As enter the second half of the season, the standings in our Baltimore Beatdown pick’em have largely remained the same. The biggest change this week, though, is Vasilis jumping the readers for the No. 1 spot after a 10-4 showing in Week 9. Elsewhere, Taylor, Kyle and Frank continue to round out the Top-5.
Updated standings
1) Vasilis: 91-44
2) Baltimore Beatdown Readers: 88-47
3) Taylor: 87-48
4) Kyle B: 85-50
5) Frank: 83-52
Unanimous Selections
There were quite a few consensus winners this week:
Following a big victory over the Patriots, our staff doesn’t see the Ravens succumbing to a trap game against the Bengals. They also don’t envision Kyle Allen and Christian McCaffrey toppling the Packers on the road.
The Saints are all but a shoe-in to handle business against the 1-7 Falcons, even though they’re set to get Matt Ryan back from injury. Another team getting their quarterback back from injury is the Chiefs, who all of our writers picked to beat the Titans in Tennessee.
Elsewhere, nobody thinks the Dolphins will win their second consecutive game after beating the Jets last week. With or without Jacoby Brissett, the Colts are a talented team.
“Lone Wolf”
Once again, there’s only one writer breaking the norm this week. This time, it’s Adrian taking the Steelers over the Rams at home.
“Flip a coin”
