Insane week... so many things that looked to be for sure went flying out the window... the Lions *beat* Green Bay!

Cleveland Beat Baltimore????

more like Baltimore lost to Cleveland, WTF

that was a shoe-in


Code Select

This expression purportedly comes from the practice of corrupt jockeys holding their horses back and shooing a preselected winner
across the finish line to guarantee that it will win. A "shoo-in" is now an easy winner, with no connotation of dishonesty.
"Shoe-in" is a common misspelling

Another pick-6 week for me.  second in a row,  I know Pick-6 sounds good in football, but not in that way.

I know what you mean...

About the only sure thing we have going this year is that Chris Matthews will be flagged for tackling a QB.

Columbus Day weekend, and Redskins lost, Indians, and Braves both lost in baseball. Coincidence?

With last week's results, I'm pulled up even with Ristau. :smug:

But, dang, those games with middle-of-the-pack teams are hard to call.

What did you guys have for the LA KC game? I almost didn't watch it, but the hockey game was blacked out.

I picked KC, but knew it was going to be a toss-up. And an air show. Wow.

Teams that will very likely be in the playoffs that these guys did not at all see coming:
Cowboys
Bears
Seahawks

And while some teams with lots of votes will likely make the playoffs, it may not be as division champs, as most predicted.

Big lolz at how the Jaguars were highly touted and then went on to fall apart this season.

It all comes down to Week 17 and whether or not the teams out in front decide to rest their starters for the playoffs...

Well played, Ristau, only one less correct pick than I had for the regular season.

I've opened it up for the playoffs, if you want to keep going.
