Professional NFL Expert Picks - Week 10

Lost big last week? Then you're due this time around, fella.

Most print publications have experts picking NFL games every week. Pegasus News, however, is different, in that we have near-flawless methodology in picking teams that will actually win. Our panel of perfect prognosticators -- Todd Maternowski and Mike Bullock -- will bring the pain each and every week.

As an added bonus, we have included three competing methodologies. The first is the return of "Mascot War," in which we discuss which team's actual moniker would win in a pitched battle to the death in the wild. Besides being easily the most controversial aspect of this feature, it will probably also be a constant source of embarrassment as our picks routinely show up.

The second and third methodologies are perhaps equally arcane and mysterious to the average NFL fan. There is the "Occult Pick," in which our experts use the forbidden art of divination to predict each week's winner; and "Fashion War," in which Todd's wife selects each victor based on the relative superiority of each team's uniforms.

Most of these picks need no explanation: However, our panel has provided some commentary (footnotes and indexing to follow) for certain especially difficult-to-pick games.

Todd M: Bear versus 49er -- In this classic pitched battle to the death, geography means everything. On neutral ground, the 49er -- with his intimidating arsenal of pick, rope and flashlight -- should easily be able to startle and confuse the Bear: And there's nothing less dangerous than a startled and confused Bear. But this week's pitched battle to the death occurs on the 49er's home turf, i.e. deep in a mine shaft. Take that Bear, shine a flashlight in his eyes, and put him in a confined space ... and things don't seem so pleasant anymore for the decadent denizen of the dark depths. Bear over 49er
