Famous in Our Own Minds Pick’em – Week 14
Another week, another reminder that Jay brings “consistency” to the table the way a toddler brings “help” to the kitchen. He went 1–2 again, officially making this a weekly tradition. Meanwhile, Jeff and Jack both went 3–0, which is so rare it should’ve come with commemorative coins.

Before we get to the picks, here is a look at the updated standings in the battle to be the best of the worst:
Jeff: 19-19-1
Jay: 18-21
Jack: 18-21
Jay’s Picks (Viewer Discretion Advised)
Washington at Minnesota UNDER 42.5
Jay still doesn’t trust JJ McCarthy—aka “9”—to score enough points to threaten this over. Even if Jayden Daniels returns, Jay says this one stays underwater.
Steelers at Ravens UNDER 42.5
Ravens-Steelers is always a rock fight. Lamar and A-Rod are playing but banged up, and with these defenses, Jay says this under is as safe as fading Jay himself.
Arizona +8 vs Rams
Arizona stinks. Jay stinks. But divisional home dogs bark, and he thinks the Cards keep this close enough to cover.
Jeff’s Picks (Currently Applying Pressure to the Throne)
Falcons +7 vs Seattle
Atlanta beat Buffalo in Atlanta, Jeff liked it, and he’s rolling with it. Also, Seattle’s QB is Sam Darnold, which makes Jeff feel even better about grabbing the points.
Bengals at Bills OVER 53.5
Joe Burrow is allergic to low-scoring games. The Bengals defense is allergic to getting off the field. Josh Allen is allergic to taking checkdowns. Jeff sees fireworks.
Rams at Cardinals UNDER 47.5
Not enough firepower in Arizona for this to get high-scoring. Jeff says this stays under without breaking a sweat.
Jack’s Picks (Coming Off a 3–0 Heater)
Vikings -1.5 vs Washington
Jack doesn’t buy the Manders going on the road and beating a tough Minnesota defense. Vikings by a field goal.
Colts +1.5 at Jacksonville
For the division lead. Rain possible. Colts run it better and Jack isn’t scared of Jacksonville. Indy grinds it out.
Titans at Browns OVER 33.5
This number is so low Jack refuses to take it seriously. He’s banking on turnovers and short fields.
Final score prediction: 20–14.
That’s 34 points, so the over hits and Jack gets to call himself a genius—and for once, the math actually agrees.
Another week, another chance for Jeff and Jack to keep rising—and for Jay to continue setting new records for the most fade-able human in America. Tune in next week to see if he can finally escape the 1–2 dungeon… or dig even deeper.
