I gotta say, it is quite something to behold. I am quite certain I have never seen an instance where there was more optimism about a team coming off a loss about to face a team with a winning record. It's almost too much really.
I picked the Raiders to win this game in my preseason predictions (to some surprise actually) and have stuck with that pick. Here I was thinking I was going to be among the minority only to find out everyone else on the staff has the same prediction.
Having the 4-4 Raiders as a unanimous pick to beat the 6-2 Vikings would make more sense if Teddy Bridgewater were not playing. But it appears he will be good to go for the game and still has the league rushing leader Adrian Peterson behind him and a tough defense. Hopefully the Raiders aren't quite as confident as we are because even if the Raiders take this game, it won't be a cake walk.
As for last week, I came in with the top record for the week with all three of my incorrect picks being unanimous picks by the entire staff and probably about 98% of the football world. That'll teach us to underestimate Marcus Mariota and Blaine Gabbert.
After a week 9 leading 12-2 record, Tyler G fell back to earth with a thud and back to having the only losing record for the week.
This week we have plenty of across-the-board picks. Eight in total -- the Packers, Rams, Steelers, Panthers, Eagles, Raiders*, Broncos, and Bengals.
Here are all of our week 10 picks.
