"Any other pick should require a drug test!" [Indianapolis] --McDevitt~J

In fact, only one other pick should require a drug test:

[Oakland] --Boulware

I hate to call out a player for making a "non-boastful" wrong pick, but I have never, in the history of the Ducey Pool, experienced such a thing. Because that's it. That's the list of wrong picks this week. Out of 518 actual picks, 517 were winners. Every single Vegas favorite won this weekend. 14-for-14. You didn't have to ride in the front seat on the bandwagon. You could ride anywhere along the wagon train. It was only Boulware that decided to get creative. Now he has two losses instead of one.

This week is as good as any to say: DO NOT FORGET TO MAKE A PICK BY 10am SATURDAY MORNING. Three pointless holes in the board this week. Three absent picks. Three losses. And they were all from the ranks of the undefeated.

This is also a good week to reiterate: DON'T PICK THE SAME TEAM TWICE. Yes, Indianapolis is undefeated. That doesn't mean they haven't caused a loss in the pool this season. Hewes~H went down a notch for going to the Indy well in weeks 2 AND 5. Even Peyton Manning get pass his way out of this way.

So, I guess the good news that nobody left the pool this week. After 5 full weeks, we are still at 99.8% participation. I love it when you guys get your money's worth.
