The 2013 NFL Season Posted by poolmeister on August 16 2013
Three weeks from tonight, the 2013 NFL Season will get underway. The Thursday night game will pit the Baltimore Ravens at the Denver Broncos. The Super Bowl champions will take on the opponent of the 2012 AFC championship game. It is a replay of sorts and promises to be a great game.
The schedule again calls for 14 games on Thursday night, which will require all picks to be submitted no later than Wednesday night at 9 PM (PST). I guess we have all gotten used to that schedule and it will be interesting to see if last year's pool winners will win again this year. All I know is that I can only go up from my last place showing.
With a little over a week to go before the deadline to register and submit fees, the pool registration seems to have hit a wall and we are about 15 players short of last year's participation. Hopefully there will a final push to match the number of players but if not, the competition should get that much more spirited. I am gratified to see that participation in the confidence point pool is matching last year's numbers and hope that the interest in the pool continues.
Hey Fred, I haven’t played in the last few years but is this the first time we have had a winner before the Sunday night game even began ? If so, I’m sure it hasn’t happened too many times.
For the 20th year in a row, HHR has managed to win some money in the pool, the only player to do so. Click on the Most Won 2002-2021 link for details. Congratulations HHR!
