The Twitter feed to our site currently is not working due to some
issues with Jotform and Twitter. Visit the feed at
https://x.com/pigskin_mania. In the meantime, we'll
manually post the Tweetstorm here. Here it comes, the Week 5
Tweetstorm.
Item 1. The pool had its
most lopsided win of the year in the Pigskin Special,
but only by a hair when the Rams covered the 3-point
line over the Eagles with a TD with 1:10 left ion the
game. There were 736 players riding that one till the
end, with 251 losers...
Item 2. The Special goes
back to the college ranks with a game that seems to be
in the Special every season. It’s Georgia at Alabama
-1.5 in another one of those huge SEC matchups...
Item 3. The pool is
still on pace for a first-place prize of at least $4,000
after 28 scored perfect weeks. One of those, by jlev4,
ended a streak of 130 weeks dating back to the 2019
season …
Item 4. There have been
142 perfect weeks in the first five weeks of the season,
but interestingly, only two players, Week 5 leader David
Bennett and Jo McLaughlin, have had more than one…
Item 5. There were 76
players on the bad beat of the week where a Vikings
receiver was headed for a covering touchdown, but
instead took a knee at the 1-yard line so his team could
run out the clock instead. The Vikings were giving 10.5,
but won by 5…
Item 6. Having been
called out on the PM Facebook page for having a score of
-1.0 after 4 weeks, Chase Marshall answered with a 5.0
to get in the black. Now in last among players who have
picked games every week is MGraham with 2.0, just a
notch ahead of The Poolmaster’s sister…
Item Last. This is the
week where MACtion begins with games on Tuesdays and
Wednesdays. We remind everyone those games are not
eligible to be picked. The pool is on a
Thursday-through-Monday schedule until the bowl games
begin. Do not pick those games…
Added note: This is the week the
NFL begins bye weeks. Make sure your NFL team is playing
when you make your picks.
That’s all we have. We’re
trying to solve the technical issue that’s keeping the
Twitter feed from updating on our home page. Hopefully
that’s fixed soon. Have a great week everyone.
