Pick 'em Week 2 recap

With 11 games to pick this week Captain Obvious and I solidified our leads over the others, although I dropped back one spot. Picking Hickory and Bandys to win didn't hurt much. Everybody expected Hickory to win and almost everybody thought Bandys would get it done against East Lincoln. Douche Bigelow was the blind squirrel who found the proverbial nut on that one when he went with the Mustangs.

I also went against my instincts when I picked East Burke to beat Greenville Southside. When in doubt it's always safer to pick the SC team to beat the NC, sad to say. But it was a conservative call since everybody else picked East Burke as well. No harm, no foul there.

The game where I went out on a limb was picking Mitchell County to beat McDowell County up in Spruce Pine. Captain Obvious went with the group in picking McDowell and that's the difference in our records for the time being.

It will be interesting to see just how many hyper-sensitive idiots pick against Hickory next week in the wake of our loss to Statesville...

Here is the leader board after Week 2:

1. Captain Obvious (16-5)
2. G&G (15-6)
3. Douche Bigelow (14-7)
4. Who? (13-8)
5. Jabba the Hut (11-10)
6. Bias the Clown (11-10)
