Sometimes when you pick the Las Vegas Raiders, no matter how bad the opponent, you pay a price. That’s not necessarily a new lesson from Week 14, but it was definitely top of mind as Baker freaking Mayfield led the Rams back in the fourth quarter to send us all to an 0-1 start to the week.
Most of us never recovered from there. Charles Curtis did, finishing the week with a 7-6 record (88-112-8 overall). Blake Schuster (81-91-8) and I (91-109-8) each went 5-8, and Caroline Darney went 4-9 (87-100-6).
Before we get into our Week 15 picks, here’s a word from the crew:
Blake: It turns out inadvertently picking only favorites against the spread isn’t a winning strategy. Who knew?
Caroline: I apologize for my embarrassing performance. I promise to try and get better.
Charles: A winning week from me?! Hey, look at us dot GIF.
