The byes have started!
Ladies and gentlemen, we have reached the point of the week where the guys that power your favorite Minnesota Vikings website make their picks for the coming weekend of hot NFL action. Last week still wasn’t a great week for most of us, but hopefully the early season rust has been shaken off and we’ll all get going in the right direction here going forward.
Here’s a look at how everyone did last week:
- Mark Pittman: 10-6 straight-up, 7-7 against the spread, 8-8 over/under
- Christopher Gates: 10-6 straight-up, 9-7 against the spread, 9-7 over/under
- Eric Thompson: 9-7 straight-up, 10-5 against the spread, 7-8 over/under
- GA Skol: 9-7 straight-up, 8-8 against the spread, 7-9 over/under
- Sam Buegler: 9-7 straight-up, 6-10 against the spread, 9-7 over/under
- Warren Ludford: 7-9 straight-up, 5-9 against the spread, 11-5 over/under
As I said, not a great week, except for Warren continuing to nail over/under picks. A couple of us were over .500 in a few of the categories but not a truly great week for anyone making picks here in Week 4.
And now our widget that shows how everyone has done to this point. You can look back at last week, any other individual week, or the season to date.
Now, without any further ado, here are our selections for this week. As always, the lines and numbers may vary depending on when each individual selector punched their picks into the Tallysight system. For the latest, you can always check in with our friends at FanDuel. Also, this is the week that the byes start, so there are only 14 games this week instead of 16.

There you have it, folks. Not a lot of unanimous picks this week so we’ll have to see who has the best guessing skills for a lot of these games this week.
Those are our picks for this week in the National Football League, ladies and gentlemen. Who are you rolling with in Week 5?
