(Don’t) Bet the Mortgage: Week 17, 2020

(Don’t) Bet the Mortgage: Week 17, 2020

Hey, whaddya know. Andy got three games right. That took long enough. Doesn’t get him back to positive, but it puts him in striking distance. Tony joined him in the negatives this week. Good time for the season to end, I guess.

Week 16 W/L Season W/L Week 16 $$ Season $$ Bankroll
Andy 3-1 21-41-2 +$2,052 -$10,340 -$340
Tony 1-3 22-39-3 -$1,391 -$10,317 -$317

 

Andy: To say I’ve got momentum is severely far-fetched, but I’ll take a good week. Hoping to end on a good note. (more…)

Merry Christmas everyone.

I’d be surprised if anyone is really sitting on the edge of the seats waiting for this one, so I’ll keep it brief. It was a week of ties – Andy and Tony were dead even in both alternative and straight-up picks. That allows Andy to maintain his lead.

Week 15 Tie 8-8
Season Andy 117-106-1

 

I’d rather be sleeping than writing at the moment, so without further ado: (more…)

A third solid week in a row for Tony, and second victory in three weeks–probably too little, too late, but at least he’ll likely have a balance heading into the offseason.

 

Week 12 Season Total points Weekly average
Andy 110.22 9-5 1,907.66 136.3
Tony 146.14 5-9 1,674.62 119.6

Andy: I really like this lineup, which is probably bad. Every time I think I really like a lineup, it sucks.

This sucks.

Andy:

$500 – New England (+2.5, -110) at Miami – In the picks segment, I’m pretty sure I went with Miami. I think I’m getting that one wrong. I should have thought more ahead of time about what Bill Belichick did to Justin Herbert the other day. It’s what he does to all rookie QBs. And Tua has not played as much as Herbert. And most of his front-line weapons are beaten up. I now think the Patriots win this game. (more…)

This up-and-down, COVID-impacted season is nearing an end. Tony had narrowed the gap considerably, but in week 14 he kicked it all away. Andy lengthened his lead with only three weeks left.

Week 14 Andy 12-4
Season Andy 109-98-1

Every time we count him out, he pulls back into the race. Can Tony pull closer again?
