It appears that our week 7 trepidation was unfounded as the coin had another solid week. Well, I guess I use the word “solid” fairly loosely. Picking the outright winners last week, the coin went 7-7 bringing the season total to 54-51-2. Not stellar, but not losing…I’ll take not stellar over being in the red every time. Surprising to me, the coin went 8-5-1 against the spread (Tampa Bat/Cleveland was a push) bringing the season totals to 47-55-5. That made us +$30 for the week, but still keeps us -$80 for the season picking against the spread and +$30 overall on the season picking outright winners.
We made the week 8 picks prior to Thursday night’s game, and as you’ll see we’re already down 1 game against the spread. A reminder that a flip of heads is for the home team and a flip of tails is for the away team. Two separate flips for each game are needed. Our flips are in the spreadsheet below:
