Week 12- WestGate Supercontest Picks

***Disclaimer- these picks are for fun and to see how bad I do. If you wager - only bet what you can afford to lose. Always assume you’re going to lose. Never risk the mortgage, rent, or your kid’s college education. There is NO such thing as a sure thing- especially with my lousy picks. If you risk more than you can afford and lose- that’s on you. I told you so! In the Supercontest - you must pick 5 games each week- whether you like them or not. I may not like some games but I still have to pick 5 so keep that in mind. Their rules not mine.

The 2018 winner beat out 3,122 other participants. Typically it takes around a 65% winning pct to have a shot at winning it all. In 2018 the winner went 70% against the spread- just unbelievable! Anyway I just want to do this for fun and see how it goes.

Week 11 Results 3-2

After a shaky start, I rebounded to have a plus week. That said, it could have been a lot better. The Vikings didn’t show up in the 1st half. They came roaring back to win the game, but not enough to cover….Out West the Bengals played the Raiders tougher than I thought. 10.5 is a lot of wood to lay and too much for both the Vikes and Raiders. Fortunately, Dallas had little trouble with Detroit. The Lions defense was no match for Dak and Zeke. New England got back to their winning ways beating the Eagles on the road. The Eagles WRs crew is pretty beat up. Scoring was at a premium for them…..On Monday Night, the Chiefs survived against the Chargers despite a late drive by Phillip Rivers in the final minute. 3-2 is not bad, but it could have been better. I liked the Browns, Bills, and Colts too, but decided against them. 4-1 or 5-0 would have really padded the win total. That;s another aspect why the Supercontest is so tough, you can have a good overall week but if you go with the wrong games and leave others out it can really hurt your percentage. On to week 12!
