Feature: NFL Picks

RJ's NFL Picks is a weekly feature during the NFL's regular season. Writer RJ Elliott offers his predictions for the coming week, including who will win each game and the expected margin of victory. He then compares his results against the self-proclaimed NFL "experts" over at ESPN. While RJ does not encourage using his picks to bet on games, readers who choose to do so are always welcome to share their winnings.
