Paul's Picks Week 8
Welcome Back! I had another mediocre week, going 37-15, a winning percentage of 71.2%. There are 59 games this week, just a few more than last week, so I sure hope I do a lot better. Games are much harder to predict now that we have moved into conference play, where there are all these rivalries. Overall, I am 354-107, a percentage of 76.8%, and a decrease of 0.7% from last week. I'm below 80% overall, and won't get back there, but I can still reach my "realistic" goal of 75%. So far, I am a woeful 2-3 after the early games. Surely it can't get worse. Can it?
