The teams left to pick are getting more difficult.
The Behind The Steel Curtain survivor pool is rolling along as each week those who make it through are one step closer to the prize. With four leagues completely filled with 100 entries, the fifth league finished with 35 participants. While technically there are 435 total entries, I have one entry in each league as the commissioner so there were 431 different contestants. Hundreds have entered, but only one can go home with the autographed Cam Heyward football.
There were three different games selected from the four remaining contestants. Two of the choices were the Kansas City Chiefs over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chiefs jumped out to a 20-0 lead in the second quarter and never looked back as they cruised to a 10-point lead.
The other two choices this week were the Tennessee Titans over the Denver Broncos and the New York Giants over the Houston Texans. The Titans were down at halftime but outscored the Broncos 10-0 in the second half to pull out the win. As for the Giants, they extended their lead coming out of the half and ended up winning by multiple scores.
So after 10 weeks, only 0.92% of the entries still remain and there are only contestants remaining in three of the five leagues. If you are still alive, make sure you enter your pick early so you don’t get knocked out due to a lack of selection. This is your reminder, so go make your pick now! Even if you are the only contestant remaining in your league, you must make your pick and outlast the remaining leagues.
Now that we are 10 weeks in and down to only four contestants, we will be looking at each one and the picks they have already made as well as what teams they still have available.
