Alternative Picks: Week 1, 2020

Alternative Picks: Week 1, 2020

Well, we’re finally here. After one of the weirdest offseasons in history, taking place during one of the weirdest years in history, we’re finally going to have football. At least for now.

I think picking games this year is going to be harder than ever before. We may not know until well after post-time in some situations if, say, for example, Matt Moore will be starting at QB for Kansas City because Patrick Mahomes has the COVID. But throwing darts can be fun. So, WTF. Here we go.

Season 0-0

Picks n’ Bets: Divisional weekend

Picks n’ Bets: Divisional weekend

Well, that was rough. Wild Card weekend was exciting, but the results were tough on Tony and Andy. They combined to go 1-7 on bets, wiping out much of what they had won in the regular season. The picks weren’t very good either.

We’ll start with bets:

  Playoff bankroll Wild Card W/L Wild Card $ Remaining bank
Andy $20,127 1-3 -$6,550 $13,577
Tony $19,357 0-4 -$9,750 $9,607

Andy: Nowhere to go but up from here.

Alternative Pick: Week 4, 2019

Oooh, some drama.

Usually you get a pretty good sense for which one of us is going to win this thing in the first few weeks, but this year we’ve switched off winning and the overall count is within three games. You can cut the tension with a knife.

Standings:

Week 3 Andy 10-6
Season Andy 25-22-1
