BTSC Survivor Pool Update: Week 12 results

We are down to the final three contestants!

The Behind The Steel Curtain survivor pool continued on in Week 12 this past weekend as the choices get harder after many top teams have already been used. With four leagues completely filled with 100 entries, the fifth league finished with 46 participants. While technically there are 446 total entries, I had one entry in each league as the commissioner so there were 442 different contestants. Hundreds have entered, but only one can go home with the autographed Joe Haden Football.

The most common selection for Week 12 was the Philadelphia Eagles over the New York Giants. The Giants kept the Eagles offense in check the entire game, giving up only a fourth-quarter touchdown and upsetting Philadelphia which knocked out three of the remaining eight contestants.

The next most popular picks were the Dallas Cowboys over the Las Vegas Raiders on Thanksgiving and the Baltimore Ravens over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday night. The Raiders got the best of the Cowboys in overtime which eliminated two contestants while the Ravens came out on top of an ugly game against the Browns and sent two people through to Week 13.

The only other game which was chosen in Week 12 was the Atlanta Falcons over the Jacksonville Jaguars which sent one final contestant through to Week 13.

With only three contestants left, I feel they deserve some recognition. First, I have a small consolation prize (and I mean small, but it’s at least something) for the two remaining contestants who do not win the grand prize. The screen names of those remaining in their leagues are:

So after twelve weeks, now only 0.67% of the entries still remain. 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 though you are the only contestant remaining in your league, make sure you make the pick in order to stay in the competition for the overall title.
