Week 9 Summary

It was a bad week to jump on the CHI bandwagon. CHI had an emotional let down and lost at home to MIA. Four entries selected CHI and all four were knocked completely out of King. I believe every other entry had already used CHI, otherwise there would have been a blood letting. Say goodbye to Brian Fetch, Leo Kourkoulos #2, Chris Parker, and Steve Taylor.

I often remind players about selecting road teams, of course CHI lost at home so it's not the only factor, but SF beat MIN at SF, and DET beat ATL at DET. These two games accounted for five additional losing picks as four had ATL and 1 had MIN. Four entries were knocked out of the contest. Say goodbye to Gabe Cate, Kathy Kourkoulos #1, Chuck Nolan, and my Dad's #2 entry.

My mother also selected ATL and sacrificed her advantage in the Champion bracket. Note that she could have selected SD over CLE on this entry but decided on the road team ATL.

Here are the counts:

8 alive for the Championship
28 with one loss
25 gone

Picks are due Sunday at 11:30 CST.
