DFS: Week 13, 2020

DFS: Week 13, 2020

So of course as soon as Tony starts looking forward to figuring out how to make sure his balance is $0 at the end of the season, he goes out and picks up another win … and a big one at that, with nearly a 100 point gap, thanks to Tyreek Hill … who overcame a combined 4.8 points from Darius Slayton & Michael Pittman.

 

Week 12 Season Total points Weekly average
Andy 78.9 8-4 1,615.4 134.62
Tony 170.14 4-8 1,528.48 127.37

Not sure we thought we could hit a new low, but during the elongated Thanksgiving week of football we did. Between the two writers, they were 1-7, with Andy’s bankroll now retaining barely enough to cover mythical bus fare to the hypothetical airport.

Tony 1-3 -$1,819 17-28-3 -$6,289 $3,911
Andy 0-4 -$2,450 16-31-1 -$9,988 $12

Andy: I’ve had good years betting … well, maybe just one good year. And I’ve had many bad ones. But this has gotten ridiculous.

The grind that is the COVID-affected 2020 football season has approached the final quarter of the season. Andy still has a solid lead in the picks segments, but a couple big wins the last three weeks have brought Tony back to within striking distance.

Here are the standings:

Week 12 Tony 10-6
