And down the stretch they come!
We are getting close to the end of the regular season, and the race among the guys who power your favorite Minnesota Vikings website to be the most accurate with their picks this season is still pretty close. Now, it’s time to take a look at who everyone’s got in Week 16 around the National Football League.
First, a quick look back at how everyone did last week.
- Warren Ludford: 14-2 straight-up, 13-3 against the spread, 7-9 over/under
- Sam Buegler: 13-3 straight-up, 12-4 against the spread, 8-8 over/under
- Eric Thompson: 13-3 straight-up, 7-9 against the spread, 9-7 over/under
- Mark Pittman: 12-4 straight-up, 7-8 against the spread, 8-7 over/under
- Christopher Gates: 11-5 straight-up, 8-8 against the spread, 8-8 over/under,
- GA Skol: 10-6 straight-up, 7-9 against the spread, 9-7 over/under
Sam and Warren both crushed it last week, both in the straight-up picks and against the spread. Everyone was well above .500 straight-up, which is making the race in that category more interesting.
Here’s our widget that shows how all of us have done through the season to this point. You can use it to look at individual weeks or the season as a whole in any of the three categories we pick each week.
With that, here are our selections for this week’s games. As always, we’ll take a moment to remind you that everyone’s point spreads and numbers might differ based on when they made their picks during the week.
