Well, we’re about to say goodbye to this God-forsaken hellhole of a year. Like many, we couldn’t be happier. On the other hand, that means saying goodbye to the 2020 NFL regular season, which has been weird at times, but has provided a significantly needed distraction at times from the real world.
Andy needs to get just one of his selections correct in week 17 in order to win the alternative picks.

Here are our last alternative picks for the 2021 season. (more…)
Yep, we’re almost done here. We should have been done a couple weeks ago, but our ownership of this blog allows us to make the rules, which we have clearly set to allow ourselves to bet into the red.
Don’t call it a comeback…because its4’s not there yet, but Week 15 marked the first back to back wins by Tony this season, driven by contributions from Darrell Mooney & Greg Ward in the Flex & WR/TE spots–not to mention Calvin Ridley’s big day. If he can finish the season with two more wins…he won’t get back to even, but will at least make it respectable.

This week … Sunday games … because Fanball doesn’t think it’s important to have a full week slate of games to pick from as an option. Which is why next year, if we do this again, we’ll find another site to do it on.
Andy: Last week I liked my lineup. A lot of good that did me. This week … well, a couple of the guys I wanted to pick weren’t available because Fanball didn’t have the slate of games we were hoping to use. And, with the holidays, I kind of just slapped this together. So, who knows.
QB – Patrick Mahomes vs ATL – $8,600 – I get the most prolific QB in the game at home against one of the worst pass defenses in the league. I suppose the Chiefs could get up early and then run clock, but if they get a lead early, Mahomes is probably a bit part of why.
I’d be surprised if anyone is really sitting on the edge of the seats waiting for this one, so I’ll keep it brief. It was a week of ties – Andy and Tony were dead even in both alternative and straight-up picks. That allows Andy to maintain his lead.

I’d rather be sleeping than writing at the moment, so without further ado: (more…)
A third solid week in a row for Tony, and second victory in three weeks–probably too little, too late, but at least he’ll likely have a balance heading into the offseason.

Andy: I really like this lineup, which is probably bad. Every time I think I really like a lineup, it sucks.
$500 – New England (+2.5, -110) at Miami – In the picks segment, I’m pretty sure I went with Miami. I think I’m getting that one wrong. I should have thought more ahead of time about what Bill Belichick did to Justin Herbert the other day. It’s what he does to all rookie QBs. And Tua has not played as much as Herbert. And most of his front-line weapons are beaten up. I now think the Patriots win this game. (more…)
