I just miss pick'em week 3 crown

I didn't pick any games vs. the spread this week, mainly because my Chargers and Bears picks last week went wrong.

On the other hand, I'm tied for first in the pick'em pool I'm in, with the $$ riding on the outcome of the Washington at Dallas Monday night. If Dallas wins, and 40 or more points are scored, I win the whole pool. Right now it is 6-6 with the first half winding down, and I need some touchdowns. The guy I'm tied with & I both have Dallas for this game. The tiebreaker is the total, and I have 45 while he went 34, so if Dallas wins and the score is 39 or less, he wins. If it's 40 or more, the score is closer to 45, and I win the whole thing.

It's 9-9 at the half.

If Dallas loses, me and the guy I'm tied with fall back into a 5-way tie with three guys who took the Redskins. One of them has the total at 47, one at 38, and Joe Holcombe, who ran one of the fantasy leagues I played in last year, has 45, same as me. In that case, 47 or more goes to one guy, 46 puts three of us in a tie, 45 down to 42 ties me and Joe, and 41 or less goes to the other guy.

Dallas won, 18-16. The other guy hit the number exactly. Pretty damn pathetic offensive performance from both teams. I think there's a decent chance the Lions will be favored next week at Dallas. The Cowboys looked like shit.

The spread moved down from 6.5 or so to 3.5 by game time. If I was able to bet I would have been all over 'Skins(+6.5) vs. the banged up Cowboys.
