Are we ready for the 2018 season?

Hello everybody! We are back and ready to go for the 2018 season!

As usual, we will have a theme for this season's weekly NFL picks. The theme will be released on Sunday with the Week 1 picks - here's a hint: how did I cope during the last 7 months of chemo? No, it will not be a catalog of my 17 worst bad beats at the UTH table.

Some record keeping going into this year:

Overall picks/wagers as published on the blog: we've been doing this for over 8-9 years now (I need to check the actual start)

Last year: 131-101-6 (56.5%)
Overall: 1472-1348-82  (52.2%)

That 52.2% lifetime number is just shy of the 52.3% needed to break even (assuming a -110 line on each game).


(note: I just checked: documented picks on this blog go back to 2006....Wow!)

Supercontest results:

Last year: 54-28-3  (65.9%)
Overall (7 years, 2011-17): 309-269-17  (53.4%)

Is it too much to expect another performance over 60% this year? Probably so....
