I shuffled them by pick and other categories.

Just to see if I could pick out any patterns.
Answer: Not really.

NFC team reporters seemed to favor Pats by a wider percentage than other categories - hmmm.
Because they saw the Rams in 2018 and weren't impressed?
Because they didn't see the Patriots in 2018 and just know the legend?

Three of the 4 NFC reporters to pick the Rams are from the NFC West.

Rams, Cards and Seahawks reporters pick Rams. 49er reporter picks Pats.
Pats, Bills, Jets reporters pick Pats. Dolphins reporter picks Rams.

Average Score by Pats predictors 31.4 to 26.6 Highest margin 14 pts
Average Score by Ram predictors 31.4 to 26.3 Highest margin 16 pts.
