NFL picks: Hot is the new lukewarm
The heat eminating from our NFL picks is reaching such a feverish level that an 11-5 week by yours truely is no longer good enough to be termed hot by DON'T THINK standards. Nor is a 'run of the mill' 10-6 mark by Overton. The lingo, if you will, is changing.
Our boy Lingo, however, has dipped into frigid territory, relatively speaking of course.
