It was closer last week, but Andy continues to pull away in the alternative picks contest. He should have asked for bigger terms than, well, none before the season started. He might have won a Subway lunch or something.
| Week seven | Andy 8-6 |
| Season | Andy 60-44-1 |
There are some interesting games this week. Even a few of those featuring crappy teams have interesting story lines attached to them. Here goes: (more…)
Andy’s picks have been top notch and he’s dominating the Zoneblitz DFS competition, but when it comes to bets he’s choking like a overzealous dog on an oversized bone.
Tony stayed close to even for a while, but he’s been struggling of late. Only hitting on his biggest bet last week kept him within striking distance of staying even.
So, in short, after a year of competence in 2019, they’ve returned to sucking. If you are in Vegas, we suggest doing the opposite of what they recommend – or just print out this part of the blog and use it in your bird cages, much as you used to with newsprint. … you know, the gray paper newspapers are printed on?
Right. So … staying on task …
| Week 6 W/L | Week 6 $ | Season W/L | Season $ | Bankroll | |
| Tony | 1-3 | -$765 | 9-14-1 | -$2,004 | $7,996 |
| Andy | 1-3 | -$1,673 | 8-16 | -$6,298 | $3,702 |
Andy
He didn’t double Tony’s score, but Andy did continue his DFS dominance in the sibling DFS competition. If you asked him, he’d probably say it doesn’t matter – and in reality, how much should it? Even with his abysmal record, he’s still only lost about $6 for the season.
But deep down it has to sting, doesn’t it? Maybe just a bit?
Here are the standings:
| Week 5 | Season | Total points | Point average | |
| Andy | 168.02 | 5-1 | 917.26 | 152.88 |
| Tony | 132.32 | 1-5 | 757.3 | 126.22 |
And here are the week seven lineups:
Tony (more…)
They say ties are like kissing your sister, but for Andy, an even split of week six picks just helped maintain a solid lead in the overall standings. Tony’s going to have to start narrowing the gap one of these days if he wants to regain bragging rights.
| Week six | Tie 7-7 |
| Season | Andy 52-38-1 |
This week’s slate is filled with a couple of compelling games and a bunch that, frankly, nobody outside of the family members of players should care about. Seriously, the NFC East match-ups we’re being treated to this week used to be must-watch football. Nowadays, it’s possible that seven weeks in, a two-win team could lead this division come Monday morning. Pathetic.
In fact, this season’s NFC East is why I am A) Against the obvious money-grab that this year’s playoff expansion is and B) A proponent that in order to make the playoffs, teams should be required to finish at least .500. That is to say, if the NFC East is won with a 6-10 record, that division forfeits its playoff team for the year and the non-playoff team with the best record takes the bottom seed in the conference. Everyone else slots up one.
Anyway, I digress. … Here are our alternative picks for the week. (more…)
Andy started the slow crawl back to mediocrity last week with a .500 performance that left him in the black for the first time in a while. Tony had his toughest week to date in week five.
| Week 5 W/L | Week 5 $ | Season W/L | Season $ | Bankroll | |
| Tony | 1-3 | -$1,500 | 8-11-1 | -$1,239 | $8,761 |
| Andy | 2-2 | +$518 | 7-13 | -$4,625 | $5,375 |
