Are You Smarter Than an NFL "Expert"? - Page 2 - New England Patriots Forums

I did just better than Breer and just below Jaworski. Now consider that those of us "non-experts" have other jobs and responsibilities to tend to and therefore can't commit as much time and research to our picks...

I won my pick 'em league this year with 173 points.

I don't think guessing W's and L's proves very much. My family used to do a pickem pool where we'd pick the winner from every game during every week and found that even my Mom and grandma did just as well or better than some of the "experts". And they pick winners based on logos and team colors sometimes.

I don't see Shaughnessy on that list,...oh wait he's just an opinionated stiff, my bad.

Am in a couple of pools, and right now am about 165 correct.. it seems so simple, but a couple of bad weeks screws everything up..

And a bunch of brainy and reasonably cute Cheerleaders too! Haven't heard that in years. You had to be Course 6, right?

If you pick 201 or more right out of the 244 games played you win $1,000,000 dollars from the Sun

In thier pool last season, I picked 181 right for the season...so close,yet so far away

181 is pretty darn good. 201 would mean someone had 13 right more than half the time and no worse than 12 the rest of the weeks. Pretty tough to do when you consider the "Any Given Sunday" rule.

I went 171-85
