I am not going to lie, but today is a lot like Christmas. Instead of avoiding MLB and the Titanic that is the Boston Red Sox, I get to plop my butt on the couch and start watching some football when the G-men take on the Cowboys.
To kick off this year’s NFL season, I am going to continue with last year’s tradition of using social media to predict this year’s weekly winners (click here for full methodology) against a group of friends who will use their own methodology to predict the weekly winners. Week 1’s opponent is Mike Pace, a super smart dude in customer support and social CRM who hails from the Deep South of Boston.
Here’s a video of this week’s picks:
NFL 2012 Week 1 Pick Breakdown
Pace: NYG, CHI, KC, PHI, NO, DET, NE, MIN, NYJ, HOU, SEA, GB, CAR, PIT, BAL, SD
Social Media: NYG, CHI, ATL, PHI, NO, DET, NE, MIN, BUF, MIA, ARI, GB, CAR, PIT, BAL, OAK
Do you think you could pick ‘em better? If so, let us know your picks in the comments below and be sure to check back each Thursday for the weekly picks.
