A late charge from @Twisted.

 

[Moxie]

I got a nice bump for my sentimental pick of the Saints. Laissez les bons temps roulez!

 

[DarthFed]

It's going to be too little too late for me. I'm just happy about yesterday, the Packers got a lot of help and they hung on despite the retarded coaching staff pissing away a 17 point 4th quarter lead with prevent defense. Rodgers is keeping the bums employed for yet another year, that pass was 70 yards on a dime to Nelson to win the game, just plain sick. Now they control their own destiny and Rodgers seems back to being "Rodgers". If they get in the playoffs they truly are dangerous but it'd be a very difficult path (Giants at home then @ Dallas and @ Seattle in some order. And it's impossible to win a SB when you have a defense as bad as GB, it's not going to happen but at least they are bringing some excitement, especially if they get in.

A late charge from @Twisted.

Yeah he is sneaky, it seems. Now I have to worry about him too.

Are you going to pick games for this Sunday, @britbox ?

 

[DarthFed]

Yes, I've been hibernating for the first 14 weeks but now I'm all business!

All joking aside I usually have a better feel for the games/teams than I have this year. It really has been a year of parity with only a couple great teams bunched in with a lot of up and down teams.

 

[DarthFed]

Also, the vast majority of games this week are on Saturday since it is Christmas Eve. Given that, I will pick 7 games for Saturday: @britbox @Billie @Moxie @Carol

Dolphins @ Bills - Going with Bills here.
Vikings @ Packers - It's a division game, Minny coming in off a disaster and the Packers and ARod are hot. I do think they'll win but it could be a close one.
Falcons @ Panthers - Falcons
Bucs @ Saints - Bucs
Colts @ Raiders - Colts, it's desperation and they are dangerous. Also I know the rest will pick Oakland...strategy
Redskins @ Bears - Redskins
Bengals @ Texans - Texans

 

[Billie]

Thanks for stepping in @Twisted and correcting me. yeah most games are on Saturday, hopefully others will notice this and select their picks before they start.

Dolphins @ Bills ------------------------ Bills
Vikings @ Packers --------------------- Packers
Falcons @ Panthers ------------------- Falcons
Bucs @ Saints --------------------------- Saints
Colts @ Raiders ------------------------- Raiders
Redskins @ Bears ---------------------- Redskins
Bengals @ Texans ----------------------Texans

 

[DarthFed]

Giants losing at Philly tonight is a very bad result for the Packers. Dallas just clinched the #1 and won't have anything to play for on Monday against the Lions. The Lions chances in that game just went from heavy underdog to possibly being the favorites. GB definitely needs to take care of Minny on Saturday.

Terrible luck for Oakland. Carr broke his fibula . Oakland still has a good chance at the 2 seed but that really sucks.

Absolutely gutted about Carr... Really puts a massive dent in Oakland's chances going forward. Not too high on McGloin coming in but hopefully he can write his own story. Lot more focus on the run game I think and the D. is really going to have to step up.

Probably better it happened this week than next week though. Denver might still be a live opponent next week if they beat the Chiefs on Sunday and it will be good to see how McGloin copes against an opponent in elimination mode at the bear pit of Mile High.

Moxie storms into bronze medal contention and might make the podium with one week to go. The championship is now a two horse race with Billie still leading.

 

[DarthFed]

They need KC to lose 1 of their last 2 because they aren't winning in Denver. Then they get the bye and a home game so who knows what will happen. As the #2 seed they likely would face the Steelers in round 2

 

[britbox]

Well, the Raiders may need to win in Denver to take the AFC West. Even without Carr, I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that they lose. KC also need to beat the Chargers, who aren't as bad as their record suggests.

 

[DarthFed]

^ I agree. I kind of jumped the gun without thinking about it. The Raiders obviously will have a lot to play for while Denver doesn't. In fact if Denver is smart they lose the game and get a better draft pick. The other part of it is Denver is playing terrible right now, it appears Kubiak has completely lost the team. New England @ Miami is probably going to be an easier game for the Pats than it would have been if Miami hadn't already qualified. However I do think it's possible for Miami to get the 5 seed if they win and KC loses and that's a big deal because it means playing @ Houston instead of @ Pittsburgh in round 1

 

[Billie]

That was just terrible what happened to Carr. Luckily I didn't see it and don't intend to as I am told it wasn't pretty.

Darn Bills, if they could have hanged on for 1:20 they would have probably sealed this for me. LOL This way, it is still open. Although I might wait and see what BB picks for next Sunday. That is the last regular week, right?
