Matthew Berry Sucks.

Here's one thing I just can't stand that happens EVERY WEEK: So called "experts" sitting there on TV making predictions about games/making general statements about how good or bad a team is based solely on their last week's performance. It's making me sick. How many times do you watch Sunday NFL Countdown while they're picking games, and the only reasons for their picks they're giving are "Yeah, Drew Brees passed for over 400 yds last week, so Saints are gonna win" or "Patriots dropped 52 on Buffalo Monday night, so this week, they're gonna drop 52 on Philly this week."

Teams have bad games. It's that simple. Moreover, really good teams seem to have really bad games against bad teams late in the season. This happens every year. I don't get why the experts don't predict this more often. If you look at the undefeated Dolphins of 72', most of their close games were late in the season against teams with bad-mediocre records.

Yeah, it may be hard to predict, but it looks so dumb when every single week you pick games based on how a team played last week. Every time Matt Berry comes on TV... their so called "fantasy expert," he's saying to start some guy just because he had a good last week. "Jamal Lewis went nuts with 4 tds last week, so he's a sure starter this week..." COME ON! Gimme a break! I'd just like to see some more in-depth analysis... that's all.
