I am in a pool with 100 others. Each week we pick the winners of each game, straight up, no spreads involved.
In week 17 last season I was hopelessly out of the running for a top ten placing. My only hope was to be the weekly winner in week 17 which pays $75 which would cover my $50 entry fee but more importantly would put my name at the top of the weekly results e-mail and generate jealousy among my brothers and friends.
I came across Gregg Rosenthal's column on nfl.com. I used all his choices in the games that he had an opinion on.
I had 14 winners out of 16 games and won the week.
I love Gregg Rosenthal. I am a hopelessly biased Bills fan just like the rest of you but money and glory come first.
