NFL Expert picks: The writers make their picks after an awful Week 12

Week 12 was a brutal week for the writers. Only Alex pulled off a better than .500 week. I personally dumped a 5-11 one week after 13-1. Take a look at our picks for this week. Maybe we'll look smart again.

Jess Root: 108-68 (5-11) Saints, Bills, Bears, Lions, Packers, Panthers, Patriots, Cardinals, Niners, Texans, Broncos, Ravens, Browns, Chargers, Cowboys, Giants

Tyler Nickel :106-55 (8-8) Jets, Saints, Bears, Bills, Panthers, Patriots, Lions, Packers, 49ers, Texans, Broncos, Bengals, Raiders, Ravens, Cowboys, Giants

Alex Mann: 96-64 (9-7) New Orleans, Jacksonville, Chicago, Detroit, Green Bay, Carolina, New England, Arizona, San Francisco, Houston, Denver, Baltimore, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dallas, Washington

Skii: 101-59 (8-8) Atlanta, Houston, New England, Buffalo, Detroit, Carolina, Arizona, San Francisco, Green Bay, Chicago, Denver, San Diego, Cleveland, Baltimore, Dallas, New York Giants
