We have our Week 4 NFL picks, and Mia Khalifa isn’t ready to give up her lead.

The NFL is a ridiculous place. Last week, we all thought that the Buffalo Bills would get crushed. Nobody could believe that the Los Angeles Rams would go into Tampa Bay and beat the Buccaneers. Then, both of those outcomes were the exact opposite of what we expected, and everyone ended up with egg on their faces.

However, we have all kept our overall records above .500, which is a minor victory. The only person who hasn’t managed even that small measure of decency is Matt Verderame, who is the NFL expert at this company. At what point do we just call Verderame and his rancid record a sunk cost?

Here are the team’s picks for Week 4:

As you can see, we all think that the Detroit Lions are going to hammer the Chicago Bears, even if the game is in the Windy City. Another unanimous pick is the Washington Redskins, whoa re at home against the Cleveland Browns. Lastly, nobody believes that Rex Ryan is pulling the upset in Foxborough against Bill Belichick.

Nobody is playing the role of lone wolf in any of these games, with at least every team being picked twice sans the aforementioned sweeps.

Go ahead and let us know in the comments why we are stooges.
