How many players do you think got KO'ed with the Rams lose?

maybe half the players in the country...

I am in one with over 1800 people. I was very happy to see the broncos, rams and panthers lose.

Rams, Vikes, and Panthers losses were deadly. Thanks be to the raiders for keeping me in it.

i am in 1 with 252 as of today

51 - or about 20% took the Rams and along with the Broncos, Panthers, Chargers and Vikings took out 134 of 252 and it could be 4 more if the Colts lose

a truly "bloodshed" day for these pools and it could have been worse had the Skins not won - for I had them as well as 34 others in my pool so my pool could have seen about 2/3rds sent hom opening weekend

in my pool - TWO people took Miami and 1 took the Saints

anyone who took Miami in this pool has bigger "Cajones" then Peter North AND Ron Jeremy - COMBINED!

I didn't quite get why so many people took the Rams today. Taking a road team early in these pools seems like a horrible strategy. The one I am in had about 40% on the Rams and a number of them on the Chargers. Neither made much sense, I think you should only get risky taking road teams and under a TD favorites only near the end when you have no choice. I played it safe and took the Steelers.

especially since the rams SUCK on grass and chargers didn't exactly have a "gimme" game anyway

i try to avoid picking:

Road Teams
Divisional Games
Underdogs

this is not a hard-fast rule but a guideline
