This is why your girlfriend beats you at Pick'Em (1 Viewer)

[MLBrandow]

If you picked the team with the better record to win every time, regardless of any other stat (using a tiebreaker of the home team), you would be:

Week1: 11-5

Week2: 7-9

Week3: 7-7

Week4: 8-6

Week5: 7-7

Week6: 11-3

Week7: 9-5

Week8: 9-5

Week9: 12-2

Week10: 11-3

Week11: 11-5

Week12: 13-3

Week13: 14-2

Week14: 10-6

Week15: 9-7

Week16: 8-8

Week17: 9-7

166-90 0.648

Also keep in mind teams that suffered season ending injuries and teams benching their players in the last week accounted for about a dozen gimme picks that you'd tell your girlfriend (picks that were like 97%+ consensus)

But I figured by that point in the season, you'd be trying to beat your girlfriend at pick'em, and therefore would not offer your invaluable fantasy advice to such a noble adversary.

Just some random expert picks from around the internet

De Los Santos 122-131-5

Brief summation of seemingly pointless study:

ESPN is a cable sports network, so they have some homers. (Your girlfriend beat about half of them)

Yahoo is an internet sports site, so they are surrounded by fantasy information all the time. (Your girlfriend is no match for the true fantasy football nerds).

CBS is a major broadcast network that happens to cover sports, therefore they are full of morons that have no idea what they are talking about. (Your girlfriend was easily able to smite down their would-be opposition).

Therefore, if you're in a pickle and can't decide who to pick on any given Sunday, always remember: Your girlfriend is a solid option.

 

[Peyton Marino]

I went 250-6.

 

[MLBrandow]

I went 250-6.

You're just jealous because she beat you hahaIt's okay... in the 7 or so weeks that I made picks (early to mid season and a couple of the last weeks), my adjusted scores made me something like 145-111... so I would rank up there with the CBS experts

 

[ooofffaaa]

So why don't you be a peach and tell us who she likes in the Super Bowl?

Who the #### cares what she did in the regular season.

 

[DA RAIDERS]

166-89, straight up no spreads. started off terrible & picked it up for the 2nd half of the season. best record in our league, 187-69.

Uhh, so you'd be basicaly asking her which team has the better record? If you didn't already know, and needed your girlfriend to tell you, maybe you shouldn't be making picks that week anyway.

 

[MLBrandow]

Yeah, the Seahawks are money!

I mean I didn't bother to look up the records of Super Bowl teams, but I'd venture a bet that the teams with better records were about 65% victorious as well.

Uh, how can you pick the team with the better record when every one is 0-0?

 

[Slinger]

Better record the previous year I'm guessing. Or better record in the preseason?

So how many of you lost to your girlfriends in pickem this year?

 

[RoarinSonoran]

My wife won't let me be in the same pickem leagues as my girlfriends.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

I went 178-78 this year which I would take any time.

Wouldn't you know it, one guy in my league still passed me the final week.
