When this pool is easy, it's freakin' super easy. Bandwagon, check. Favorites, check. Crappy teams failing, check. Only five losing picks this weekend, mostly due to the "other" 52 players on the Packers pulling together a rivalry win over the Bears. The leaderboard remains unchanged. 33 undefeated. But just over half a season still left to play.

"Anyone ever win this thing with two strikes? How about three?" Taylor~G

I had someone else ask me this recently, so I have the stats on hand. In the last 14 years, there have been 3 two-strike winners. There was also a year a player won with one strike and there was NO ONE ELSE left in the pool. So as you watch these undefeated players stay 33 Strong this week, don't panic. It doesn't last. As I have said before, you just have to zig when they all zag.

And has anyone ever won this thing with three strikes? No. Don't try that.
