An up-and-down week for much of the staff in Week 13 did little to alter the standings. With four weeks left in the regular season, our writers are still playing catch-up to you guys, the readers and voters.
Be sure to vote on all the matchups this weekend in the polls below!
Updated standings:
1) BB readers 126-66
2) Vasilis 122-70
3) Frank 114-78
4) Kyle 113-79
5) Jake 111-81
Unanimous selections
All of our writers were in consensus on the following picks:
After a tough loss to the Seahawks this past Monday, our writers envision the Vikings bouncing back in a favorable matchup against the Lions. Same goes for the Texans, who are playing the Broncos after a convincing victory over the Patriots.
Elsewhere, the team sees the Ravens continuing to roll against a streaking Buffalo squad, led by an improved Josh Allen. The Packers are heavy favorites to defeat the Redskins, as are the Eagles in their MNF matchup against the Giants. Our writers are going chalk on both of these games across the board.
“Lone Wolf”
The following writers veered from the norm with these picks:
- Jake is the only staff member to pick the Bears over the Cowboys
- Jakob is alone in picking the Dolphins to upset the Jets
- Dustin is rolling with the Bengals over the Browns in an AFC North showdown
In a Thursday night showdown, Jake is by himself in choosing the Bears to handle the Cowboys at home. Dallas is coming off a disappointing defeat at the hands of the Bills, who they lost to on thanksgiving.
Jakob went out on a limb in picking the Dolphins to beat the Jets, although the former is coming off an upset victory over the Eagles, while the latter just handed the Bengals their first win of the season in Week 14.
