Why Doesn't Jaws Pick The Monday Night Game?

[ACW]

It's the same thing with Herbstreit and the college games. He's calling the game, so he can't pick? What's up with that? :whoknows:

[Boss_Hogg]

because it may show a bias

Because you can't show bias towards a certain team if you call their game. Pretty basic really.

The same reason that Herbstreit does not pick the Saturday Night game

[ACW]

Because you can't show bias towards a certain team if you call their game. Pretty basic really.So saying who he thinks will win will cause him to be biased towards that team? C'mon man!

Yeah it seems kind of silly. Saying who you think will win doesn't mean you'll be biased to that team. But really who really cares who these guys pick they're wrong more than half the time anyway.

They want to appear toward the viewing audience as unbiased in their reporting of the game. I don't think this is any sort of rule, just a personal choice by Jaws.

Actually, I think it is a rule. Maybe it's an unwritten rule they follow. When Theisman worked for ESPN, he would submit his weekly picks for ever game except the Sunday Night game he was calling.
