Time to put all the predictions down and see how these "experts" measure up. Last year ESPN Insiders Seth Wickersham proved his Insider-ness was worthy, while Mike Golic was right behind him.

Boldest Expert Predictions:
Peter King (SI): Packers over Eagles, Falcons over Vikings, Cardinals over 49ers
Merril Hoge (ESPN): Saints over Colts, Packers
Chris Mortensen (ESPN): Browns over Steelers
Mark Schlereth (ESPN): Bills over Broncos, Falcons, Panthers over Rams
Pete Prisco (CBS): Bills, Cardinals
Chris Carter (Yahoo): Saints, Panthers, Bills, Dolphins over Skins
Michael Silver (Yahoo): Titans over Jags, Cardinals

Does CF ever sleep?  Does anyone know?

 

What's up with Mortenson picking the Browns to beat the Steelers, am I missing something here?

Not a whole lot ;)

Mortensen apparently sleeps less if he's convinced of the Browns. I've chosen Pittsburgh in one of my suicide pools. I can't even consider one area of the game where the Browns have an advantage.

Passing Game: Steelers
Running Game: Steelers
Pass D: Steelers
Rush D: Steelers
Special Teams: Steelers
Coaching: Push

Homefield advantage I guess.  It must be worth about 9 pts these days.  You're being nice saying a push for coaching too. 

 

I know it's the first year for the Steelers staff but they Rooneys don't hire losers.
