NFL “Expert”
Picks – Final Standings
Late Sunday night, the Titans
beat the Colts and with that, the 2007 NFL Regular season was complete. So was
the 2007 SethSpeaks.net NFL “Expert” Pick contest. And with that, we have a new
champion… Despite a final week comeback attempt by Stick & Ball Guy, Josh
Taylor is this year’s champion. Congratulation! Hopefully you will be able to
attempt to defend your crown next year. For me, it was certainly a humbling
year! Here are a few notes about the football picks:
