Adam Schefter, who has been toiling at the bottom of the season standings, bounced back in Week 11, going 12-3 with a $1.30 Yield. He was one of only three pundits to pick the Bills over the Jets, one of five to pick the Dolphins over the Chargers, and one of six to pick the Steelers over the Lions. The best pick of the week belonged to Josh Katzowitz, the only expert to pick the Raiders to beat the Texans. It was a very good week for the favorites ($1.13 yield); only four of the 27 pundits topped this figure.
For the season, Ron Jaworski maintains a narrow yield over the Keyshawn Johnson and Tom Jackson despite posting a subpar week ($0.90). With Schefter escaping the cellar with his strong Week 1 performance, Eric Allen and Les Carpenter now find themselves at the bottom of the standings.
