Scenario 5:
MIA(6), GB (6), NYJ (2), DAL (2), MIN (1) 
Spread 'em - MIN was the next highest at .6

Pleasantly surprised I change my vote to SCENARIO FIVE. My personal pools look like that with less weight on Miami and more on Dallas

With the only difference between one and five being one vote for MN instead of Miami I'm indifferent. So I'd change my vote to five if that helps.

My official vote is Scenario Five.  If I was counted for another scenario, could you please change? 
 
Thanks again Tony for keeping track of all of this.

I vote for Scenario 2
 
I just don't see getting 4 or 5 different games right.  I am leery of the Jets and hate picking NFC East games.

I will drop my vote for 3 in favor of 5 just like fiskful of dollars did. This puts us at near consensus

Edit: just wanted to add that I love this approach of developing scenarios and then voting

I know it won't win, but I prefer scenario 2. I have zero faith in Dallas, MIN, or NYJ. But this is the craziest week 1 ever, so I'm cool with majority rule.

tonysr is a 2 - but it looks lie 5 is going to take it. I'm going to lock us in now before my kids get up from their nap and I forget.
Speaking of that, who wants to be my backup in this thing in case I go missing?

Check my work - Sorry for the funky sort. I should have put a leading 0 in before the #s.
(hobo15 is the league code)
9700+ entries or 730k

Bears looking better than expected. Run game is looking strong, Cutler still inconsistent but this game may be close.

How can a $730K payout be made without the IRS taking a notice?

I don't understand how this guy handles this pool, first off receiving $730K (doesn't that raise flags via paypal...or even at a bank?), managing 9700+ emails all week...the logistics baffle me.

Good work so far team.  Pats, Jets, Packers & Dolphins all win. Up to Cowboys and Vikings now.  But nice start.

Doesn't take PayPal. Picks are done through epigskin, nothing there to manage. It's the million dollars that is the big question. He's got to own a car wash or two.
Payout is done in small chunks over time.

Thanks makes much more sense. I think we are looking at about $11,000 a share. Nice to start this week off well.

Outstanding job so far everyone! It's funny how the hardest week 1 ever turned out to be not so bad (I survived in my other pool as well).
