A meaningless garbage time cover by the hapless New York Jets swung week 11 in Tony’s favor. He took the Jets +9.5 and, hence, he added to his bankroll. Andy had the Chargers at -9. He still virtually broke even, but the result doesn’t leave him with a lot of breathing room.

Andy: (SMMFH) (Slams a shot) The flippin’ Jets. Of course, it’s the flippin’ Jets. (more…)
Andy lost big in week 10, but rebounded in week 11 to start rebuilding his lost lead.
It was tighter – neither picker was particularly accurate. But Andy narrowly won the week.

Uff da. The moderate success these writers experienced in week nine did not carry over, as between them both, they combined for just one winning bet and one tie in week 10.
The numbers are atrocious, folks. If this segment is must-see blog posting, it has to be for nothing other than the “car crash” factor – it’s ugly but you can’t look away.

Andy – Uggh. This is brutal. Embarrassing. We suck at gambling. … Maybe there is an upside to this pandemic – we haven’t been able to go to Las Vegas and try this with real money.
A 2-5 week by Andy kick-started a lopsided week 10 win for Tony, who still trails in the alternative picks contest, but now can think of paying off his lunch debt in Subway sandwiches rather than in Oceanaire seafood dinners.
Tony was 6-1 or the week. Here are the standings:

So far when Tony wins a week, he has usually followed up with a clunker. Can he get a winning streak going?

Good week for Tony. One of his better ones. Andy still has the edge for the season, but he’s been down the last couple weeks. Can he get back on track?

Andy: I’m playing a bit of a game of studs-and-duds this week, though I think the “duds” all have upside based on either match-up or recent usage trends. Tony’s catching up. Gotta bury him again. (more…)
