Well that was a painful week in the Survivor Pool. We must pay our respect to more of the fallen. @siggy47 @BlokchainB @Public_N_M_E @wumbo @Undisciplined have all receded into the survivor pool abyss. God speed friends.

That leaves us with 5 remaining competitors. @grayruby @btc_bellzer @tnuts420 @nifty @hardmoney

This is the final week where a rebuy can still be used after a loss to remain in the game for week 9 and this is relevant because amazingly @nifty has yet to use the rebuy. This is unexpected and I did not embed an advantage into the rules for not using the rebuy v.s those that had as I wanted to limit the complexity of tiebreakers. It will be interesting to see if this affects Nifty's strategy this week.

Here are your week 8 games:

Buccaneers v.s Bills (-6.5)- TNF
Rams v.s Cowboys (-6.5)
Vikings v.s Packers (even)
Falcons (-2) v.s Titans
Saints v.s Colts (-1)
Patriots v.s Dolphins (-9.5)
Jets (-3) v.s Giants
Jaguars (-2.5) v.s Steelers
Eagles (-6.5) v.s Commanders
Texans (-3) v.s Panthers
Browns v.s Seahwaks (-3)
Chiefs (-6) v.s Broncos
Ravens (-8.5) v.s Cardinals
Bengals v.s 49ers (-5.5)
Bears v.s Chargers (-8.5)- SNF
Raiders v.s Lions (-8)- MNF

Good Luck!

Keep wasting your time with bread and circuses, sheep! Don't you know the world is burning? Wake up!

Damn. Shots fired. It burns because there is so much truth to it.

Vegas WTF. The Packers just lost to the worst team in the NFL (Broncos) and the Vikings just beat the best team in the NFL (9ers) and Vegas has them at evens!!! That's insane.

Thanks for playing everyone, it's been great fun. 🫡

Lambeau effect.

I really like the Vikings stadium. Seems like a cool atmosphere. I had a momentary thought about pissing off my wife and flying to Minny for last night's game. I have never been to a 49ers game. I went to a Giants game when I was in SF around 10 years ago but 49ers season hadn't started and they so rarely come to Buffalo (would be the closest trip for me) and I refuse to go to any Bills game after November (no interest in driving in the snow for 3 plus hours to sit in the freezing cold for 3 hours to then drive back in the snow for 3 plus hours). I thought about going to Pittsburgh for the opener this year. Have been there for baseball games in the past and really like it there but the tickets were so expensive that I decided against it. I guess I will have to wait until the 49ers go back to Detroit (around 5 hours drive for me).

Apparently US Bank stadium is a really great stadium. I've not been... It's a long way for me. But I'd like to one day.

reply

Have the Vikings played one of the Euro games in the past?

reply

Yeah last year they played the aints in London. It was a wicked game and I got to go see it at Tottenham. That was the game Lewis cine got his leg injured. And the kick at the end was missed with the double doink. Great atmosphere to be a part of.

reply

Awesome. Looks like a nice stadium too.

reply

Good luck to those still standing. I can only lick my wounds and watch hockey.

reply

Hockey has been just as depressing for me buffalo playing like Meh

reply

Tonight should keep you busy then.

reply

Not overthinking this. Worry about next week, next week. Need to get past the rebuy deadline to get on a level playing field with Nifty. I'll take the Chiefs.

reply

Not sure how level that playing field will be - I still have the:
49ers
Dolphins
Ravens
Cowboys
; )

reply

Just talkin some smack fellas - after this week, it IS a level playing field!

reply

I think I have most of those left

reply

The most obvious locks are the most dangerous

reply

Definitely some big guns left.

I haven't used the 49ers or Bills yet (both of whom don't look like the 49ers or Bills right now- gonna win it all with the Texans baby)

reply

i'll take the ravens. after what they did to my lions d last week, i think they'll have no problems with the cards

reply

Looks like they are rounding into form so they will probably lose this week the way the NFL has gone this year. Locked.

reply

Woah. Unexpected but I like the boldness. I am a DeMeco fan.
