After a lengthy delay, here are the picks we made last week.  In a twist of fate, the week that we delayed posting them, we actually went out and finished in third place in our ranking pool–netting us some cash back (not quite the entry fee–but if we finish third or higher again, we’ll be covered for the year).  We finished the week with just a 104–but we climbed to 30th overall for the year.

Head to head, I’ll have to get caught up on.  But as for Week 9 picks…well, we’re not the most superstitious people in the world–but we figured why screw with what’s worked, so we’ve made our picks early again, but plan on holding off on publishing them for now.
