Last week, let’s just say, was a rough one for the people who participated in the weekly NFL pick ’em contest. Here are just a few of the amusing results to make you feel a little better about picking the wrong team.
14% of people picked the Seattle Seahawks to defeat the Green Bay Packers
7% of people picked the Kansas City Chiefs to defeat the New Orleans Saints, sending the Saints to an 0-3 start
14% of people picked the Cincinnati Bengals to defeat RGIII and the Washington Redskins
And finally, only 7% of people chose the Jacksonville Jaguars to come into Indianapolis and defeat the Colts
This week, we have added a new twist to the contest: If you dare, enter your name at the top of the survey. After each week, we will reveal the best and worst picks. We have chosen what we believe to be the nine most challenging games to choose from, enjoy:
My picks for the games listed:
Atlanta over Carolina: I think Matt Ryan and the high-flying Falcons offense will continue to dominate and will expose Cam Newton even more.
New England over Buffalo: I just don’t think there is any way that Tom Brady let’s his team lose three consecutive games. Plus, for the sake of my fantasy team, Wes Welker needs to step up and I think he will.
Kansas City over San Diego: I’ve never been a huge San Diego fan, especially in September, and I think the Chiefs will ride the momentum from their win over New Orleans to a victory.
San Francisco over New York Jets: The Jets are going to fall apart very quickly without superstar cornerback Darrelle Revis
Green Bay over New Orleans: If anybody predicted the Saints to be 0-3 after week 3, they deserve a pat on the back. I think that Aaron Rodgers and friends will send them to 0-4, especially after their controversial loss to Seattle
Washington over Tampa Bay: RGIII will redeem himself with an impressive performance on the road, and the likely return of receiver Pierre Garcon will surely help.
New York Giants over Philadelphia: Michael Vick will continue to throw interceptions and fumble, destroying the Eagles and my fantasy team in the process.
Chicago over Dallas: The only quarterback that I trust less than Jay Cutler is Tony Romo.
Minnesota over Detroit: Still not sure how Minnesota managed to beat San Francisco last week…
