Us Versus the "Experts"
This week, I added links to four sports websites (look to the right) that include NFL picks by their various writers and personalities (USA Today, CBS, Yahoo!, ESPN). If those guys were members of our pool, what would the standings look like? See below.

Jonathan - you need to update John's points under his picture on each of these pages....he has more than 65 points -
Anybody with under 26 wrong after 6 weeks is impressive.
I noticed that Mike Golic (ESPN)is doing well this year - he is an offensive line guy. He seems to have a good handle on what teams are struggling to create run plays and hold up long enough to pass protect. He knows when an injury will cause a team trouble. If a team can keep its offense on the field even if they struggle in red zone a little they often still win games.
Judging from some of the games this year it might be time to listen to his picks.
Nate Davis (USA Today)is like the John of expert pics and plays it safe every week. I think he finished first or second over there every year. If you are not sure about a game just pick with Nate and you probably won't lose ground.
Adam Schefter (ESPN) has been known to pick underdogs when nobody else does. He picks the smart underdogs that are due to win and most of his correct picks would be loners in our pool that we would be too scared to take. I often wonder if his inside knowledge of the locker room and practices is giving him an insight others dont have. If you have a hunch and Schefter is agreeing its a good sign. He never wins the pool but he places in the top 30%.
Jonathan you should add the NBC picks to this list (NBC Sports Pro football) and the FOX ones if you can find them (Adam Schein et al)
You seem to have created 10 extra losses for Mike Silver.
I guess 71-19 seemed too good to be true.
Patrick, I looked for the NBC and Fox picks, but they don't appear to have a page devoted to picks like the other sports sites do.
