Only Saban vs Smart gives Alabama a chance. Georgia clearly the superior talent. Saban knows how to adjust. Passed vs Georgia, ran vs Cinn. If Saban wins this will be one of his greatest achievements as this team lost so much talent from a year ago. This is also the first time since Florida and Tebow that he goes in with the weaker team. Saban 140-13 last 11 years.


BAMA With The Better QB.

Those who have KC left will probably take them. Playing on Saturday helps.

Syra Hawkeyes should - and will - take Tennessee now that a win gets the #1 seed

I know TB also carries a $1M bonus, too but I wouldn't even consider taking TB until I know who is - and is not - playing. TB with Brady is worth a play. TB with Kyle Trask - is not.

I'm assuming in addition to splitting the $6,000,000 prize fund, who ever gets to the finish line would also split the $1,000,000 bonus as well, or do they each get a $1,000,000 bonus? Seems as though it would be split, but curious nonetheless.

From Circa Contest Rule #19d subsection iii;

If multiple entries provide correct selections for all 20 possible Contest Weeks and uses the Kansas City Chiefs or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18, both the prize pool and Undefeated Bonus Prize of $1,000,000 will be split equally among those entries.

so the $1,000,000 bonus is only available to those who have saved KC or TB for the final week, interesting. That I did not know.

The million is divided among those who make winning KC or TB selection.

In order for KC to get the #1 seed:

The best scenario for KC is this: beat the Broncos and have the Texans upset the Titans, 11-5. The Chiefs would be the No. 1 seed. Tennessee holds the tiebreaker on the Chiefs based on the head-to-head meeting, so a Titans loss is required for the Chiefs to get a first-round bye.

Tampa Bay needs to defeat Carolina to lock up the #2 seed. GB already clinched the #1 seed.

I will be going to the Lions vs. GB game on Sunday. Why do you ask am I going to the most meaningless game ever, one that even has the Lions favored for the first time this season? That is because I still have $200 of Ford Field dollars to spend before they expire! Since I didn't get a refund of tickets during the covid year, the Lions gave all season ticket holders $550 to spend at Ford Field anyway you want, food, merch, drinks, etc. So the only reason I'm going is because of that. Once I've spent it, then I expect to leave early, lol.

That's Correct.

Texans Have Already Beaten Titans This Year.

Actually, our last playoff win was vs Dallas on Jan 5, 1992, (coincidently, 30 years ago tomorrow). The Lions have two first round draft picks and 2 second round picks coming up. If they can finally get it right, then maybe they will be trending up. It sickens me to see teams like Cinci, AZ, Cleveland turn things around when just a few years ago, they were in the same shape as the Lions....and still the Lions are are the laughing stock of the NFL.

Was played at the old Silverdome, which was one of the loudest venues in the NFL. I still have the tape of the game. Of course, the next week, which a chance to get to the superbowl, the Lions shit the bed and lost to the team formerly known as the Redskins who have owned the Lions.

Let's say the Proxy could not get in touch with the guy and it is closing in on 3P. If you are the Proxy do you submit a pick for the guy figuring you might as well since if your pick loses it is the same as no pick? Me - I would have done that. Submit something knowing it is better than nothing.

Im sure the proxy would make a pick.
But with 2 weeks left you get the deadlines mixed up and the selection was almost entirely ouf the player's hands.

Wonder what Sharky99 would do? If the proxy has other clients, how would that be fair to anyone else they represent that are still alive? At some point you have to draw the line and say the client is responsible for knowing the rules and deadlines, and if he doesn't submit selections, then it is on him. It is not the proxy's responsibility to do that. The proxy was doing his job feverishly trying to get in touch with his client.

Didnt think of the conflict.

I assume a proxy gets tips.......hard to let an entry die knowing you as a proxy are lined up for a nice tip if the guy survives to the end.

It is a tough call....yes, they work on tips so they probably are rooting for all their clients. So that might be more prevalent than being conflicted. If the proxy (or player) doesn't broadcast it, then no one would really know.

i was told the one guy who picked KC this week for Survivor was on VISN and he said he was not going to hedge. Anyone hear this? If so he is one lucky Bastard. Scoop and score. He should throw a bone to the guy who returned the fumble.

Hey bob maybe u can figure this out. What if you took 1 thousand dollars and bet the money line and rolled it over on all 20 picks. How much would it pay.
