It just keeps getting uglier and uglier. Andy hasn’t correctly pretended to wager on a game in two weeks. And Tony has to consider it a victory to end up $9 ahead for a week.
Good grief.
| Week 13 W/L | Week 3 $ | Season W/L | Season $ | Bankroll | |
| Tony | 2-2 | +$9 | 19-30-3 | -$6,080 | $3,920 |
| Andy | 0-3-1 | -$1,300 | 16-34-2 | -$11,268 | -$1,268 |
Andy: This is embarrassing. Probably best if just shush and pick. (more…)
We have a competitive contest. A 20-11 run the last two weeks has pulled Tony within three correct picks of Andy as we complete the last quarter of the season. Usually, in 2020, a good week for him has been followed by a dud. But he was dominant in week 13, as Andy missed half his own picks.
| Week 13 | Tony 10-5 |
| Season | Andy 97-94-1 |
Oh, the drama. You can cut the tension with a knife.
1) Tony:
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 |
Another week this week of Sunday only games, I believe–because Fanball knows no one wants to play DFS with ALL of the games on the slate.
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.
Luckily, we’ve built in to this segment the ability to bet using imaginary IOUs, comfortable in knowing that any negatives we can’t cover will only be pursued by the pretend Vitos and Guidos that go around breaking knuckles.
So, with that said, Andy will have to do some deficit spending this week. Here are the standings:
| Week 12 W/L | Week 12 $$ | Season W/L | Season $$ | Bankroll | |
| 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 |
| Season | Andy 92-84-1 |
We’re one bye week game away from being done with them for the season, assuming COVID doesn’t push any games into the hypothetical week 18. So far, so good, at least according to what has hit the media so far, knock on wood. Here are the alternative picks for this week: (more…)

agreed paul unless they change the rules at this point who even knows what it will be like in 3-5…

Also Jones needed more peak seasons and 1000+ career receptions to secure 1st ballot-of course now an even harder accomplishment…
