Final Week of NFL Regular Season Proves Difficult for Handicappers

The final week of the regular season was full of surprises and upsets, causing more losses for our handicappers than usual. However, this didn’t stop them from bringing home a handsome profit. It also caused a tighter race for the top of the leaderboard, which went to a new face for the first time this season.

Here is our recap of expert pickers from week 18 of NFL action:
