    Bring it! 10 back with 3 weeks left? Now that would truly be special!

    This year my picks have been awesome. I've won the office pool 5 times this season already! Niiiice.

    Does anyone know what you win if you finish in first?

    no prizes. There used to be a prize, but that stopped after 2007.

    As the person who won in 2007 and got nada, let me assure you that prizes stopped after 2006, not after 2007!

    Out of those choices, I'd take the Jets.

    Definitely SF. Indy is not even going to try as hard as they did against us. I expect Buffalo to win.

    This was the first year I stuck with it all season. Every other year I forgot to make my picks at some point and would get frustrated and just stop playing. Those Thursday games are a bitch!

    Anyway, I'm in the top 20 going into week 17. Not bad considering that the system I use to pick most games involves the words "eeny", "meeny", "miney" and "Mo"! :lol:

    Congrats to Pisano24 and the other 13 who finished above me!

    Thanks to Petro for setting up and administering the pool all year. It was fun.

    The football pool keeps me interested in meaningless games I would otherwise dismiss altogether. Thank you to Petro and TGG from the 2002 pool winner (me). My daughter and son-in-law were in the top 10 and top 20, respectfully. Unfortunately I did not fair so well.

    Finished 6th in the first year that I actually made picks every week! Those Thursday games almost caught me once or twice, though.

    Congrats to Pisano, nicely done.
