Daily Norseman Staff NFL Picks, Week 12

The picks are in!

The picks are in for this week’s games, ladies and gentlemen, so now it’s time to take a look at who the guys that power your favorite Minnesota Vikings website are selecting in Week 12 around the NFL.

As always, we’ll start off with a look at how everyone did last week.

• Warren Ludford: 12-2 straight-up, 11-3 against the spread, 8-6 over/under
• GA Skol: 9-5 straight-up, 6-8 against the spread, 5-8 over/under
• Eric Thompson: 8-6 straight-up, 4-10 against the spread, 8-6 over/under
• Mark Pittman: 8-6 straight-up, 5-9 against the spread, 7-7 over/under
• Christopher Gates: 8-6 straight-up, 7-7 against the spread, 6-8 over/under
• Sam Buegler: 7-7 straight-up, 6-8 against the spread, 5-9 over/under

Yeah, Warren pretty much killed it last week, beating everyone in the straight-up selections by at least three games and in the spread picks by at least four. How well did he do? Here’s your answer.

Yep, that’s pretty damn good!

Here’s our widget to take a look at how everyone is going so far when it comes to the season-long picks. You can take a look at any of the categories that we pick each week for an individual week or for the entire year.

With that, it’s time to get into our picks for this week. As always, we remind you that everyone who makes picks for us might have different lines and numbers depending on when they made their selections.

There you have it, folks. Thirteen games on the schedule this week and we are in complete agreement on nine of them (and have already gotten one of them completely wrong). Is that good or bad? I guess we’ll find out in a day or two.

But, good or bad, those are our picks for this week, ladies and gentlemen. Who are you rolling with this week around the NFL?
