Week 14- 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 13 Results 1-4

I’m not sure what gets colder quicker- the temperature in November or my lousy picks. The Bears should have mauled the Lions who were forced to start a 3rd string QB. Yet they barely survived, pun intended. Carolina did even worse and outright lost to the pathetic Redskins, which sealed head coach Ron Rivera’s fate. The Chargers also lost to the Broncos (who started rookie QB Drew Lock) despite having Derwin James come back. The Patriots lost in Houston. I found out after the fact that 9 New England players had the flu which didn’t help. Only the Chiefs came through for me- and saved me from the dreaded goose egg. Those picks should have done better. 3rd string QBs and rookie QBs usually struggle. The strategy was sound, the results were horrible. Four weeks left and the way things have been going lately- the end of the regular season can’t come soon enough.
