December 6, 2015, Queens, NY With five games left to the regular season, it would normally be easier to pick winners; however, with Jekyll & Hyde-itis spreading across the league, it’s hard to know which team will show up week-to-week, the good one or the bad one.
We have our usual (experts or suspects) giving their NFL Picks. Boston’s Own John Payant (J-Pay) and Hip-hop Icon Kool Moe Dee continue their personal rivalry as they have the most wins. Fox Sports broadcaster Mike Hill rebounded superbly last week to overtake his nemesis, Kool Moe Dee. Jerald Hoover stuck it to Vincent Davis (Vintertainment) walking away with the best record at 11-5. Vincent Davis is ready to take the chip.
M. Anthony Dennis (BronxBorn) was strong as per his usual. Bad Barry Holmes is probably the most dangerous of the bunch–and quickest to buck common sentiment. D-Day has proven to be a viable competitor who will always be in the mix to win it.
Our Elite 8 experts agree on only three of the games: Bengals-Browns, Panthers-Saints, and Eagles-Patriots. Kool Moe Dee is the lone holdout when it comes to Cowboys-Washington, going with his ‘Boys, and in the Cardinals-Rams game going with the Rams. Bad Barry Holmes‘ upset special is the 49ers over the Bears.
No two experts have the exact same picks. Somebody (or Some bodies) is going down. See their picks below.
