What is the most egotistical exercise in sports? Picking NFL wins and losses publicly. Good thing I have a healthy ego and have gotten used to being wrong on a very regular basis. The beauty here is if I’m right, I will remind people of it for years to come and if I’m wrong, I will sweep it under the rug and never speak of it again.

I found the answers but I was surprised there was not much love for the Jets, none for the Pats and zero for the Giants.
