Before getting into the week that was, here are the numbers for the 2022 APY NFL Football Pool:
There are 48 members of the pool, up from 44 one season ago.
Thank you to Sam, Joe L, and Terry, and Paul as your recruiting efforts helped bring new people into the pool!
The new members are:
Tyler
Fred
Kyle
Jeremy
Randy
Anthony
Mark
Sawyer
and Michelle, who returns to the pool
Welcome aboard everyone!
48 members at $20 each means the total pot is $960.
And here’s how the pot will be divided:
First Place: $650 (67.7% of total pot)
Second Place: $150
Third Place: $80
Fourth Place: $20
Three mini-pools of 16 participants: $20 to the winner of each
Details on the three mini-pools will be provided towards the start of the mini-pools in Week 13.
For those who have yet to pay (my records show two people are short), I will follow up for payment. If payment is not provided, those players will be removed and the pot will be reduced. It’s only happened once in the million years I’ve been running this pool, so everything should be handled without issue.
APY POOL RESULTS – WEEK 1
The first week of NFL action is in the books, as is the first week of results in the APY NFL FOOTBALL POOL. There were a number of upsets in the NFL this week, with losses by Cincinnati, Tennessee, and Denver… and the tie by Indianapolis*… all cause pain to the poolies this week, costing a number of confidence losses.
* – see below
Despite all the wild events of week 1, we had three people score 12 points apiece: Jason R, Keville, and Michelle all topped the charts this week, with Ronda following closely behind with 11. Congrats Jason, Keville, and Michelle!
We know that the days following Week 1 bring out the crazies who think the world is coming to an end because something unexpected happened. I’ve attempted to bring some sense to the madness (but think I just made it worse). Judge for yourself:
CHIEFS 44, CARDINALS 21
KANSAS CITY: Tyreek Who? Patrick Mahomes had a near-perfect game, with a 30/39, 360 yard line with FIVE touchdown passes. Just as impressive was the performance of the defense, which held the Cardinals to 122 yards in the first three quarters, before the Cardinals were able to mount two TD drives in garbage time. The Chiefs are a contender and this game was to remind anyone who might’ve felt otherwise.
ARIZONA: After the game, Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury bemoaned the team’s lack of effort in practice leading up to the game. That’s disconcerting, especially after news started surfacing about a film study requirement in Murray’s monster contract extension and his reluctance to put in extra work. Being this unprepared for a team of Kansas City’s calibre is asking for a beat down. Both the Cardinals and Packers appeared to be unprepared for Week 1, which is far from good but also correctible. It’ll be up to both teams to put in the necessary work to put in the work and bounce back in Week 2.
