So we post the picks on our web site on Sunday morning, with the competition having already started for Jay (1-0) and Ponzo (1-1), both of whom picked Thanksgiving-Day games. Ponzo is all about taking any chance he can as he struggles to get anywhere near .500, and he needs a miraculous run to do so. As for Jay, a 3-0 week can get him back to .500 on the year.
As for Ian Beckles, he can go 0-3 and still maintain -- at the very least -- an eight-game lead over Jay. And it seems just like the Birthday Challenge, this one is wrapped up early, but conversely, for Ian.
Posted below are Beckles & Recher's best bets for week 11 of the NFL season, which we remind you are for entertainment purposes only; NO WAGERING! ;-)
