Wow. What an end to the regular season! If you didn't see the Sunday night game, you missed an all-time classic.
The Raiders and Chargers were playing for the final playoff spot. Everything would be normal UNLESS the game
headed for a tie . . . then all hell would break loose. And guess what . . . all hell broke loose! The Chargers
faced 4th-and-game-over about a million times, then tied the game with 2 miracle touchdowns. OK,
overtime. Tie game with seconds left in overtime . . . a tie would send both teams to the playoffs. Then the
VERY controversial timeout by the Chargers coach (totally justified, I think). Would the Raiders take a knee?? NO! . . .
field goal good, Raiders and Steelers in, Chargers out!
Luckily, our two winners this week, son-and-father team Riley and Eric V, had already sewn up their victories,
so they were sipping hot chocolate and champagne as the chaos ensued on Sunday night. Somehow they
both predicted the big upset of the Seahawks beating the Cardinals, and that was enough to
cap off their regular season in a very profitable way. Noralee C benefited from the overtime game to nab the
Sunday Night score prize.
Congrats to all regular-season winners, especially to Riley V for winning the "Rookie
of the Year" award, and condolences to those who didn't fare so well. Good luck to all in the Playoff Pool.
STAY TUNED FOR THE PLAYOFF POOL COMING NEXT WEEK!
PICKS ARE DUE BY SATURDAY AT NOON (Pacific Time).
Please let the Commissioner know if you will NOT be playing in the Playoff Pool. Thanks.
