NFL Week 14: Staff Picks

Last week, everyone that submitted picks finished above .500, though a certain Superduperboltman only managed to do so by a single game. It was a relatively good week for road teams, so even Crean and Dana didn't lose too much ground both going 7-9 with their assigned picks.

Jeff continues to hold onto his narrow lead over yours truly largely on the strength of having gone back and changing his picks after they were locked in one week and my unwillingness to fix the record to reflect that, but this week looks like it could be a changing of the guard as I actually submitted picks that will hopefully out perform Jeff's assigned lot of away teams.

As for the actual games on the field that you guys might actually be inclined to care about, we all swung and missed on the 49ers last week, but otherwise had at least one staff member correctly select each other contest. In fairness, who among you saw the Rams winning that game ahead of time? None of you. That was quite the upset.

Who would need to win to shut us out this week? Either the Oakland Raiders or Carolina Panthers. The latter is actually reasonable. I originally selected them to win then changed my pick as it was risky enough to not want to potentially lose ground on everyone by being wrong. That's some Norv-level risk management, I know.

Anyway, only SDBM intentionally picked the Chargers to win this week, and I suspect he'll be wrong again. Tell us in the comments who you think will be wrong and what your picks are.
