Time to start the second half of the season!
Alright, folks! The second half of the season is officially underway, and it’s time to get this week’s picks from the guys who power your favorite Minnesota Vikings website as we roll into Week 10 of the 2024 NFL season.
First, here’s a look at how everyone did last week.
- Sam Buegler: 12-3 straight-up, 8-6 against the spread, 8-6 over/under
- Eric Thompson: 12-3 straight-up, 8-6 against the spread, 9-6 over/under
- GA Skol: 11-4 straight-up, 9-6 against the spread, 9-6 over/under
- Christopher Gates: 11-4 straight-up, 9-6 against the spread, 9-6 over/under
- Mark Pittman: 10-4 straight-up, 9-5 against the spread, 6-8 over/under
- Warren Ludford: 9-6 straight-up, 4-10 against the spread, 8-6 over/under
Overall a pretty solid week for everybody, for the most part. Four folks who were above water in all three categories, which I’m not sure if we’ve seen so far this year. Hopefully this positive trend continues.
With this being the halfway point of the season, here’s how each of us is faring in all three categories as we get into the second half of the year.

Relatively close races in all three categories for us as things stand right now, with ties at the top of both the straight-up and over/under picks. It should be an interesting race to see develop over the course of the next nine weeks.
