I have to find out more regarding injuries for Miami. What a crapfest this year is.

[Jedi Master Carr]

Well the Bills have played horrible lately, although the game is in Buffalo. It could depend on the weather.

Thursday, Dec 15
JAX @ ATL WIN - Cakewalk for the Falcons at home.

Saturday, Dec 17
DAL WIN @ TB - Tampa's in a tailspin, so unless Cowboys employ FORCE LOSING powers....

Sunday, Dec 18
CIN WIN @ STL - Just the cushion the Bengals need to stop a three-game skid.
GB WIN @ KC - Needs no comment.
CAR @ HOU WIN - T.J. Yates can ball, the Panthers' defense can't. May still be a gut check game for an embattled Texans team.
NO WIN @ MIN - The Saints have to be eying that first-round bye.
SEA WIN @ CHI - Could go either way. All depends on what kind of day T. Jax and The Beast have.
WAS @ NYG WIN - The Giants may have found something in Dallas last week.
TEN WIN @ IND - The Colts have a chance of winning. Just not a very good one.
MIA @ BUF WIN - Hard to call, but if the Dolphins don't have Matt Moore, they're in trouble.

DET WIN @ OAK - Who gets ejected first, Richard Seymour or Ndamukong Suh?
NYJ WIN @ PHI - The Eagles keep doing the opposite of what I pick, and I'd rather the Jets lose, so...
CLE @ ARI WIN - Arizona has more weapons than Cleveland.
NE WIN @ DEN - I would be thrilled to be wrong.

BAL WIN @ SD - I would be even thrilleder.

Monday, Dec 19
PIT WIN @ SF - Heart vs. head pick here... the Steelers are banged up, even if they've had a ten-day rest coming into San Francisco, and the 49ers have been making an impact as a physically dominant team. But these Steelers have done incredible things in the past when their backs have been against the wall. My main hope is no more injuries, but I won't pick against the Steelers as long as Ben is under center.

[Aurelias Kazaar]

ATL wins.

What no one talking Sam Hurd's arrest on federal drug charges? Wanted ten kilos of coke and a thousand pounds of marijuana.

[Morgan Evanar]

Hadn't had a chance to look at any news till just now. Whoa.

[Dragon]

What no one talking Sam Hurd's arrest on federal drug charges? Wanted ten kilos of coke and a thousand pounds of marijuana.

He asked the narc agent for ten kilos of cocaine and half a ton of marijuana A WEEK (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d825129c0/article/bears-wr-hurd-facing-federal-drug-charges-after-arrest?module=HP11_headline_stack). I'm no expert, but that doesn't sound like a little something to share with his friends. Thank goodness they nailed him before he could help ruin hundreds of lives in addition to his own.

[Nathanial K'cansce]

Crap, missed Thursday's. Would have picked ATL.

Missed the first two games again, both are obvious choics who was going to win but still missed them, too much going on in the real world and these non-sunday games tend to fall below my radar until its too late.

I had to leave for a while this morning, so I just got home and turned on the CIN-STL game. Watching the ticker at the bottom of the screen, I can see that the Grinch is stealing most of my damn picks for this morning. :shakefist

Merry Christmas JMC. ;)

And a Merry Christmas to Indy who has their first win of the season.

[Morgan Evanar]

Indy wins, GB loses. Huh.

LOL I didn't think they could win the game. They sure played great, probably should have fired Haley earlier. Also, Drew Brees need 301 yards to pass Dan Marino. He should do that without a problem next week. The packers do look vulnerable. I still think the Saints could knock them off in the playoffs.

[Kyran O'Hurn]

this is going to be a rough weeks for picks... And kicking myself cause I wanted to pick a few of the "upset" picks in the first half but just couldn't bring myself to do it...

[Jedi Master Carr]

I wish I had picked the Chiefs, but oh well didn't think they could pull it off.

[Figrin D'an]

Packers played probably their worst game since last Thanksgiving. The defense actually played okay for much of the game, but the offense was completely out of sync. Lots of drops, Rodgers never looked comfortable with the timing. Seems like they just were flat for this game while the Chiefs were jacked up and ready.

I don't know that I would call the Packers more "vulnerable" after today than any time previously. They simply played poorly, and they got beaten by another professional team with a lot of pride. They are still the best team in the league right now, IMO, and it's really not that close. If Green Bay plays its "A" game, I still feel they're pretty much unbeatable. The challenge is playing like that every week. I fully expect them to come out the next two weeks, demolish Chicago and at least get the starters solid work against Detroit.

At least there will be no more silliness and obsessive media hype about a perfect season. The pressure is off, it's now about preparing for the playoffs and trying win another championship.

The big problem for the Packers is the OL. They lost two OLmen today. If their OL aren't healthy, they are very beatable.
As for the late games. the Pats are rolling over the Broncos. The Broncos defense sure don't look that great. If they get in the playoffs I can't see them beating the Steelers or Ravens. The Lions got a big win to keep their playoff hope alive.

[Morgan Evanar]

Yesssssss. Yessssssssssssss. Feel the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Darth Bradus and Lord Bellichith have decimated the upstarts.

[Jedi Master Carr]

LOL NE was just too much for them. Now I need to hope for the Bills to beat them next week. The Chiefs can win the division by winning out and the Broncos losing to the Bills. Probably need to hope for a foot of snow.

[Jedi Master Carr]

The Niners were very impressive last night. I wish I had picked them. Harbuagh should be coach of the year with the job he has done this year. The Steelers have some issues with Ben. I think they should sit him against the Rams. I am sure they can beat them with Charlie Batch.

I have no idea how I ended up 10-6 after seeing some of the early scores of the Sunday afternoon games. Really glad some of them decided to make come backs.
