I don’t really get the reference. I’ll still be in it for Week 12.

Last year, 90% of us made it to week 1
Yes, I’m aware. You said so in your original post.
Have 16. Would like at least 24. Only takes a minute to play each week.
By popular demand, I changed the strike settings. You now have 1 allowable miscue. Second wrong pick and you’re shown the bench
I think I won this last year. Week 4!
In a normal world, that would suck. ![]()
I saw that. I’m setting the over/under on week 1 strikes at 65% - and going over.
Keep in mind that the spread is in play.
I’ll still say it. 65% of all of us will have one strike after week 1.
How about some more?
I’ve been reading ancient texts on the art of survival. Now I have to apply it. I value my vanity, so I’ll do anything to win this.
I’m in, thanks for setting this up!
Have this one as well
I’m in.
Took the Bears just so they would lose.

-1.5 points.
AZ -6 over NO
I haven’t played before. Just to be clear, 2 strikes and you’re out. This is not a simple won/loss–you have to win against the spread.
Once you pick a team to win, can you pick the same team again the next week or in any succeeding week? For instance, could I pick the Lions every week to win against the spread?
Wait, you have to win against the spread? Most survival pools I’ve ever played were just pick a winner. But you could only pick the same team once. Are those not the rules?
