Brand J Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 7 out of 8 "experts" pick a winless team to win their upcoming NFL game... Thoughts? ESPN "Expert" Picks

ACor58 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/features/talent 7 out of 8 ESPN "experts" pick Lions to get their first win this wee In a related news, ESPN still insists all Bills draft picks are reaches and Levy is too old to be a GM. 803581[/snapback] Make that 8 of 9, as Greenberg picked against the Bills too. On a side note, so far that stupid piece sh-- Schlereth has prediticed that we would be 0-6 since he has not picked us once this year.
MattyT Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I think all but one of these "experts" will be wrong. Well, I'll be listening extra carefully during Sunday Morning Countdown to hear what their justification could possibly be.
Pete Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Make that 8 of 9, as Greenberg picked against the Bills too. 803587[/snapback] !@#$ing Dolphin !@#$! Yeah he is objective when it comes to the Bills
VABills Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Make that 8 of 9, as Greenberg picked against the Bills too. On a side note, so far that stupid piece sh-- Schlereth has prediticed that we would be 0-6 since he has not picked us once this year. 803587[/snapback] And the sad thing is, he's been right more often than wrong. Means he is 3-2.
Bungee Jumper Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I think all but one of these "experts" will be wrong. Well, I'll be listening extra carefully during Sunday Morning Countdown to hear what their justification could possibly be. 803588[/snapback] Probably how the Bills were "exposed" as a bad team by Chicago... Though really...no matter how bad Detriot is, I'm always a little hesitant when the Bills play them in Detroit.

syhuang Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 Many of the ESPN readers don't agree with their experts though. http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/sportsnation...g?event_id=2497

BuffaloWings Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I think all but one of these "experts" will be wrong. Well, I'll be listening extra carefully during Sunday Morning Countdown to hear what their justification could possibly be. 803588[/snapback] About the only justification I can think of right now is that some of these winless teams will eventually win a game. Usually around week 6 or 7, I'll start picking a 0-win team....law of averages says they'll win *sometime* and I don't remember the last time the NFL had an 0-16 team. That said, I'd still pick the Bills this week.

ch19079 Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 we did get destroyed by the bears last week. but with all thier injuries on the O-line and others, i dont see detroit winning. but like always... any given sunday...

He also has a neck injury. http://highlightreel.blogs.mlive.com/default.asp?item=221004 Q: What is up with Roy Williams? A: He's been taking care of personal issues. They don't know where he is. They've talked to him, and he says he'll play. Until they actually see him, they won't know for sure. He says he will play.
MDH Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I'm not sure what the big deal is here. If the "experts" want to end up with decent records at the end of the season the smart pick is to take the home team when two mediocre/bad teams play one another. You'll be right more often than not.
loadofmularkey Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 I really can't believe how sensitive everyone is around here when it comes to the media/ESPN. You'd think this was the early 90s team.
