If not for a coin toss, this one would have been the ultimate sweep.
Every single one of the 42 analysts that comprise the Pickin' It panel have sided with the Panthers to win Sunday's home game against the Giants. The only thing on New York's side was a coin: SB Nation includes a coin toss pick each week that, at 36-27 on the season, entered Week 5 equal with or better than three of the website's seven panelists.
Through Carolina's first three games, the wisdom of the crowd has held up. But so has the coin toss, which also has gone 3-0. Something has to give.
