Week 8 results. I went 39/62, 63%. Just because I had nothing better to do on Tuesday night, I also decided to look at Eisenberg’s picks for week 8 and see how I compared. Here are his results. 33/62, 53%. Now, what’s interesting is that of the 62 picks I made, just under half, 30, were players that Eisenberg also picked. And of those 30, only 5 ended up on the different side of the spreadsheet (start ‘em vs. sit ‘em). So of those 25 picks that we shared in common, 16 (64%) of them turned out to be good – 7 start ‘ems and 9 sit ‘ems. 7 of my 15 start ‘ems were shared by Eisenberg; 9 of my 24 sit ‘ems. So what this proves is that we used similar criteria to make our selections, especially in the case of a start ‘em. But I’m getting a bit ahead of myself. This will all be revealed in time. For now, here are my week 9 picks, modeled after Yahoo!’s Brad Evans from week 2. Of course, I already did this back in Week 3, but oh well. Deal with it.
