"2012 NFL RTVW Suicide Pool: Lose-Off Finals."
All picks due by 7:50 p.m. Thursday, October 11th. We have a Very Final Two. Because...

pry open mouth, remove horseshoe

KidFlash (2-2)

the birds! the birds!

Tribephyl (2-2)

But the Cardinals did in fact flock off.

So with Byoffer having 3-1ed it out while MaxHeadroom scored the 4-0 which Las Vegas will not pay him for, that leaves us with a pair of players remaining. As such, we're going to settle things this week. Fourteen games on the schedule, so each of you are getting seven which I'm assigning in the classic fashion -- I'm flipping a coin: to wit, a 1943 silver quarter. Can't get any more non-fair than that.

(Once a side count reaches seven, all remaining games go to the other player.)

Best record wins. Tiebreaker is closest to the total predicted losing points margin between all your assigned games: post your guess at the end of your picks.

The coin shall speak -- now.

MaxHeadroom (Heads)

Pittsburgh at Tennessee
Oakland at Atlanta
Indianapolis at New York (Jets)
Detroit at Philadelphia
Dallas at Baltimore
Buffalo at Arizona
New England at Seattle

Byoffer (Tails)

Cincinnati at Cleveland
St. Louis at Miami
Kansas City at Tampa Bay
New York (Giants) at San Francisco
Minnesota at Washington
Green Bay at Houston
Denver at San Diego

Go ye heroes, go and die.

Twice.

Byoffer (Tails)

So Max won the coin toss? Doesn't that make me the better loser and thus winner of the pool??

Just in case that isn't the case, the losers are high-lighted:

Cincinnati at Cleveland
St. Louis at Miami
Kansas City at Tampa Bay
New York (Giants) at San Francisco
Minnesota at Washington
Green Bay at Houston
Denver at San Diego

Tie-breaker = 42 points

*Looks at Max's picks*
Geez, that coin hated me. Must be an American coin.

Game 1: Pittsburgh 23 - Tennessee 26

We're supposed to pick the losers, right?

I fully expect that you will win, but c'mon, both Dallas and NE were in positions to win their games. The fickle hand of fate!!

eta - is it the fickle finger of fate? I can sort of hear the quote in my head, but am not sure.

At least a dying wish was granted.



And it's truly no coincidence that KidFlash and I offed ourselves at the same time. I simply couldn't bear the thought of continuing on without him.

Max wins. Even with one game to go, I can't catch him. He got 4 games correct and 3 games wrong this week. I am 2 and 4 with one game remining.

Congrats to Max, and huge thanks to Estee. Maybe frustrating, but this pool was fun.

I was going to wait until tomorrow before calling the official Time Of Death, but if you want to off yourself a little ahead of the game schedule...

Yes, Max wins the kind of lose-off I never want to see repeated, gets the Edge for any potential next year, and is the last player breathing in the most @#$%ed-up season in this pool's brief history. I almost want to apologize to the entire contestant field because it not only feels like most of you died for nothing (well, less nothing that usual), but the standard cause of death was faux zebra. (At least that illness shouldn't recur for a few seasons.) There's always some frustration in this sort of thing, but it felt as if the frustration seized majority control this year. But Goodell wants us to know it's all part of the game. Also that he's fined your corpses $50,000 each.

At least we've got a goal for next season: Week #4.

I won't off myself - I think the lucky coin did that for me last week!!

Hard to believe how quickly the pool ended. We should almost start a new one for the rest of the season...

The coin was not lucky and the coin is not to blame. The coin is a coin.

And what do you mean 'we', (presumably) white man?

Siggie, you want a siggie for barely surviving the faux zebras of death?
