nfl picks
Tag details
Long before fantasy football, fans of the National Football League found a game within the game by picking which teams would win every week. Today the practice is still very popular, and every week office pool competitors who don't think they know much about football will seek out the advice of people who, at the very least, give the allusion of owning NFL insight.
BC Magazine's RJ Elliott has done weekly NFL picks since 2004, arguably one of the site's most highly trafficked in-season columns. Like many other NFL pickers and prognosticators, Elliott keeps a running tab of how often he's right and wrong every week. Also on BC, David Mazzotta's NFL Picks Of A Thoughtful Fool column delves more into statistic-based picks, fewer picks, and laying down pretend money on his bets.
Since anyone can do them, some — like Elliott — will compare his standings to those of ESPN's football analysts, who also make NFL picks every week and have their right-wrong statistics tabulated every year. The internal NFL picker's logic goes, "Hey, if I'm better at predicting game winners than the guys on TV, maybe I can do their job!"
