And the winner is...
01.04.2010 | by: Gullo |
Congrats to Dylan Randall for winning the 2009 Let it Ride league for the most points after 17 weeks!
With selecting San Francisco over the Rams, Dylan wrapped up the 2009 season with +14 points. Unfortunately for Dan, he selected Denver over KC, and like the past 8 weeks, Denver fell apart.
For having the most points, Dylan will take home 30% of the pot, about $80.
See everyone next year! |
Hello Week 15, My Name is Upset.
12.21.2009 | by: Gullo |
For the second year in a row, Let It Ride is ending in a tie. What seemed to be some pretty safe picks, turned out to be the end of the road for both Chatt and Zeitz.
Following the trend of the season, Tampa Bay created another big upset when they beat up Seattle. Fortunately for Chatt, thinking he was all but done, there was a little luck left for him!
With Denver up by 6 and less than 2 minutes on the clock, Zeitz probably though he was going to win it all. Unfortunately, no one informed Oakland. After beating teams all season they shouldn't have (Steelers, Eagles, Bengals), the Raiders did it again! With the Oakland win, the last team was eliminated and the longest streak ends in a tie!
Both Zeitz and Chatt will take home about $90 (splitting 70% of prize) and also be tied in the Hall Of Fame for the longest winning streak. The remaing 30% is still up for grabs and looks to be a close match up! Good luck in the final 2 games! |
The Final Two
12.08.2009 | by: Gullo |
It's the final showdown! Only 2 people are left standing to duke it out! Eric vs. Chatt. North vs. South. Lockport vs. Clearwater.
Eric is the current favorite based on his past selections. In his arsenal he still has the 2 undefeated NFL teams to choose from, Indy and New Orleans. Chatt has already played those cards, so he needs to be even more strategic! This should be a good one!
Both Dan and Dylan were booted out of the final four after big upsets in Week 13. Dan jumped off the ledge after Oakland upset Pittsburgh in a huge win. Dylan also jumped to his death when he selected New England to beat Miami in the AFC showdown. Good luck next year guys! You still have a chance in total points with 4 weeks left! |
Previous Picks

| I finally got around to cleaning up the Previous Picks page. The new layout offers an easier view of who you and the other players have picked in previous weeks. It also offers some additional information, like outcome, match up, and player status. |
The Champ Has Fallen
11.03.2009 | by: Gullo |
We will have a new champion for 2009! With the Cardinals falling to the Panthers in the desert, it will ensure a new Let it Ride champ is crowned. After a last second change to his pick for week 8, Hannigan took himself out of the running for the longest winning streak, and dug his own grave.
The 2009 season has already beat last year for the longest winning streak. Last season it only took to week 6 before everyone was dead and buried. To hold the record for the longest streak, someone will need to surpass Mike Pickreign's record of winning till week 12 in 2007. With 5 people still standing, the odds are looking pretty good! |
Past Two Weeks
10.05.2009 | by: Gullo |
| With almost a month into the NFL season, we are starting to get a clear picture of which teams are true contenders. With each passing week, it gets a little easier to determine which team should win and which should lose. During week 3 and week 4, we've only had one contestant die off. With 8 teams still in the running, it's going to take a big upset until we get down to 1 team alive! |
Week 2 Results - It's a massacure!
09.22.2009 | by: Gullo |
Looks like many of you drank the Kool-Aid!! Every year there is a week like this. A team that seems like a lock goes down, and drags a bunch of participants with them. This year that honor goes to the Green Bay Packers with their lose to the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals big win took 5 people underground!
After week 2, the field is almost cut in half. Luckily for Minnesota's late come back Sunday, or the field would be even smaller. We have 9 players left fighting for the big prize.
To all of you that are no longer "alive", please remember to continue to pick each and every week to compete for the points prize. Better luck in Week 3! |
Week 1 Results
09.15.2009 | by: Gullo |
| A lot of people got very lucky Monday night when New England pulled off with a win over Buffalo (ugh, again). With the Patriots victory, we only had 1 person die off. Unfortunately for Adam Tolli, the Cardinals didn't play like it was still 2008, and were upset by San Francisco. Good luck in the points competition Tolli, someone had to be the first to go! The list is up for Week 2, go ahead and make your picks! |
Week 1
09.08.2009 | by: Gullo |
| Everyone, please remember the season kick's off this Thursday with Tennessee at Pittsburgh! If you haven't selected your game yet this week, and would like to choose a team from that game, please get your pick in soon. If you miss it, you will still be able to pick from the remaining games. Good luck!

Let it Ride - 2009
08.06.2009 | by: Gullo |
The Let it Ride suicide league is back for 2009!
The league will be run the same as previous years. You pick 1 team each week that you think will win. There is no handicap or spread, just pick who will win the game. You will not be able to pick the same team to win more than once, so be careful. You have the ability to change your selection during the week, as long as the game you picked a winner in has not yet begun.
Each win will give you +1 point, a loss will take away -2 points. If the game is tied, it will be considered a loss. The contestant that lasts the longest without selecting a losing team, will win 70% of the pot. At the end of Week 17, the team with the most points will win 30%.
The game has been given a little bit of a face lift this year. In addition to a cleaner look, it will keep track of the teams you've previously selected and let you know if it was a win or lose. It will automatically prevent you from selecting the same team twice. Additionally, in years past, contestants would often forget to select a team before kickoff. This would force that contestant to select from a later game. This will be true again, but now you can make your selection on the site. After a game has kicked off, that game will no longer be an option to chose from. This should hopefully help those who forget to pick earlier in the week.
To get started, just register with BuffaloFantasy if you are not already a member. You can register by clicking here. Once you are a member and logged in, just make your pick for Week 1. If you'd like to participate for the prize, please let me know.
If you have any questions, please give me a shout. Good luck to all!
