2023 COAS Pigskin Pick 'Em: Week 12
The good news is I made a little dent in my deficit; the bad news is it was only a single game, as I took three of five from Adam. Joe, however, took four of seven from me, while he also took four of six from Adam. Adam's down week knocked him from first place in the group, though we all struggled a bit.
You can view how we've picked in relation to each other here. My hero numbers continue to improve as I hit on two of those for the second straight week, though Adam hit once again to continue his unsustainable (I will continue to say this in an effort to jinx him) pace.
I'm hopeful that what's historically been one of my better weeks serves me well again as we get a fine spread of football over the next several days. This week, I disagree with both Adam and Joe on nine games apiece; they disagree on eight out of sixteen.

2023 COAS Pigskin Pick 'Em: Week 11
We move onto another week of picking NFL games against the spread, and nothing significant was gained. Adam and I split our six disputed games, but I took three of five from Joe; Adam took two of three from him.
You can view how we've picked in relation to each other here. If nothing else, I managed to double my hero win output for the season.
As we move into Week 11, Adam and I disagree on five games, Joe and I on seven, and Joe and Adam on six games out of 14. Let's get to it!

2023 COAS Pigskin Pick 'Em: Week 10
Unfortunately, I'm at the bottom of the pecking order. Last week Adam swept our three disputed games because of course he did, Joe took four of five from me, and they split their four disputed games. As a result I have 18 games I somehow need to make up over the remaining nine weeks of the schedule.
That won't be easy if you look at how we've picked in relation to each other, given that Adam continues his ridiculous run on hero games while I've had a combination of bad luck and some flat out bad picks.
I'm contemplating a halftime adjustment this week, as Adam and I disagree on six games, Joe and I on five, and the two of them on three games out of 14. Let's get the second half underway!

2023 COAS Pigskin Pick 'Em: Week 9
This past week was an "improvement," if you can call it such. I overcame a horrid early slate to at least salvage a mediocre week, but it didn't stop Adam or Joe from taking five of seven disputed games with me, while they split their eight.
You can view how we've picked in comparison to each other here. Hero picks continue to be the story, as Adam split his two this past week to bring his success rate down to 17-6 on the campaign. Joe and I each picked up a hero win this week as well, in what I'm hoping means some regression to the mean in that department.
I'm contemplating pulling an Adam from the 2010's and going opposite week, but apparently there's no need as he and I only disagree on three games, Joe and I on five, and Joe and Adam on four games out of 14. Let's get to it!
