BTSC Survivor Pool Update: Week 12 results

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 two different games selected from the three remaining contestants. Two of the choices were the Miami Dolphins over the Houston Texans. Although Houston did cut into the lead late in the game, the Dolphins were up 30-0 at halftime before resting players and ultimately winning 30-15.

The other choice this week was the New York Jets over the Chicago Bears. With different quarterbacks getting the start for each team this week, it was the Bears who could not overcome the loss of Justin Fields. Even though they held a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter, the Jets scored the next 24 points to win 31-10, helping to put all three contestants to the next round.

So after 11 weeks, only 0.67% 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 being the only contestant remaining in your league, you must make your pick and outlast the remaining leagues.

Here are the picks used and remaining by contestant. Remember in Week 15 we go to making two selections each week.
