Let’s do better. . .in my case, anyway.
It’s a bit later than we’d usually like to get it posted (for reasons that are entirely my fault), but it’s time to take a look at who the folks that power your favorite Minnesota Vikings website are picking in Week 2 action around the National. . .Football League.
First, let’s take a quick look at how everyone did last week.
- Sam Buegler: 13-3 straight-up, 10-6 against the spread, 7-8 over/under
- Silas Bobendrier: 12-4 straight-up (Silas forgot his spread and over/under picks last week but he’s got them for this week)
- Warren Ludford: 12-4 straight-up, 8-8 against the spread, 6-10 over/under
- Mark Pittman: 12-3 straight-up, 10-5 against the spread, 6-9 over/under
- Eric Thompson: 11-5 straight-up, 11-5 against the spread, 8-8 over/under
- GA Skol: 11-5 straight-up, 8-6 against the spread, 10-6 over/under
- Christopher Gates: 7-9 straight-up, 6-10 against the spread, 6-10 over/under
Hey, remember when I told you all last week that I had a bunch of picks that were going against the consensus and that would be either really good or really bad? Yeah, looks like that’s one prediction that I actually nailed. Nothing like putting yourself into a gigantic hole a week into the year.
With that, here are this week’s picks. Sam will have his pick for Seahawks/Patriots in before kickoff. We give you our usual disclaimer that the different lines and numbers might be different for different selectors based on when they put their picks into the system. For the latest on all of those sorts of things, you can check with our friends from FanDuel.
