The New Orleans Saints know the dangers of being the popular pick to win a game. None of the network analysts sided with them on Sunday night a week ago, and the Saints embarrassed them all by demolishing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a near-shutout. So it’s good to see some outliers in this week’s survey.
Per NFL Pickwatch, 99% of NFL experts have picked the Saints to defeat the San Francisco 49ers, which isn’t the same as 100%. There are still a couple of islands of resistance out there angling for the 49ers to pull off an upset. And thank goodness, because unanimous picks for New Orleans would almost certainly spell bad news for them.
If the Green Bay Packers lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars, it will be because 100% of experts picked Green Bay over the 1-7 squad. Of course.
