SPiN Expert Picks: Week 1

What exactly constitutes an "expert"? That is what we aim to debunk here on SPiN Expert Picks. Our select group of "anti-experts" -- a dog, a quarter, slips of paper inside a hat and a non-sports fan -- aim to put CBSSports.com NFL experts on notice ... for your weekly entertainment.

Introducing the SPiN "anti-experts"
Roland Liwag: As the SPiN Producer, my picks are based on information I have access to at CBS Sports.
SPiN Dog: I put two pieces of paper with team logos in front of my dog. Whatever logo she paws at is her pick.
Coin Toss: Home teams are heads and away teams are tails. I flip a quarter and the coin decides the winner.
Picking From Hat: I write team names on slips of paper, put it inside a hat, shuffle it and draw names.
Non-Sports Fan: I picked someone who knows nothing about sports. Her picks are 100 percent guesses.

The Sports Psychic: Guest expert for NFL Week 9. She went 7-7 against the spread.
The Baby: Guest expert for NFL Week 10. She went 12-2 against the spread.
Jennifer Walcott: Guest expert for NFL Week 13. She went 6-10 against the spread.
