NFL Post-Season: Challenging the Experts

Are sports "experts" truly expert? Let's try to find out.

ESPN.com lists these 8 men as their football analysts: Joe Theisman, Sean Salisbury, Merril Hoge, Ron Jaworski, Mark Shlereth, Will Allen, Chris Mortensen, & Mike Golic.

All 8 have selected the Seattle Seahawks to defeat the Wahington Redskins.

6 out of 8 predict the New England Patriots will defeat the Denver Broncos. (Schlereth and Golic like the Broncos.)

6 our of 8 predict the Indianapolis Colts will defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers. (Hoge and Theisman like the Steelers.)

6 out of 8 predict the Carolina Panters will defeat the Chicago Bears. (Schlereth and Mortensen like the Bears.)

For fun, I will simply select the opposite of the expert consensus and see how I fair. This makes my teams Washington, Denver, Pittsburgh, and Chicago.

Also, I predict Tony Saragusa will act like a fucking idiot during the Fox Broadcast.
