Thanks Rael for all of your hard work again this season.

 

[Rael]

Thanks for the kind words, all.


We have a few more than usual missed picks this week (6), which kinda tells me they could be done for the season (being the final week of the regular season).

Some of these six are possible contenders for the playoffs. At the end of week 16, Ponytail is/was a contender, I'm assuming he's out since this was his third week of missing picks. Runner ups (again, end of wk 16) are/were:

13. FireBrand
14. Chasey Lane
15. SOMDRAVEN
16. Baz
17. DoWhat

This was also SOMDRAVEN's third miss, so I'm assuming a playoff vacancy there as well. That means there would be two runner ups who'd move into the spots (FireBrand and Chasey Lane if I went by week 16 results).

I'd like to get 12 playoff contenders (if all 12 are interested, that is). Runner ups, please stay tuned after tomorrow night so I can post the 12 who are ranked to move on to the playoffs. And please, left me know if you're not interested in staying with it throughout he playoffs.

Thanks.

Commish, I am in it to win it again this year even though I am the weakest division leader so far. I just have to remember back to last year when I backed into the playoffs as the 12th seed.

Good luck the rest of the way to you and all who qualify for the playoffs!!

Thanks, all it takes is getting in it, then (like the NFL playoffs) one game at a time. It's all anyone's guess in this pool anyhow.

Week 17 picks...

Good luck, all. And Happy New Year as well.

2nd edit: Revised with my changed picks.

Changed my fiver from Packers to Raiders, and changed Packers pick to Lions (after hearing the news on who the Packers are resting).

Just saw the picks were due friday. Guess this is just for kicks!

Sorry, bud, but can't do it. I've held everyone to the Friday midnight all season (even some who aren't in this anymore because of missing the deadline three times).

You're most likely in for the playoffs unless something drastic happens, though (and of you want to be, that is). At the end of wk 16, you were seeded at number 7.

 

[Tilted]

Good luck to everyone still vying for a playoff spot.

After my dismal performance last week, I have to hope to hold off the likes of Baby Kat and OldHillcrestGuy for the best raw score.

You're holding a solid 54% for the year, that's damned good IMO.

I didn't intentionally skip picks this week. Was out of town doing the holidaze thing, and didn't even think about football picks until this morning. Heck, the way my year's been, I might do better by not submitting picks.

Good one

8:20 EST, NBC. Just watch. I hate the Cowgirls but they're dangerous. That said, it would be awesome if Romo choked tonight.

 

[Merlin99]

I think there's a good chance that Atlanta will cover the spread. (42-7 at the half)

 

[OldHillcrestGuy]

Oh my God, Im choking big time, I was in the #8 spot for the playoffs and if the Ravens dont cover the spread and I lose my 5 point pick, I may only end up with about 5 right tonight.

 

[OldHillcrestGuy]

You may have spoken too soon its 42-24 now.

 

[homedepot20]

Without knowing how much (or if) the starters are going to play - never mind the starters that will be yanked once a game gets out of hand and a playoff spot cemented - makes this week very tough to predict.

You called this week of predication , PERFECT ! What a fustrating Day !

Glad to hear that you're still in. Sometimes it's difficult to tell what everyone is thinking, I just see 'no picks' and try to make heads or tails out of it.

I think there's a good chance that Atlanta will cover the spread. (42-7 at the half)

You were smart for keeping the Pack for your fiver despite the QB change (and other key players - Woodson, Matthews, etc.).

Who'da thunk Flynn would break a record with 6 TDs and 480 yards as a back-up?

Does Tampa even have a pro football team, or do they just dress random Joe Blows off the street? That team is Awful.

Really? A Jacksonville fan is questioning the legitimacy of any other football team? One that has won a Super Bowl?
