You can keep track of your record and see if you end up beating the experts...and of course, don't forget to watch This Week in Football every Tuesday during the NFL season on YES!
Week 9 saw our fifth near-perfect pick set, as only Indianapolis’ victory over Miami prevented TWIF host Ryan Ruocco from going 14-0. All four panelists were double-digit winners in Week 9, but Ruocco’s 13-1 record gave him the weekly win and tied him with Gary Myers (who went 10-4) atop the year-to-date standings as well.
Week 10 “officially” begins the second half of the season, as all 32 teams have now played at least eight games. The panel is unanimous on 11 of 14 games this week – including their picks of a Giants win in Cincinnati and a Jets loss in Seattle – and almost unanimous on two others, so Howard Cross (Minnesota) and Gary Myers (Philadelphia) will need their gambles to come through if they want to make some headway in the standings.
First, let’s take a look at those up-to-date standings…
WEEK 9 RECORD:
Ryan Ruocco: 13-1 (.929)
Howard Cross: 11-3 (.786)
Gary Myers: 10-4 (.714)
Ross Tucker: 10-4 (.714)
SEASON TO DATE RECORDS:
Ryan Ruocco: 89-43 (.674)
Gary Myers: 89-43 (.674)
Howard Cross: 83-49 (.629)
Ross Tucker: 80-52 (.606)
