Proof The Media Picks What Sells

It came to my attention this morning, thanks to astute SN member TheRock2020, that the media makes its picks based on what will sell:
The reason why the public made more accurate picks than the sportswriters is because the public makes selections based on what they really believe, as opposed to sportswriters, who make selections based on what sells best. That may be sad, but it is true.
Because I strive for journalistic integrity, I've gone through the trash bins here at Sporting News to find evidence and I believe I've got something that will blow the Matt Walsh tapes out of the water.

That's right, we're talking a high-level chart that documents how a company could've profited from the continued success of the Patriots. Mr. Specter, forget about Spygate; I've got your next investigation right here.
