You know when you wake up in the morning, sleep walk to your washroom mirror in a fog, trying to brush your teeth and wash your face, when you suddenly realize ‘when did my hair get so long’? You try and think when your last visit to the salon was. A month ago? Six weeks? You don’t remember. Then you say to yourself, ‘I need to stop drinking at the saloon and take care of my body and appearance more’. That’s what it feels like when it comes to suicide pools this season. When was the last meaningful week where underdogs upset and took out a bunch of people in your pool? Week six is the answer. I know, I don’t know whether to stop drinking or drink some more. Time to put that game of Liar’s Dice on hold, get back to rolling the dice, and making some picks in week 13 of your suicide pools.
It wasn’t a Happy Thanksgiving for a lot of teams because only seven home teams won last week; all three visiting teams won on Thanksgiving day as well. A 7-9 record in week 13 leads to
