Starting this week, UCLAradio.com Sports Department members will take part in a weekly NFL Pick’em. For the football illiterate, Pick’em works by making “educated guesses” (or picks as we like to call them) on who will win. To make this a little more interesting, we’ll be selecting the week’s three best games and add two prop bets, i.e. over/under 6 sacks for NY Giants defense vs. 49ers). We’ll make our picks on the show and post them here before kick-off every Sunday. You can take part and see if you’re smarter than us “experts” by submitting your selections as as comment below!

More to come later. Stay tuned for more from the blog and the Sports Department!
