As one would expect in a week where an 0-13 team finally wins, and a 13-0 team finally loses, picks last week were amongst the worst we’ve seen all season—still, when you’re 11-5 (Tony) and 10-6 (Andy) overall, that’s not a terrible week.
That puts us at 150-74 (Andy) and 149-75 (Tony) for the season, which puts us on par with many national “experts”.
This week, four games are picked differently—about as many as we’ve ever picked separately, and probably enough to give one of us a solid lead heading into Week 17. Or, if things go as normal, we’ll split and still be just one game apart…
Andy gained one more game this week, by hitting the Atlanta/Carolina game in another solid week for both us, going 12-4 (me) and 13-3 (him). Of course, this didn’t appear to be a difficult week to pick in the long run.
Three games separate us again this week—most likely the sink or swim week for me, with at least two considerable upsets needed for me to gain ground, in Indianapolis and Carolina, with Miami’s firing of Tony Sparano being the main reason for my choice of Buffalo over Miami.
Week 13 was yet another solid week for our picks. We don’t really have anything interesting or funny to say about it—as a Viking fan who works with Packers fans, it’s been a long season, and even with a solid season of picks, I’m actually ready for the season to be over with.
Andy managed to hit two of the three games we were different on last week, going 12-4 for the week, with my San Diego pick coming through last night to keep me at 11-5—that gives him a one game lead for the season, which I can erase with a Carolina victory over Atlanta this week, the only difference in our Week 14 picks.
Andy finished 11-5 last week, which would normally be a solid week—unfortunately, he was up against my great football mind, which went 13-3 for the week. OK, to be fair he pretty much handed me the Green Bay/Detroit game…and the Carolina/Indianapolis game. Still, I’ll take tied after 12 weeks.
Week 13 brings three matchups where we differ, so we’ll definitely see a leader heading into Week 14. Andy appears to be using some of my own logic against me, avoiding two west coast teams that are heading east in picking Miami over Oakland (which might be a solid pick, given how the Dolphins have been playing) and Jacksonville over San Diego. I think the running games from Oakland and Tampa Bay (over Carolina) will carry the day, and that the turmoil in Jacksonville with Jack Del Rio being fired will reign.
We’ve reached Turkey Week—probably our favorite week of the regular season, with a huge meal followed by non-stop football for the rest of the day. Even the fact that we have to watch the Packers and Cowboys today can’t ruin it.
Last week we managed to split the four games we picked differently, meaning I remain two back for the season. I’ve lost track of our overall records, but we’re still picking ahead of several national “experts” with our 10-4 last week. This week, even just the Thursday games provide two games that we go different ways on, followed by two more on Sunday, making for another interesting week.
