November 24, 2016, Queens, NY For the third straight week, there was no outright winner. Barry Holmes, for the second straight week, shared the leader board with Boston’s Own John Payant (J-Pay). J-Pay has been the dominant player this season. Holmes and J-Pay posted a respectable 9-5 record in their NFL Picks for Week 11.
Hip-hop icon Kool Moe Dee and Amsterdam News sports writer Vincent Davis came in at 8-6. Moe Dee hasn’t won or tied for first place since Week 8 when he picked correctly 11 out of 14 games.
M. Anthony Dennis (BronxBorn) was 7-7 and continues to remain in top contention every week. Fox Sports’ Mike Hill and PureSportsNY’s Editor-in-Chief Jerald Hoover tied at 6-8 with their picks.
The NFL continues to be an intriguing league where the phrase “Any Given Sunday” is consistent with what is actually happening week to week.
Beginning Week 12, all the teams will be playing every week which means we should see more double-digit win-loss picks. There will be some “surprise” experts added to the mix this week making for an even more entertaining yet intense competition.
