by Andy | Dec 31, 2020 | 2020 season, NFL Picks

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…)

Alternative Picks: Week 16, 2020

by Tony & Andy | Dec 25, 2020 | 2020 season, NFL Picks

Merry Christmas everyone.

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…)

Alternative Picks: Week 15, 2020

by Tony & Andy | Dec 15, 2020 | 2020 season, NFL Picks

This up-and-down, COVID-impacted season is nearing an end. Tony had narrowed the gap considerably, but in week 14 he kicked it all away. Andy lengthened his lead with only three weeks left.

Every time we count him out, he pulls back into the race. Can Tony pull closer again?

Alternative Picks: Week 14, 2020

by Tony & Andy | Dec 10, 2020 | 2020 season, NFL Picks

We have a competitive contest. A 20-11 run the last two weeks has pulled Tony within three correct picks of Andy as we complete the last quarter of the season. Usually, in 2020, a good week for him has been followed by a dud. But he was dominant in week 13, as Andy missed half his own picks.

Oh, the drama. You can cut the tension with a knife.

1) Tony:

Alternative Picks: Week 13, 2020

by Tony & Andy | Dec 3, 2020 | 2020 season, NFL Picks

The grind that is the COVID-affected 2020 football season has approached the final quarter of the season. Andy still has a solid lead in the picks segments, but a couple big wins the last three weeks have brought Tony back to within striking distance.

Here are the standings:

We’re one bye week game away from being done with them for the season, assuming COVID doesn’t push any games into the hypothetical week 18. So far, so good, at least according to what has hit the media so far, knock on wood. Here are the alternative picks for this week: (more…)

Alternative Picks: Week 12, 2020

by Tony & Andy | Nov 24, 2020 | 2020 season, NFL Picks

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.

Anyone else disappointed with the Thanksgiving slate of games? Detroit, Houston, Dallas, Washington? Yay, I can fall asleep watching half the NFC East suck Thursday afternoon. (more…)
