NFL picks: It's all Over(ton)
It's not really over, I'm just being dramatic because I lost EVERY SINGLE ONE of my playoff picks last week. Overton, who entered the playoffs with a five-game lead on Lingo and six-game lead on me, went 3-1. Lingo was a respectable 2-2, but didn't take advantage of the point system with which we weighted our picks, winning only his one- and two-point picks. Overton won his four-, three- and one-point picks.
Last week
Overton: 8-2
Lingo: 3-7
Clay: 0-10
Playoff standings
Overton: 14-2
Lingo: 4-7
Clay: 0-10
We'll weight the picks this week with the same system we used last week: 4 points for the pick in which we're most confident, three for the next most confident, etc. Here are this week's picks with the home teams in caps.
Clay's picks
4 DALLAS (-7.5) over N.Y. Giants
3 Jacksonville (+13.5) over NEW ENGLAND
2 INDIANAPOLIS (-9.5) over San Diego
1 GREEN BAY (-7.5) over Seattle
