TD’s NFL Expert Picks: Week 12
Every Friday during football season, TD’s panel of experts will release weekly NFL picks—with a twist. Beyond the four members of our in-house editorial staff, we’ll also get guest picks every week from a celebrity, athlete or fellow industry expert.
Last week, College Football on FOX host Kevin Frazier stopped by to tell us some stories from his NFL sideline days and give us his picks. Amazingly, he went 12-1 on NFL games, the best ever from any of our special guests. It was a big week for everyone, though—and Yaron became the first expert to crack 100 wins on the year.
This week, we got picks from the guys from numberFire, a sports analytics platform that uses algorithmic modeling to better understand sports.
Call them nerds, stat gurus, number crunchers or whatever else you like—bottom line, these bros know what they’re doing. You may have seen their work already at SLAMonline or on ESPN.com Insider.
For more from numberFire, including fantasy football advice and projections, hit them up on Twitter @numberFire or visit their website here.
The rest of TD’s NFL experts are:
Ben Osborne, Editor-In-Chief
Abe Schwadron, Online Editor
Adam Figman, Associate Editor
Yaron Weitzman, Associate Editor
