The end is near
Jazz: The regular season grinds to either a depressing or anxiety filled finish today. (Depending on whether you’re a Jets fan or a Steelers fan.) Last week brought me a ray of sunshine as I tied my best performance of the season, going 6-1 for a regular season total of 67-45. Ed already mailed me a regular season trophy in the form of a steel cup. It’s not engraved with anything to do with our contest, but I was able to mix a martini in it. Next week, however, the slate is wiped clean and we start the post-season competition. Can I win both for the first time in the history of our game? Let’s just say I’m not betting the ranch on it.
Ed: And so my season — and Pittsburgh’s — comes down to this: can we both stay above .500 for 2018? After a 2-5 week, I’m now at 58-54. As long as I get two picks correct this week, I can at least avoid going underwater for the season. By the way, in case I lose the playoff rounds too, the package I sent Jazz had two steel cups. I’m nothing if not prepared.
Jazz: The Jets traipse off to New England to face the Patriots (1:00 pm, CBS) in the dismal conclusion to a generally dismal season.
