It was a good week for the chalk. Andy and Tony both hit six of seven picks for a tie.
Here are the standings:
Week 8 | Tie 7-7 |
Season | Andy 61-58-2 |
It’s already week nine. Here are the alternative picks.
1) Andy: Chiefs over Browns – I think it’s good Cleveland changed coaches. I don’t think it’s going to lead to immediate turnarounds.
2) Tony: Panthers over Buccaneers – There’s one game I feel pretty good about this week. This isn’t it.
3) Tony: Chargers over Seahawks – The Chargers are…better? Than the Seahawks?
4) Andy: Minnesota over Detroit – Tough week. I like this pick. I don’t love it.
5) Tony: Falcons over Redskins – Looking back…wow, I picked this?
6) Andy: Patriots over Packers – Green Bay can play with anyone, but the Patriots are still the king of the AFC.
7) Tony: Texans over Broncos – Not sure if the DT trade makes the Broncos better, or worse. Definitely makes the Texans better, though.
8) Andy: Cowboys over Titans – My resolve for these picks has been pretty weak and starting here it’s pretty much nonexistent.
9) Tony: Bears over Bills – Bears. Beat. Buffalo.
10) Andy: Steelers over Ravens – See pick eight.
11) Tony: 49ers over Raiders – Guess what I’m not watching tonight?
12) Andy: Dolphins over Jets – Now we’re getting into who even cares territory.
13) Tony: Rams over Saints – This should be entertaining at least.

Jets vs Dolphins is one of the more competitive regular season rivalries in football history at 54-51-1 in favor of the Jets . They have a long history of not liking each other. Who knows in today’s softened up League? lol In recent years both teams haven’t garnered much attention, deservedly so .
Oakland can be given zero respect for the rest of the season!! Vegas had this as a basically even game with San Fran being a 3 pt fav at home. Gruden’s Team has quit on him! Only 3 pts in two of three games in THIS NFL with Derek Carr as their QB!! He’s only missing two high profile players. Teams have lost worse to injury and persevered so much better. Pretty soon they’ll have to give tickets away or the crappy stadium will be nearly empty, The Raiders will be the saddest story in the NFL for the next two years until Vegas. I don’t think this is what Mark Davis and “Chucky” had in mind. :)
Come on people! It’s not all about the HOF? Let’s talk weekly games too. I guess Twitter, FB, Instagram what ever that is lol have take over for the young fans.
Nice pick Tony taking Falcons over Redskins. Looks like better coaching won out.
I think I’ve picked Jets’ games wrong every week so far. lol Darnold went from toast of town to just toast. lol
