And the winner is:

 

Matt Taylor!

 

He got the most picks right in this week’s football pool.  His reward?  The respect and admiration of all.

 

He got 8 right.  Judy and I, on the other hand, each got 7 right.  Out of a possible 14, getting 7 right is a lot like, close your eyes and guess!

 

Anyone else wants a chance at it for a few more games this season, let me know.  Send me your cell number and I’ll pop you an invite.

 

The football pool

 

I’ve played work or neighborhood pools in the past; everybody chips in a dollar and makes their picks.  The person with the most correct picks each week gets the pool.  It’s hard to do well consistently, but I usually finish the season with more dollars than I started with.  This is the first time I’ve done one with an app on my phone, and it turns out I’m awesome!  I set up a pool and it tracks how well each person is doing with their picks.  I’m in first place this week, and in first place for the year.  I could be really hard to beat.  I’m considering inviting someone else to join the pool too, to find out.
