Tony got his bets a little bit back on track during divisional weekend, getting himself back into the black for the season’s entirety. Andy struggled again, probably betting a couple games with his heart rather than his head – which is easier to avoid during the regular season when there is a full slate of games from which to choose.
| Playoff bankroll | Divisional W/L | Divisional $ | Remaining bank | |
| Andy | $13,577 | 1-3 | -$2,436 | $11,141 |
| Tony | $9,607 | 2-2 | +$3,214 | $12,821 |
Well, that was rough. Wild Card weekend was exciting, but the results were tough on Tony and Andy. They combined to go 1-7 on bets, wiping out much of what they had won in the regular season. The picks weren’t very good either.
| Playoff bankroll | Wild Card W/L | Wild Card $ | Remaining bank | |
| Andy | $20,127 | 1-3 | -$6,550 | $13,577 |
| Tony | $19,357 | 0-4 | -$9,750 | $9,607 |
Andy: Nowhere to go but up from here.
Tony needed one more big week to harbor any realistic chance of catching Andy in this contest. Instead, week 16 turned out to be a tie.
| Week 16 | Tie, 8-8 |
| Season | Andy 122-117-1 |
Here’s the last set of alternative picks for the 2019 regular season. (more…)
This thing is seesawing back-and-forth like crazy. Tony gets himself back in the mix with two weeks to go.
| Week 15 | Tony 10-6 |
| Season | Andy 114-109-1 |
Can Andy hang on or does Tony mount a miracle comeback? Just two weeks to go …
1) Tony: Ravens over Browns – If the Ravens win, they should have a chance to rest Lamar Jackson in week 17. If the Browns win, they may still have a glimmer of a playoff chance…and Freddie Kitchens chances of keeping his job climb higher. That alone might be enough to get the Browns to lay down.
2) Andy: Seahawks over Cardinals – Seattle is playing for something. Arizona is not.
3) Andy: 49ers over Rams – Los Angeles just hasn’t been the same team that went to the Super Bowl last year most of the season. San Francisco is fighting for a bye and lost a tough one against Atlanta last week. The 49ers will come out ready.
4) Tony: Steelers over Jets – The Steelers are currently the 6th seed for the playoffs, but they have the Titans breathing down their neck. With a Ravens matchup in Week 17, the Steelers know they have to get the job done this week.
5) Andy: Chiefs over Bears – Kansas City is back on track. The Bears are done. They’re looking to get out of town.
6) Tony: Texans over Buccaneers – The Buccaneers have quietly managed to get to .500, led by Jameis Winston’s fantasy playoff heroics. But they look to be down both Chris Godwin & Mike Evans this week in a tough matchup that could be key to the Texans locking up the AFC South, with the Titans facing a tough game against the Saints.
7) Andy: Broncos over Lions – Denver isn’t good, but the team is trending up a bit under Drew Lock. Detroit is worse than Denver and they’ve largely quit.
8) Tony: Dolphins over Bengals – Wonder if Brian Flores got any of those Patriots videos…
9) Andy: Falcons over Jaguars – Wow. THAT is ballsy, taking the Dolphins in the upper half of a confidence pool. I don’t care how bad Cincy is. I’m impressed. I’ll go the Falcons, who have played better the second half of the season, while the Jaguars have barely shown up.
10) Tony: Colts over Panthers – I can almost guarantee that Marlon Mack has a big day, since he torpedoed our fantasy championship hopes in Week 15. The Panthers appear to finally be giving Will Grier a chance, so I’ll go the other way.
11) Andy: Saints over Titans – Tennessee has had a nice second half, but the last three games are tough and last week’s loss to the Texans really hurt the postseason chances. New Orleans is still in line for a bye.
12) Tony: Raiders over Chargers – Yeah, probably should have taken the Saints…I think I forgot that game was still on the board since I was talking about the Titans earlier. Here, the finger pointing has started in Oakland…but it’s been going on in Los Angeles for weeks. Will be interesting to see if the Black Hole descends on the Chargers soccer stadium to continue raining trash and abuse on the Raiders as they prepare to move east…
13) Andy: Cowboys over Eagles – Dallas sucks, but Philly is worse.
14) Tony: Patriots over Bills – Buffalo is good, New England is still better. Maybe.
15) Andy: Packers over Vikings – YES!!! I was hoping that would happen – I think Buffalo is playing better football right now. Admittedly, that could change in a heartbeat. But I was going to take Buffalo next. Instead, I’ll take Tony’s strategy and choose the Vikings opponent in a game I see as a tossup, because then I’ll have a reason to be happy if the home team doesn’t come through.
16) Tony: Washington over Giants – Why am I going Washington? Because I have to pick someone.
Tony’s pretty well got the straight-up picks locked up for the season. He added a couple more wins to his lead last week.
| Week 15 | Season | |
| Tony | 11-5 | 143-80-1 |
| Andy | 9-7 | 132-91-1 |
Week 16, here we come …
| Tony | Andy |
| Ravens | Ravens |
| Seahawks | Seahawks |
| 49ers | 49ers |
| Steelers | Steelers |
| Chiefs | Chiefs |
| Buccaneers | Buccaneers |
| Broncos | Broncos |
| Dolphins | Dolphins |
| Falcons | Falcons |
| Colts | Colts |
| Saints | Saints |
| Raiders | Chargers |
| Eagles | Cowboys |
| Patriots | Bills |
| Packers | Packers |
| Washington | Giants |
Well, give Andy some credit. Every time Tony starts narrowing the gap Andy comes back with a solid win. It’s still anyone’s contest, but time is running out.
| Week 14 | Andy 11-5 |
| Season | Andy 108-99-1 |
Can he stay hot? (more…)
Well … this tightened up in a hurry. Tony has dominated the second half of the season and has this pick segment close.
| Week 13 | Tony 9-7 |
| Season | Andy 97-94-1 |
Andy attempts to get things headed back his way this week. (more…)
