Week 8 Circa Million Picks

I’m 18-17 through seven weeks, so I’d have to pick at better than an 80 percent clip the rest of the way to be in the hunt, i.e., I’m close to drawing dead in the overall contest. So from this point forward, I’ll post my leans, let them sit and not agonize much over my final picks at all. Who knows, maybe I’ll go on a nice run and snag a mid-season prize.

This week, I felt pretty clear on seven or eight games, which is rare — sometimes it’s hard just to come up with five. Just keep in mind that there’s not much correlation between pre-game clarity and post-game record.
