"Anyone doing an NFL Wins Pool?"


  

          

Friend tweeted this out earlier today, in the middle of drafting one with my friends right now.

http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle/post/_/id/36155/you-should-have-an-nfl-wins-pool

If you're looking for a last-minute gambling pool for you and your friends, I highly recommend a surprisingly simple (and addictive) NFL wins pool. I love this pool. My friends love this pool. And now, you can love this pool.

Here's what you do: Find nine friends, agree on an entry fee and prize money, then come up with a draft order from 1-10.

From there, you use the following "drafting system" to pick teams. I have no idea how the creator came up with these numbers, just that there's a 20 percent chance he was one of those MIT brainiacs or something. Anyway ...

Team 1 — 1st pick, 20th pick, 26th pick
Team 2 — 2, 16, 29
Team 3 — 3, 13, 30
Team 4 — 4, 18, 25
Team 5 — 5, 15, 27
Team 6 — 6, 19, 22
Team 7 — 7, 11, 28
Team 8 — 8, 17, 21
Team 9 — 9, 14, 23
Team 10 — 10, 12, 24

Everyone picks three teams. The highest total number of victories for those three teams wins the pool.

Easy, right? Last season's winner (my buddy House) picked third, 13th and 30th and ended up with the 15-win Packers, nine-win Giants and nine-win Bengals for a total of 33 wins, stumbling into such a three-headed juggernaut with which he clinched the pool with a week to go. (I finished six wins behind him with the 13-win Patriots, nine-win Titans and five-win Redskins, who were the 1-20-26 picks.) For this year's pool, I drew the fifth slot and agonized over the Ravens and Niners (ultimately taking the Ravens).

uhhh....lol

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
