NFL Picks 2016: Week 17

NFL Picks 2016: Week 17

John’s pretty well got this thing wrapped up. A 10-6 mark in week 16 leaves him five up on the nearest competition, Tony, who also hit 10.

Andy has wrapped up the bottom. He’s been clueless most of the season. And he was the first of our pickers to break 100 wrong.

And so it goes.

Here are the standings:

  Week 16 Season
John Vomhof 10-6 153-85-2
Tony 10-6 148-90-2
Maggio 10-6 140-98-2
Andy 9-7 135-103-2

 

Here are the picks for week 17 – do with them what you will: (more…)

Bet the Mortgage: Week 17, 2016

It was more of the same in week 16. Andy, for the first time all season, fell below the $10,000 starting point in his bankroll, while Tony, after being close to mythically broke early on, inched back toward the break-even point.

With just one week left in the regular season, there’s nothing to hold back for – except, I suppose, for trying to hang onto their mythical money because they’re crappy bettors.

So here are the standings:

  Last week Last week $ Overall Overall $ Bankroll
Andy 1-3 -$450 24-38-2 -$400 $9,600
Tony 2-2 +$518 26-35-1 -$1,900 $8,010

 

And here’s the last regular season installment of “Bet the Mortgage,” which should probably more accurately be known as “Do the Opposite.” Here goes: (more…)

Bet the Mortgage: Week 17, 2016

Bet the Mortgage: Week 16, 2016

Brutal. After a decent start, Andy has had a brutal stretch of weeks that culminated in an 0-4 week 15. The losses knocked out all of his profit except a meager $50.

After a brutal start, Tony keeps meandering his way back toward even. His 2-2 week 15 was highlighted by $2,500 hits on Green Bay and New England.

Here are the standings:

Last week Last week $ Overall Overall $ Bankroll
Andy 0-4 -$3,900 23-35-2 +$50 $10,050
