The guys’ picks are in. Following three straight weeks of no wins, maybe Vegas will be the site that get CJ, Greg and Eric in the win column. With how this season has started, no one saw this coming. So, two of them adapted on their picks this week and went a little more conservative with going with an array of sleepers to go with a few heavy hitter favorites. This way is to just get into the column and at the very least break even.
See, we each get $100 to wager on for every race. How you spend that money is how you make it. You just have to use all $100 and spread it around. In normal years, you could typically narrow the starting lineup down to 5-10 drivers and pick from there.
This year, we’ve had three different winners, all no one saw coming, which opens up that list to over half the field to choose from who could easily win. So, Greg and Eric adapted and went heavy with spreading their $100 on a lot of drivers. Eric went with 13 (!!) drivers this week with Greg taking 11.
CJ did the opposite and spent his money up top on the favorites, buying into this being the first week that we get back to some normalcy. He took six drivers.
