Gotta hand it to Tony – he’s not going to go down without a fight. After getting shellacked in week 10 he’s pulled off two consecutive convincing wins. Andy’s still winning though.
| Week 12 | Tony 9-5 |
| Season | Andy 90-85-1 |
Andy missed two of his top three picks last week to fall behind. Can he correct course? Here goes: (more…)
Oooh, some drama.
Usually you get a pretty good sense for which one of us is going to win this thing in the first few weeks, but this year we’ve switched off winning and the overall count is within three games. You can cut the tension with a knife.
Standings:
| Week 3 | Andy 10-6 |
| Season | Andy 25-22-1 |
And they’ve mostly been proud days. Manning has never been the best QB in the league, but he’s probably gone back-and-forth between the second- and third-tier at times, excelling, of course, twice on postseason runs that ended up with New York upsetting New England to win two of its Lombardi trophies.
The question, then, becomes does Eli follow in brother Peyton’s footsteps and try to find another team to hook up with at the end of his career for one or two more runs at postseason glory? Or does he decide that 16 seasons is enough. And, if he chooses the latter, will we be hearing from him again in five or 10 years as he prepares for a speech in Canton?
He’s a little bit of a tough one to assess. Does he have the counting stats? Perhaps. If he retired now, he’d do so as the seventh-ranked QB all-time in passing yardage, though barring injury, Philip Rivers likely will pass him up this season. (more…)
Okay, so what in the hell were the Texans thinking Monday night playing 20 yards downfield when Drew Brees needed about six yards on the last offensive play to give his kicker a shot at the game-winning field goal?
This has not been a very productive segment for us for years, but we were both a Texans’ upset from finishing solidly in the money in week one. Instead, Tony got a small win and Andy took a small loss. Nothing humiliating. A good start… but it could have been so much better.
Here are the standings:
| Week 1 W/L | Week 1 $ | Season W/L | Season $ | Bankroll | |
| Tony | 2-2 | +$409 | 2-2 | +$409 | $10,409 |
| Andy | 1-2-1 | -$400 | 1-2-1 | -$400 | $9,600 |
And, so, we’ve begun. Tony’s got the lead, so here goes: (more…)
This segment has been mostly laughable in the years since we started. We’ve pondered killing it. We’ve pondered different ways of doing it. But in the end, we just keep coming back to the mythical $10,000 bankroll that both of us usually manage to piss away well before the season ends.
So, please, for the love of God, don’t use these bets for anything more than entertainment purposes.
Here are the opening standings:
| Bankroll | |
| Andy | $10,000 |
| Tony | $10,000 |
And here are our first bets for the 2019 season: (more…)
