Don't press Gregg Giannotti, because when the going got tough last week, Gio got going! A 4-1 week, combined with 1-4 weeks for Boomer and Jerry, has Greggy back at .500 and atop the standings.
This week, it could all come down to Monday night, as each contestant is a dissenter on a different game, and everyone is on the Big Blue train. Will the Jets jinx Gio and Jerry?
First, the current standings (last week in parenthesis):
Gio: 20-20 (4-1)
Boomer: 17-23 (1-4)
Jerry: 14-26 (1-4)
Al: 13-27 (2-3) (0-8)
And now, Week 9 picks from B&G (and J), brought to you by Oddstrader.com, Solo Stove, and Prop Swap:
GAME 1: Bears at Titans (-6.5)
Gio: Bears
Boomer: Bears
Jerry: Titans
Gio's take: "The Bears are boring, they are not fun to watch, but they play close football games! The Titans have had their struggles, and I think they win, but this number is too much. I think they win by three or four, so I'm taking the Bears with the points."
GAME 2: Ravens at Colts (+1.5)
Gio: Ravens
Boomer: Colts
Jerry: Colts
Boomer's take: "I'm not as high as you are Gio, with this whole thing with the Baltimore offense, because when they get behind against good teams, they're in trouble. Ronnie Stanley is a big loss, so I'm taking the Colts in a prove-it game: they want to prove they're in the upper echelon of the NFL."
GAME 3: Dolphins at Cards (-4.5)
Gio: Cardinals
Boomer: Dolphins
Jerry: Cardinals
Jerry's take: "Tua gets picked off three times here, he looks like a mess, and people are looking for FitzMagic. Gimme the Cards minus the points."
GAME 4: NY Giants at Washington (-2.5)
Gio: NY Giants
Boomer: NY Giants
Jerry: NY Giants
Gio's take: "I just like the Giants! I've picked them every single week, and the one week I didn't pick them, I lost! The Giants already beat Washington – I know, just barely – but the only thing that matters is scoring more points than the other team."
GAME 5: NY Jets at Patriots (-7.5)
Gio: Patriots
Boomer: NY Jets
Jerry: Patriots
Boomer's take: "I will take the Jets with the spread, but the Patriots win the game. End of story."
