Tony’s run of dominance continues (Let’s all remember that last year Andy was the one in the lead all season). He doubled Andy up in week seven, significantly extending his lead.
| Week Seven | 9-4 |
| Season | 61-46 |
1) Andy – Rams over Texans – Everybody thought heading into the season that Houston would be bad. After a couple plucky games early, it’s turned out everyone was right. (more…)
After a couple weeks of near competence, Andy struggled again in both straight-up and alternative picks.
| Week Six | Tony 8-6 |
| Season | Tony 52-42 |
Here are the alternative picks.
1 Andy – Rams over Lions – This game won’t generate quite the hype the Bucs/Patriots did a couple weeks ago, in part because neither Matt Stafford nor Jared Goff are Tom Brady, but also because Detroit is horrible and Los Angeles should win by 40.
(more…)
Well, it wasn’t a blowout, but Andy got a narrow win that helped keep Tony from running away with the contest.
| Week four | Andy 9-7 |
| Season | Tony 36-28 |
Does it seem like this season’s games have been harder than those in a typical season? Anyway, here are this week’s alternative picks:
1) Andy – Buccaneers over Dolphins – Not that I was expecting a Super Bowl or even a playoff appearance from Miami this year, but the Dolphins have been among the league’s most disappointing teams so far, in my eyes. Tampa just keeps plugging along, not necessarily looking great yet, but getting enough done to make sure they end up in the postseason where the games really matter. Easy win.
There have been a lot of overhyped moments in the NFL in recent years. The presence of ESPN and the generally shouty nature of NFL commentary these days assures that there will always be the next “best in the history of” moment coming down the road soon.
But I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the propaganda machine as at work as it has been the last week or so for Tom Brady’s return to Foxborough, MS as Tampa Bay prepares to take on New England and his former coach, Bill Belichick.
I’ve read that Belichick’s legacy is at stake – if Brady not only wins last year’s Super Bowl but also beats his former coach in his former home stadium that it tarnishes what the coach accomplished over the last two decades.
I’ve read, in the Athletic – which I think does pretty good sports journalism, for the most part – that this is “one of the biggest regular season games in NFL history.” Or the biggest.
Really? (more…)
The brothers dueled to a draw in week two, allowing Tony to keep a solid four-game lead.
| Week Two | 8-8 |
| Season | Tony 18-14 |
Here are week three picks:
1 Andy: Ravens over Lions – Lamar Jackson will never be a classic passer, but he seems to have figured out how to throw well enough to complement his outstanding run game. The Ravens are a contender. Detroit … is on the latest round of trying to figure out what has periled them for the last three-quarters of a century.
2 Tony: Broncos over Jets – So maybe it wasn’t all Adam Gase’s fault… (more…)
