Bet the Mortgage: Week 15, 2016

Bet the Mortgage: Week 15, 2016

IF you’re going to go 1-3, get the right one correct.

Andy did so, nailing a $2,000 bet at +120 on Atlanta over the hapless Rams. If only he had wagered more. The remainder of his bets did not hit, but their total value on the line totaled $2,000. So, he came out $400 ahead.

Tony’s luck was not as good. After riding a solid winning streak for several weeks, his one win was on Cincinnati beating up even-more-hapless-Cleveland. His three misses tallied him a $1,602 loss for the week.

Here are the standings to date:

  Last week Last week $ Overall Overall $ Bankroll
Andy 1-3 +$400 23-31-2 +$3,950 $13,950
Tony 1-3 -$3,451 22-33-1 -$3,451 $6,549

NFL Survivor Pool 2016: Week 15

Last week felt almost like a free pass. Atlanta got most of us in the win column against a Rams team that finally succeeded in getting Jeff Fisher fired. And Tony’s Detroit pick was a little closer than expected, but watching the Lions hang on to beat Chicago can hardly be described as a surprise.

This week we’ve all got to dig a bit deeper. Here’s what we came up with for week 15.

Tony: Green Bay

Vomhof: Houston

Andy: Buffalo

Maggio: Seattle

Rich: Miami

NFL Picks 2016: Week15

Lose one here, lose one there … pretty soon it’s week 15 and you’re in danger of losing the house over a stupid pick ‘em pool.

Hypothetically.

Yes, we’re at week 15. Our picks last week were … better. We still trail most of the “experts” and NFLPickwatch.com this season. But we’re starting to catch on, at least a little bit.

Here are the standings:

  Week 14 Overall
Tony 11-5 126-80-2
Andy 11-5 116-90-2
Vomhof 10-6 130-76-2
Maggio 9-7 120-86-2

 

John Vomhof had pulled away from the pack for a while. Tony’s starting to catch up. Not sure if there are enough questionable games this week to narrow the gap. Here are the picks: (more…)
