Which NFL Pundits Made The Worst Picks In Week 14? 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 14 predictions. Eric Allen, who was ranked last among the group coming into this week, turned in the best performance with a $1.39 Yield. Allen went 12-4 with his picks and was the only one to predict the Eagles to upset the Bucs. All the pundits struck out on the Steelers-Chargers and Falcons-Panthers games.
This was yet another week where picking the underdogs paid off ($1.15 yield). As such, the Vegas Favorites have now sunk to the bottom of our season rankings, while Seth Wickersham and Chris Mortensen are now tied for the lead.
