**I love a good purple matchup. Think about it, almost nowhere is purple as prominent as it is in sport. I can only think of one other purple thing in the whole world, and that's Grimace from McDonalds - and he may very well be dead. At any rate, he hasn't been seen in public for many years, along with the Hamburglar and those little Fry Kids (who are probably in fast food rehab).
Here's Pickwatch's guide to how the experts have picked this week's NFL matchups...**
Minnesota @ Baltimore (1pm ET)
**Matchup Difficulty: 57.5% **(the higher the average score, the better the experts' success rate when picking these two teams. An 'average' matchup would be 62%)
Consensus: **Baltimore 99%**
Top 5 Overall: **Baltimore 100%**
**Week 14 of the NFL season sees us debut our latest statistical breakdown, the 'Best Pick Index'.
The index takes the home and road records of each expert in every matchup and calculates who has the best record overall, before then allowing you to easily see who has picked each team.**
