Ohhhhh  I was so close to winning the NFL Football pool at Work yesterday,

   I was undefeated  (hadn't missed any games)  coming in to the Steelers/ Chargers game

If San Diego had won ....I would have won the pot.   But they didn't.....so...

  I'm still in it for tonight  having suffered one loss 

       I need Minnessota to win,   and my points have to be good.

I only posted because I had never been this close before.   

           The pot is a little over $700 hundred dollars this week

UPDATE:

        Well Minnessota WON,   and my combined total points were 47

 I  WON THE  FOOTBALL  POT THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!   I only had ONE loss, and my points were Good.

     $760  DOLLARS    WWWwwwoooooooooooo!!!!!!

It's Pizza for lunch for everyone in the office today!!!

I see no one has replyed to your post..I guess they are all jealous..Let me be the first to say "CONGRATS" and keep up the good luck..

Thank You VERY MUCH   tiggs

  I don't think it was a jealuosy  thing,   I think it's just that the Gaming section doesn't get

 very much air time.   But at $6 dollars per person it's kinda lottery realated

  and that almost equates to    126 people in the pool.

And I feel vey Lucky and previledged to have won it.

  (don't get me wrong  I only lost 3 the week before)

        Any way We've got ours in for this comig week already.   (Wed. is turn-in day)

     ...again THANKS!!!!

A win is a win and it always feels so good..I won 1,200.00 once tax free and I was sky high..Good luck every week you play..Maybe some of that luck will rub off on the lottery..Like my sisters says"You never know"..:)..

Man I wish my job did this type of thing, I'd make some money for sure!

Congratulations

Thanks,  Needachange23

  and Base400

I'll need the $700 as my vehicle is in the shop for repairs

  but I blew the other $60  on pizza for lunch for everybody.

I 'm not really a football fan but we do have a football pool at work. I tried for 2 weeks to get into it but when I was able to pay ($5) he closed it out. The next time I saw him I wasn't able to pay but I could have waited until Saturday or Monday to pay and when I saw him Saturday he had closed it out but this weekI will save my $5

I don't really don't understand how it works I just like to gamble. Our pot isn't even near $700. Probably closer to $150

what teams did you pick to win this weekend??

I'm kinda shakey this week, I've got:

Cincinnati

Green Bay

Minnesota

New Orleans

Tampa Bay

Washington

St. Louis

Pittsburgh

Seattle

Oakland

NY Jets

New England

Atlanta

Denver  (Mon. Night)

x1kosmic...You will need about 5 upsets..But them are the ones that win you the big bucks..We are all rooting for you to win again..Good luck..Hope I'm wrong and you hit 100%....

I agree,

 I figured Tampa Bay winnig at Home would actually, kinda, be an up-set.

 Anyway I missed six last time,        ....and I got a report that the Winner missed 2.

     That MINN./ PITT   this Sunday has me thinking  I might need two sheets.

Don't go by what I say but I'd go with Pitts..But it's 50-50 but it's at Pitts so that should give them the edge and Minn is way over due for a loss..Good luck and like I say don't follow what I say..Hope you win..

Well,....You got Pittsburgh right  tiggs,   They kinda got after the 'senior citizen' of Football didn't they?

    Anyway,  I won that one, but lost 4 this time.

        Some of these teams are like cold lottery balls,       ...every now and then they "pop-up"  (Buffalo)

            Anyway I'm still doing it every week.
