I am a nice guy. I noticed during the first games last Sunday that my brother did not make his picks, so I sent him a reminder. I could have said nothing and let him take a big fat zero. Instead, he was able to pick the rest and managed to get 4/6. Jon only picked four right as well and he managed to make all of his picks. I was the best with nine and my lead over my brother is now four. I am eight ahead of Jon and fifteen up on Sean.
Underdog Special: Las Vegas Raiders (+3.0)
I am not sure if you will be able to find the Raiders as underdogs now. Also, I am on a bit of a losing streak. There are a few underdogs I may be willing to take (maybe I will do a crazy parley to try and get some of my money back).
Underdog Record: 8-6 (+$51.13)
Steelers Pick: I am taking Tennessee here. I just do not have any confidence in this team. I think the betting markets have actually tightened the line a bit more. Pittsburgh needs to win this game if they want to keep their playoff hopes alive. After this week they have the Chiefs, Browns, and Ravens. I do not like the chances of winning three out of four.
Steelers Pick Record: 7-6
I need to buy Scott a beer! He hung on to defeat Dustin,while I managed to beat Jarrod. Which means that I am in the playoffs! Unfortunately I have the honor of playing against my brother, who finished the regular season in first place with a 12-2 record. He will probably beat me by 100.
The rest of the playoffs look like this:
Peppa Pigskin (Lindsey) vs. My Knees are Solar-powered (Bill)
The Mega Powers (BatmanJason) vs. classy like FoxNews (Jason)
WranglerJeanShorts (Seth) vs. The Dirty Punts (Heidi)
My prediction: I upset my brother then beat my wife (yikes, that sounds awful) and then lose to Seth in the finals. HAHAHA….I like to dream.
