Once upon a time people may have jokingly referred to these two teams' nicknames and thought up something along the lines of the 'Bird Bowl' that ensues when the Cardinals/Ravens/Falcons/Eagles/Seahawks meet. Now? We'll probably not bother... Here's Pickwatch's guide to how the experts have picked this week's NFL matchups...
Kansas City @ Washington (1pm ET)
**Matchup Difficulty: 73.5% **(the higher the average score, the better the experts' success rate when picking these two teams. An average score is around 62%)

**Here at Pickwatch we're constantly striving to make it easier for you to work out which experts to trust for each team. Without further ado, let's give a debut to 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.
