Mac Daddy recommends taking a hiatus in Week 17 due to too many conflicting incentives. For more analysis see Mac Daddy’s post at IQ chart:
Mac Daddy will continue to enter his picks for the playoffs but will do so with low confidence. It is the regular season that matters which in now in the books.
It started with a bang but ended up mediocre, but if mediocre is what you get in a bad year that ain't so bad. The year finished 14-13. Although over .500, this is a losing record from a gamblers perspective, which is the rub after all. Not only do you have to be over .500 but you have to be so by enough to cover the juice. That is the bad news. The good news is that Mac Daddy recently revamped the system in a way which he believes will improve the performance over the long term and that system would have finished under .500.
If you want to have some fun in Week 17 I recommend staying in on new years and using the money you saved to buy something to entertain yourself, oh, and maybe a small parley on Seattle +3 and Green Bay -10. Seriously…. small.
