    I just found last year’s league and renewed it.

    Since things are better in threes, here’s a third group to join:

    You screwed me over in the first week Rivers.

    Glad I had the Raiders in my other Survivor league. By my accounting about one-third were eliminated due to the Eagles and Colts primarily.

    That was the case in the Circa Sports survivor pool in Vegas, where entries were $1,000 each. You could buy up to five entries, and there were people who bought five and rolled all of them with the Colts. Yikes!

    In case you stopped caring, I am the winner of this league, thanks to the Jets insane defense at the end of yesterday's game.

    The Raiders' last-second victory and Seahawks' unexpected defeat made Da Mensch an outright winner over COVID-19 Jaguars 0 (Della9250, I think).

    Thanks to everyone who played!

    Great job, Da man! Congrats!

    I continued to follow it, and I’m still kicking myself for picking the Packers over Minnesota I stead of going with the safer KC pick several weeks ago.

    If you can, keep going and see how far you can go.

    I'm going to. Tennessee over Jacksonville looks like a good choice for next week.

    I'm in one that started with 40 and was down to five after Week 10 and dropped to four a week later and is still there.

    One more should have been knocked out with the Raiders yesterday.

    Two of us nearly went into cardiac arrest with the Vikings.

    One breathed fairly easily with the Chiefs.

    Only two of us had Seattle left and I'm sure the other guy has been saving them for the Jets just like me.

    I think at least two of us make it to the playoffs. Week 14 is a bit tough for the non-Seattle guys while the final week could be a toss-up for anyone left. But there's a decent chance of more than one making it through.

    The sad thing was my first choice for the week was Raiders but was scared off after the game last week against the Falcons.

    That’s one thing about these leagues - very easy to kick yourself with the results.

    Well, all but one of us.

    That was quite a two-way race for the past five weeks. Well done to both of you!

    Happy to have made it to December in my other Survivor league - but that Seattle game knocked me out.
