Pick Six (New Kiddie Version!)

The last two weeks I've gone a lukewarm .500 on my football picks and earlier this week remarked that a five-year-old could probably do as well. Well, I'm going to put it to the test. I enlisted my five-year-old daughter to make the picks this week. I chose the games...

The last two weeks I've gone a lukewarm .500 on my football picks and earlier this week remarked that a five-year-old could probably do as well.

Well, I'm going to put it to the test. I enlisted my five-year-old daughter to make the picks this week. I chose the games and when read each match-up she chose the team (or city name) she liked (quite decisively, I might add).

Here goes:

Miami at Cleveland (-4.5) Pick: Cleveland

Tennessee at Tampa Bay (-3) Pick: Tennessee

Washington at Green Bay (-3) Pick: Washington

New England (-5.5) at Dallas Pick: New England

New Orleans at Seattle (-6.5) Pick: New Orleans

NY Giants (-3.5) at Atlanta Pick: NY
