The 2013 NFL Season - Recap Posted by poolmeister on February 05 2014
The Super Bowl (such as it was) is over, the winners have been paid and the 2013 NFL season has come to a close. The vaunted Denver Broncos and everyone's pick to win Super Bowl XLVIII took a beating the likes of which has not been seen in quite a number of years. They were out of sync from the first play when the center hiked the ball into the end zone for a Seattle safety. It got much worse after that and the game turned into a rout. Seattle outplayed Denver in every way possible, offensively, defensively, special teams and coaching. The final score...Seattle 43 - Denver 8.
Yours truly had another forgettable season as far as winning anything, although I did improve my standings in the spreads pool by making a strong finish. I still ended up under .500 but did much better than the last few years. The Confidence Point Pool increased the number of players to 27 and hope that the upward trend continues. It also appears that the Straight Up Pool was a big hit, and although only 25 players participated, I am hopeful that more of you will play in future years.
Lastly, I hope you had as much fun playing as I did running the pool. Tell your friends about the pool and get them to join in the fun. I am now in the process of setting up the annual Oscars pool and will soon start on this year's March Madness (Tournament Tracker) pool. Have a great summer and "lets get ready to rumble" next year.
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!
