Man I sure can pick the close one's. Six minutes left and the Cowboys just pulled ahead. Another nail biter to the finish.

Man-o-man. I knew there was a reason I never liked Dallas! Oh well, my first loss in 11 weeks. Sorry CND, but I will be hoping for a Denver loss as well. That's my only hope at this juncture. GO Chargers!

I was just informed by steve6x, our absent friend, that Dallas won in OT. I thought they lost. Wow, what a turn around for me. Now I won't wish for you to lose CND.

Yeah Bing you conceded too early, the Cowboys managed to pull one out.
Both of you made it through yet again. Good job guys!

Still alive:
Bing: HOU, MIA, CHI, BAL, NYG, ATL, NE, GB, SD, PIT, DAL
coppernickeldaddy: NE, PIT, NYG, BAL, SF, ATL, OAK, CHI, HOU, SEA, DEN.

Ok, Ok the Denver game is not quite over, so hopefully I won't jinx anything, but I think Denver has it locked up.

The Beat Goes On! Congratulations, Bing. It's your turn to pick first, so feel free. I have a preliminary pick, but I still need to take a closer look.

Congrats CND. I need to take a breath and think the next one through just a bit as well. I'll pick by tomorrow sometime.

Updated odds.

Putting on my math hat, let's assume each game is a coin flip, that is, a 50-50 chance that either team will win. I know this isn't entirely true but it makes the math easy.

So the odds of picking 10 in a row is 1 in 1,000! And to have two guys do it outstanding.


The odds of picking 11 in a row is 5 in 10,000. Now, who's going to be brave and pick the Vikes.

3 games on Thursday this week, so you have 3 options to get your win on the holiday and breathe easy early on in the NFL week.

Again, my math is very rusty, but does that translate to 1 in 2,000? Regardless, it's fantastic to be still standing. I thought for sure I was done. But onward and upward, or something like that. Not sure about the Vikes this week. Still thinking.

OK, I've decided this week to go with the Cincinnati Bengals over the Oakland Raiders. I need to save some of my stronger teams just in case. Now it's your turn CND.

Well, that would have been my first pick. But I'm almost as comfortable with:

Colts over the Bills

Good Luck, Bing, and Happy Thanksgiving!
