A lot of squeakers this week as well, but it looks like everyone survived. Now I'm just waiting for the lightning to end in Seattle so my 49ers can get the job done.

I love them, but maybe not enough to put my football survival in their hands...:)

Re: 2013 Survival Football - 10/13/13 11:10 PM

I thought I was done this week because I thought I had picked the Texans against the Rams. Well, at some point I must have changed my mind and picked the Seahawks.

Re: 2013 Survival Football - 10/15/13 05:33 AM

Good pick. I'd stay away from the Texan's till they get over their choking problem.

Congratu,lations, Yogi. Your prize for winning this tournament: an NFL franchise in London.

The Seahawks had an amazing comeback to secure your victory. Good luck in picking winners for the remaining weeks.

I would have thought the Titans would win. But I saw Tampa getting their first win against a disoriented Dolphin team.

Week 17 - Final Standings

Code:

YO W 13-4  (Steelers)

JL W 13-4  (Giants)
JG W 13-4  (Steelers)
KL L 13-4  (Dophins)

PI W 11-2  (Niners)

Here's how I came up with the final standings:

Yogi won, regardless of final score, for having outlasted everyone in the object of the game. Good thing he at least tied for # of wins.

Pilsner is last, because he didn't play every week, and has the fewest wins.

For the middle 3, I went by longest newest winning streak. I didn't come up with something to benefit me (

) so, JL is #2 with the last 4 W in a row, I'm #3 with last 2 W in a row, and KL is #4 for having lost the last 2.
