WEEK #12 - 2023 UPDATE (FINAL)
After 12 weeks, we have our champion!
Congratulations to David Famula for winning the 8th annual Austin Hardware Charity Football Pool.
Week 12 came down to our final two players; David and this year's runner-up, Robert Carmer.
David advanced Sunday afternoon when the Los Angeles Rams defeated the Arizona Cardinals 37-14. The game held little intrigue after the first quarter when Arizona led 8-7. The Rams subsequently scored 30 unanswered points to cruise to victory.
The final result came down to the Monday night game between the Chicago Bears and Robert’s pick of the Minnesota Vikings. Despite not scoring a touchdown, the Bears were able to parlay four Cairo Santos field goals into a 12-10 upset victory on the road over the Vikings, thus eliminating Robert from the pool. Ironically, last year’s winner was also determined on a Monday night by a Bears victory.
