

Main Pool Losers - 27

Platinum Pool Winners - 3

Platinum Pool Losers - 6

Constantly Picking Losers is doing exactly that as he is still alive in both Survivor pools in the Platinum.

DJ Reynes and Polly Pringle have accomplished the same thing in the Main Pool.

Mike Davis was our Platinum Week # 3 weekly winner going 12-4 with a Bang On.

JOK Mike had the biggest Monday night with 2 wins and both with decent spreads to move from 111th to 5th in the Platinum Monday Night category.

There won't be any weekly scenarios sent out because there are two games tonight and lots can happen.

What I can send out are some Survivor stats from the past. With the crazy start to the season and the Survivor pool dwindling down I thought I would take a walk down memory lane and see how crazy this year has been compared to others. To my amazement this has NOT been the wackiest.

In 2015, Week 2, the heavily favoured Saints with Drew Brees were 10 point favourites over Jameis Winston and the lowly Buccaneers. 196 poolsters picked the Saints to cruise over the Bucs but it didn't happen. Along with 4 other heavy favourites, 389 poolsters were eliminated in one week. By far, the most in one week in Gridiron history.

If Buffalo or Cincy lose tonight we will have the lowest remaining after 3 weeks.

Below is a chart of the Survivor Pool since its inception with 512 poolsters. I only looked at the Winners Pool but you'll get the jist.

Overall Standings now reflect your Highest Dropped Week so only 1 of your 2 weeks count. This reflects the end result of your best 17 of 18 weeks counting towards your Overall score.

Taliban Munchma Quchi recorded 5 Bang On's this week in the Main Pool.

Tortured Football Wife could coast at the end of last week with her guaranteed weekly win in the Main Pool.

JE|FRIZZNASTY in the prize pool in back to back weeks in the Platinum Pool while J-ville Jack takes Top honours this week.

Congrats already goes out to Tortured Football Wife whose picks were not as bad as her name leads us to believe.......LOL

She has already clinched the weekly win.

If Atlanta wins or if Philadelphia wins by 13 or more then J-ville Jack is Da Champ.

If Philadelphia wins between 1-12 then Phil "12 men in the huddle" Hamel would be smelling like roses.

Good luck to both of you.

If San Francisco wins between 1-11 or if NY Jets win between 1-6 or by 13 or more then WascowyWabit would win the weekly.

If San Francisco wins by 12 to 36 then Coco-loco would win the weekly outright.

If San Francisco wins by 37 or more then WascowyWabit and Coco-loco would split 1st and 2nd place pot.

If NY Jets win between 7-11 then DangeRuss would prosper.

If NY Jets win by 12 the WascowyWabit and DangeRuss would share the winnings.

JE | F R I Z Z N A S T Y would take home the inaugural weekly win with a NY Jet upset or a San Francisco victory between 10-12.

JE | F R I Z Z N A S T Y and GJayhawks would tie with a San Francisco by 1-6 win.

GJayhawks takes the prize with a San Francisco between 7-9 win

If San Francisco wins by 13 or more then JOK Press would be declared weekly champ.

Best of luck to all of you.
