Week 8 Completed.
The return of Pinch is the headline!
The only 5-0 in week 8 as he was in week 1. It returned him to a tie atop the list.
We had 1 entries that went 5-0 and that brings the season total to 15.
We had 4 entries go 0-5 and the season total rises to 21.
The top 5 consensus picks went 2-3. The Consensus Top Pick lost for the fourth week in a row as the Steelers cost 28 backers a loss.
Consensus top pick now 1-7.
The top 5 overall dips to 18-22 after 8 weeks.
Overall game selections went 6-6
Overall selections went 160-165.
Overall for the season the picks stand at 1273-1362 for a 48.31% win rate.
In looking at the overall top consensus pick, it should be with an asterisk as the only winner was due to an injury and a big line switch. I hate saying but this has been a gold mine if you've had the chops to fade it. When I see I end up with any pick in the top 5, I'm thinking damn I have a loser now. If it's the top pick, I know I'm losing nearly every time. It's really uncanny how this has played out the last few years. A gold mine should never be looked at bad, just get the clothespin on your nose and go bet against it.
The pace is 56.25 wins needed to win. Note last week it was over 56.5 so a small drop but I think it will drop some more and hold steady. If I had to make a guess right now, I'd say 54-55 wins likely takes the top spot, but there's 10 weeks left and anything is possible.
On to Week 9............... |
