    Each of us remaining in the 2nd round pool has either the Chiefs or Chargers available... guessing we'll have a pretty even 50/50 split this week, unless someone throws a curveball and picks the Packers or something.

    lol, I'm a dummy. Must have still been half asleep, as it looks like 4 of the 10 remaining participants have already used both the Chiefs and Chargers.

    Jets, Falcons, Eagles, and Packers are all viable options this weekend!

    3 more teams eliminated this week, leaving us with only 7 remaining.

    Going to be an interesting couple of weeks coming up - most of us have already picked the top teams in the league, so there will be more underdogs and "pick 'em" games.

    Late post here, but @johnyb hit me with a huge box of great stuff. Bunch of different styles and a ton of new ticks.

    [​IMG]

    Also of note: I believe that @johnyb sent me a box for an NFL pool a few years ago, which included a Cigar City Crowler of El Murcielago, which even though I loved, was tough to consume an entire Crowler, even with my brother-in-law to help. Looking forward to putting this Gose and Hefeweizen (and everything else in the box) down with a little more ease.

    Thanks again!

    6 entries left, and most have used the desirable teams. I'm thinking we'll see quite a few Seahawks picks this week, and perhaps the last Rams selection of the season?

    @FalconCount - we both got eliminated because Aaron Rodgers clearly is washed up and couldn’t hold Brady’s jockstrap.

    However, there’s the business of the 5th place prize (1 box) to discuss. We could either do a quick tiebreaker like we did at the end of the first round, or we could simply opt to have neither of us ship. Let me know what you want to do.

    I truly feel bad for both of you guys here getting knocked out after a lengthy run. Well done gents!!

    However, the Bears fan in me was dancing a jig with the Peckers loss followed by them firing their coach mid season. As I’m still hanging on here and now officially “in the beer” I’ll officially propose a toast to all the Cheesdicks out there. Cheers!!!!!

    Either one works fine for me. Out of simplicity I would probably vote for the neither ships option, but if you still have the gambling itch, we could always do a tie breaker!

    I'm cool with neither of us shipping. Baby on the way and I've been spending most of my time getting the house ready, so I'm already behind on a couple boxes. Not shipping another one will be helpful.

    How would you like to continue? I might recommend everyone taking 2 boxes, and then run a simple contest to see which 3 of you ends up with 3 boxes. Thoughts?
