    My bills with a huge win. For 20 years we lose that game every time. I like this new coach.

    Down to 19 for week 5! Toughest week so far I'd say - if I had to guess, I'd say we see people in the money after this weekend

    Had a sick feeling about that Pitt game ... Jacksonville has an insane D. Haven't trusted Pitt all year.

    And with the Giants loss, we are officially in the money.

    We are down to the final 8 entries! And congrats to @wittyname for being the only one to finish "in the money" two years in a row!

    As a reminder, if multiple people get eliminated in the same week, they will equally split the number of boxes for their finishes. So for example, if 3 people get knocked out this weekend, they would split the winnings of 6th - 8th (6 boxes) = 2 each. If the number of boxes to be won cannot divide equally into the number of eliminated participants, I'll gladly take the extras we can flip a coin, run a random number generator, or find another equally fair method to divvy up the winnings.

    Good luck the rest of the way!

    Looking bad to switch my pick last minute. I should learn not to do that.

    Ok, with 6 eliminated this week, that's 21 boxes to be split up. By my math, 3 of you will get 3 boxes, and the other 3 will get 4.

    Any ideas how to pick who gets the extra box? Random number generator? Rock Paper Scissors?

    Crazy that this same pool went well into December last year, and this year we could be done before Halloween.

    I'm ok with a random number generator, less thrilled about fastest mile time given my recent beer consumption...

    You should have everyone pick all of next weeks NFL Games. And just go with the best 3 records. Might have a tie somewhere, but it at least makes it a little interesting...
