BLTD Pick 'Em Week 14

It is December, and y’all know what that means – playoff football is right around the bend!
For now though, we focus on the Better Live Than Dead Pick ‘Em, which happens to be sponsored by Fanduel.
After a very spirited group of games last week, things are almost a dead heat in the pick ’em standings.
Heading into Week 14, the standings are as follows:
Perez: 87-44
Ryan: 86-45 (1 GB)
John: 86-45 (1 GB)
With the slate of games this week, it doesn’t appear as if the deadlock will break itself.

The guys have agreed on the following winners: DAL, STL, NYG, NO, BAL, HOU, DET, IND, DEN, KC, SF, NE, and GB.
Minnesota Vikings vs. New York Jets
Perez and Ryan selected the Minnesota Vikings. John selected the New York Jets.
“I’m picking the Jets over the Vikings, simply because nobody else will,” John tells GERENetwork. “Even though I really think that Minnesota will win, as an NFC Packers fan, I do not want to see Minnesota win anything.”
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Perez and Ryan selected the Cincinnati Bengals. John selected the Pittsburgh Steelers.
“I selected Pittsburgh over Cincinnati because of, quite honestly, Andy “G” Dalton,” John said. “You never know which Andy you’ll get. More often than not, when games truly matter..he does not deliver. The Steelers average 417 yards per game, with the most of it coming from their rather elite passing game. Antonio Brown has 1,258 yards alone. The Bengals’ AJ Green and Mohammed Sanu have 1,424 COMBINED yards. The aging Steelers defense should hold the Bengals rushing game, and force Dalton to pass, which is when he will get flustered and make mistakes.”
Seattle Seahawks vs. Philadelphia Eagles
John and Ryan selected the Philadelphia Eagles. Perez selected the Seattle Seahawks.
“I thought about taking the Eagles, especially after what they did to Dallas on Thanksgiving Day,” Perez said on the Better Live Than Dead podcast. “Basically, I went with the Seahawks because of the Pete Carroll/Mark Sanchez connection. I think Seattle’s defense is much better on all cylinders, than Dallas’ defense is. I don’t think the Eagles will be able to stop Russell Wilson.”
