The big winner in predictions last week, however, was the bro-in-law with a 14-2 mark on his picks. Next best was Jason Cole from the Yahoo experts at 13-3—a record that Ron Jaworski of the ESPN bunch likely would have had as well had he submitted a pick for Monday's Dallas victory, but instead Jaws finished at 12-3. ESPN's Adam Schefter joined me at 12-4 for the week, while his co-workers Mike Golic, Merril Hoge, Chris Mortensen and Seth Wickersham all finished 11-5—as did Yahoo's Charles Robinson and Michael Silver. ESPN's Mark Schlereth and Eric Allen both went 10-6, while poor Pete Prisco of CBS Sports once again came up last with his 9-7 set of predictions.
Now, on the year (numbers in parentheses indicating where the dude stood in the rankings last week):

Of course, the big news last week was that the Detroit Lions finally did win a game, so that certainly must mean that they will likely not be enjoying a season filled with being 16-point bets against them for the entire year (... maybe). Indeed, they'll have to find a different route to the top this season, while my bottom three just seems to be getting further entrenched into their securely held spots of suckdom:
