A Season of Upsets: Yahoo Experts Picked the Wrong Teams in Week 1
In a shocking start to the NFL playoffs, several teams failed to live up to expectations. Our experts had predicted a high number of upsets, but it seems that many teams are proving them wrong. The Tennessee Titans, who were heavily favored to beat the Cincinnati Bengals, instead suffered a convincing 27-20 loss. The same was true for the Philadelphia Eagles, who lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by a score of 31-24. Our experts had predicted an Eagles victory, but it seems that the Bucs’ defense was too much for them.
