    I'm in a survivor pool where the pot is $105k (winner takes all though it's normally 2-5 winners - only once has 1 person won it all) and I am so happy the Patriots won!! 1300 entries out of 3900 down in week 1 (one of the most brutal week 1's on record). 3900 entries x $30 entry fee minus 10% for the pool runner = $105k.

    I never even get close to winning, but I have 3 entries and all 3 made it - I have sadly lost all in week 1 before. (Chargers / Bills / Cowboys - I always pick a different team in each entry to hedge my bets).

    There are preset double pick weeks and then after a certain point, it goes double to get the numbers down (if it's still too high - we're all in it for the big bucks not a huge split).

    Anyone wanna help me out with some locks for week 2?

    If anyone comes in with a 'I guarantee this popular team will lose' and saves me from an upset, I'll do right by all parties. *handshake*

    EDIT - The only reason I avoided this week was I'm a Patriots fan and try not to pick against them.

    And granted, other things like the horrible pass blocking on the first two drives, and Kirk’s two third down drops, also knock Lawrence off his rhythm and also encourage the coaches to shy away from it and start running the ball more. The poor execution leads to reactive poor play calling decisions which leads to more poor, confused execution and more unconfident playcalling etc. it becomes a feedback loop/cycle.

    it’s all connected/related and no one is entirely to blame but someone’s gotta STEP UP at the same time. Ideally yes it’s the coaches who figure something out - but if they ain’t, I’m dying to see Trevor be like “fuck this I’m a franchise QB who beat Alabama in the championship when I was 18 and imma go off script if I have to to win a football game”

    The dude does NBA / MLB / Masters / NFL (multiple) / high stake superbowl squares etc. and I'd say he probably makes 30-40k just running these things. I almost forgot myself this year and signed up last minute but I will gladly share and open up to peeps on here next year. I have no connection or knowledge of who the person even is, just something I heard about like a decade ago and it just grows and grows.

    To the topic at hand - crazy week 1 and on paper, a banger of a game to end the weekend.

    EDIT - There is a midseason one as so many people lose and want more (typically is around 40-50% of the main pot). I will post that when it's announced.

    All this talk about who stepped up and who didn’t in the Jags game

    What about Gabe Davis?

    10-0 is nothing, let alone 17-0, for the currently undefeated chicago bears

    ...it might be the Bengals vs. the Chiefs. They've won in KC before and will be getting Higgins back and hopefully just had their wakeup call moment.

    50k please?
