Which NFL Pundits Made The Least Terrible Predictions In Week 13? Grading ESPN, Yahoo, And CBS
Republished with permission from PunditTracker.com.
Here is how the NFL pundits from ESPN, Yahoo, and CBS Sports did with their Week 13 predictions. Chris Mortensen of ESPN posted the best performance, and as a result, toppled colleague Seth Wickersham for the season lead. Mortensen went 12-4 for the week, including several upsets such as the Chiefs over the Panthers, Seahawks over the Bears, and Redskins over the Giants. A slew of pundits were 11-5, including Keyshawn Johnson, who had struggled this season, and Mike Silver of Yahoo, who has consistently been a stellar performer.
Adam Schefter was the only one to pick the Rams over the 49ers, while only two pundits (Eric Allen and Ryan Wilson) had the Steelers beating the Ravens.
