Today is the big game! Now, I know you're thinking that I'm talking about the Patriots, and Jets-Dolphins, and all that, but no, today is the championship for my fantasy football league and I'm in the title game. Woo. hoo.
Now down to business:
St. Louis @ Atlanta: I've moved Matt Ryan to be my starter in fantasy football in case Tony Dungy decides to let Jim Sorgi get used as a tackling dummy by Tennessee instead of Peyton Manning. I'm going to put my money where my mouth is: Atlanta.
Kansas City @ Cincinnati: Jeez. Cincinnati has momentum after last week? I dunno. Cincy.
Tennessee @ Indianapolis: Indy.
New England @ Buffalo: I have to go with the Pats.
Detroit @ Green Bay: God, I just have to think Detroit will win a game this year, but it just doesn't make sense that it would be this one. GB
NY Giants @ Minnesota: Giants.
Carolina @ New Orleans: The Saints, in a mild upset.
Oakland @ Tampa Bay: TB
Cleveland @ Pittsburgh: Cleveland loses, and Romeo Crennel loses his job.
Miami @ NY Jets: /me sighs. I will root for the Jets today.
Chicago @ Houston. Bears.
Dallas @ Philadelphia: Philly
Seattle @ Arizona: God Arizona sucked last week. Arizona
Washington @ SF: SF
Jacksonville @ Baltimore: Baltimore, sadly.
Denver @ San Diego: San Diego

Sunday, December 21, 2008
Grrr...I didn't miss that there was a game last night. I simply forgot to post. I *DID* pick Baltimore however to jack up the 'Boys. Obviously, the pick can't count BUT...yeah...I started Matt Schaub instead of Romo on my fantasy team this week for just that reason. :P
And what of the rest of my picks this week?!!
Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns: Gah. I hate to say that even to fans of either team this game is just kinda...meaningless. Of course I'm taking the Browns though.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Tennessee Titans: My money's on Tennessee & home field advantage here.
San Francisco 49ers @ St Louis Rams: I think the Niners are the better team here...so I'm going with them!
San Diego Chargers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers: The Bucs can stay in the playoff hunt with wins...and I think they'll get one today.
New Orleans Saints @ Detroit Lions: Yeah...Saints. Poor Lions. :(
Miami Dolphins @ Kansas City Chiefs: Gotta take Miami...in what has really shaped up to be the most interesting division race in the league.
Arizona Cardinals @ New England Patriots: Weather is crucial here...and I just don't see any way the Cards can win this one. Pats theoretically stay in the playoff hunt...realistically tho? I don't think they have a shot. Sorry Dot. :(
Buffalo Bills @ Denver Broncos: Broncos of course. Playoff bound.
New York Jets @ Seattle Seahawks: Holmgren vs. Favre. Advantage, Favre. And the stage is set for next week's AFC East championship-deciding game between the two most improbable teams we could've imagined at the outset of the season.
Houston Texans @ Oakland Raiders: Texans. Duh.
Atlanta Falcons @ Minnesota Vikings: Really this is Peterson vs. Turner. I think Matt Ryan gives Atlanta an advantage...and I'm taking them.
Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins: Eagles stay alive with another win.
Carolina Panthers @ New York Giants: The G-men have something to prove this week. And I think they'll prove it with a win.
Green Bay Packers @ Chicago Bears: Gotta go Bears at home!

Snow Bound Picks!
Okay. I don't know how I missed that there was a game last night, but Kit missed it as well and Tony Romo is her fantasy QB so I don't feel too badly about it. I'm more concerned about fantasy football playoffs, and the fact that several of my players are hurt. Of course, my opponent this week has Kurt Warner as his QB and it is snowing like crazy here in Boston so that's not going to help him one bit.
On to the picks:
Cincinnati @ Cleveland Cleveland wins the battle of Ohio
Pittsburgh @ Tennessee I'm fascinated by this one. I'm taking Pittsburgh
San Francisco @ St. Louis SF, for reasons unknown to me.
San Diego @ Tampa Bay Tampa Bay is unbeated at home. No reason this won't continue
New Orleand @ Detroit Please let Detroit win a game. New Orleans will win this one though.
Miami @ Kansas City /me sighs. Miami
Arizona @ New England New England, given the weather
Buffalo @ Denver How in God's name did Buffalo lose to the Jets? Marshawn Lynch should tear up Denver's defense. I'm taking Buffalo
Houston @ Oakland I like Houston, which has turned in a respectable season.
New York Jets @ Seattle I can only wish the Jets will lose. They won't.
Atlanta @ Minnesota I like Atlanta and Michael Turner to have a big game.
Philadelphia @ Washington Philly
Carolina @ New York Giants Flip a coin. Carolina comes up a winner!
Green Bay @ Chicago Da Bears, and a big defensive game to seal the victory for my fantasy team.

Thursday Night Special
Indianapolis @ Jacksonville. It's playoffs time in fantasy football and Peyton Manning is my quarterback. I know, I know. As a Patriots fan my head should explode with this cruel state of affairs. Still, Peyton needs to put up big numbers for me tonight. Do you hear that Peyton? Do you hear that Tony Dungy? I want Peyton throwing every time in the red zone, or quarterback sneaks from the one. Just do it! Oh, Indy should win this one.

Kit's Picks - Week 15
OMG...the season's just about over. Then playoffs...then no football for ages and ages. :(
Is it me or do there seem to be a large number of DUH! games today?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Atlanta Falcons: These guys are duking it out for division supremacy...and I think it's gonna be a tough one...but I'll take Atlanta.
Seattle Seahawks @ St Louis Rams: *yawn* St. Louis.
Buffalo Bills @ New York Jets: With the gridlock in the AFC East...every game is a 'must win' now for the Jets, Fins, & Pats. On paper, this is the toughest of the week among these 3 teams. But is it really? I mean come on. The Bills are a big goose egg in the division...and what success they *DID* have came in the first few weeks of the season (as usual). Gotta take the Jets today...and the gridlock continues.
San Francisco 49ers @ Miami Dolphins: The Fins are currently finding themselves at the top of the gridlock heap. They have to win to stay in the hunt. And they will. In fact...imo the AFC East is going to come down to the last week, between the Jets & Fins. Who woulda thunk that game would carry such huge weight at the beginning of the season?!
San Diego Chargers @ Kansas City Chiefs: Yeah...gotta take San Diego here.
Green Bay Packers @ Jacksonville Jaguars: Green Bay keeps letting me down...but I keep going back for more!! Green Bay.
Detroit Lions @ Indianapolis Colts: Erm yeah. Colts.
Tennessee Titans @ Houston Texans: Yeah I realize the Titans have clinched playoffs. But there's still home field advantage to gain. Also, it's Houston. Gotta take the Tits again this week!
Washington Redskins @ Cincinnati Bengals: 'Skins. God bless Cincy.
Minnesota Vikings @ Arizona Cardinals: Yanno I think this will be a close one...but I'm taking the Cards.
Pittburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens: The Steelers squeaked by Baltimore at Heinz earlier in the season. It pains me to say this...more than you know...but I think Baltimore is the better team. Pittsburgh has been lucky...a LOT. Baltimore has been kicking ass and taking names. I have to take Baltimore today...and I have to think they are going to ultimately pull the division championship.
New England Patriots @ Oakland Raiders: No hope for the Pats if they lose this one. Of course they won't lose this one.
Denver Broncos @ Carolina Panthers: It baffles me, but Denver keeps winning games they shouldn't. I think they're about to do it again today.
New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys now remind me of the Indy of a few years back. You know...the one w/the great quarterback...who have so much flash and are capable of putting up so many points...but who just can't put away the big games. This game...is HUGE. And the Giants are gonna put it away.
Cleveland Browns @ Philadelphia Eagles: Congrats to all you fantasy owners who're playing Brian Westbrook this weekend. He should have a huge day!! The Browns are toast at this point...there's always next season right? Right.

Dot's Sure Losers of the Week
Tampa Bay @ Atlanta: Atlanta, given their stellar home record.

Minnesota @ Arizona: Arizona, in a big way.

Football Thursday
I like Chicago tonight, and their defense will come up big to save my fantasy team. You can see how close everything is: I'm in second place by less than 2 points, and I play Kit, who is in third place, this weekend. I need to win and win big to finish first in the league....and then, playoffs!

| *2. | New England Dotriots | 10-4-0 | .714 | 1508.50 | L-2 | 8 | 15 |

Kit's Picks - Week 14!!
Wheee coming in under the wire here today as the 1:00 games get underway!!
Jacksonville Jaguars@ Chicago Bears: Hmmm yeah. Gotta go Chicago here!
Houston Texans @ Green Bay Packers: Texans are lackluster...so is Green Bay. But I'm betting on the Pack to pull it out today.
Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints: Call me crazy...I think Atlanta will take it!
Cleveland Browns @ Tennessee Titans: *sigh* Hello Ken Dorsey. Goodbye Romeo Crennell (we can only hope). Titans get an early Christmas gift w/this one.
Philadelphia Eagles @ New York Giants: Losing Plax hurts the Giants. Philly is a team in crisis. I think this will be a dogfight...but the G-men will prevail.
Cincinnati Bengals @ Indianapolis Colts: Bengals? Who dey? Another early Christmas gift. Say thanks, Peyton!
Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions: Good god the Lions are so sad. AD runs...well...all day. Vikings take it.
Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills: Buffalo...wherefore art thou? I gotta take my home boy Pennington and the Fins.
New York Jets @ San Francisco 49ers: The cracks are showing for the Jets. But this is a must win...and I think they can do it. And will.
Kansas City Chiefs @ Denver Broncos: The Broncs put another nail in the coffin that is the sad AFC West.
New England Patriots @ Seattle Seahawks: New England has an awfully easy season for having been 16-0 last season. Lucky for them, considering. Winning this one'll keep them in the AFC East title race.
St. Louis Rams @ Arizona Cardinals: The legend of Kurt Warner grows as the angry birds take another!
Dallas Cowboys @ Pittsurgh Steelers: This is a very tough late season matchup for two teams who can't afford to lose right now. The 'Boys need it more, however, and I think they'll take it. Narrowly.
Washington Redskins @ Baltimore Ravens: And...this is the other side of the coin to the Dallas/Pittsurgh matchup. Ironic that these 4 teams got matched up this week. Like Dallas, the 'Skins need it more. Unlike Dallas, they won't get it.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers: Tight game I think. I'm taking the Bucs.
Jacksonville Jaguars@ Chicago Bears: Hmmm yeah. Gotta go Chicago here!
Houston Texans @ Green Bay Packers: Texans are lackluster...so is Green Bay. But I'm betting on the Pack to pull it out today.
Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints: Call me crazy...I think Atlanta will take it!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers: Tight game I think. I'm taking the Bucs.
Dot's Picks of the Week
Kit keeps sneaking up closer in the standings, and this may be the week where I lose it completely. I also got killed in fantasy football last week (Brian Westbrook went for four touchdowns on Thanksgiving, which meant I would never catch up). Still, I am plugging away at my picks, but not with any great confidence this week.
Jacksonville @ Chicago Chicago, I think.
Houston @ Green Bay Green Bay
Atlanta @ New Orleans Atlanta.
Cleveland @ Tennessee Tennessee.
Philadelphia @ New York Giants Giants
Cincinnati @ Indianapolis Indianapolis. Peyton Manning, my fantasy QB, totally screwed me last week.
Minnesota @ Detroit Minnesota. All my Gus Frerotte bashing, and he keeps winning.
Miami @ Buffalo Buffalo, to help save the Patriots' season.
New York Jets @ San Francisco Jets, I guess. But I hope they lose.
Kansas City @ Denver Who the hell knows. Denver
New England @ Seattle New England, in the first of four must win games for the Pats
St. Louis @ Arizona Arizona, as Kurt Warner decimates his former team.
Dallas @ Pittsburgh Pittsburgh. What can I say?
Washington @ Baltimore Baltimore
Tampa Bay @ Carolina Tampa Bay. I honestly thought Carolina was supposed to be good this year. I suppose I was misinformed.
Jacksonville @ Chicago Chicago, I think.
Houston @ Green Bay Green Bay
Atlanta @ New Orleans Atlanta.
Cleveland @ Tennessee Tennessee.
Philadelphia @ New York Giants Giants
Cincinnati @ Indianapolis Indianapolis. Peyton Manning, my fantasy QB, totally screwed me last week.
Minnesota @ Detroit Minnesota. All my Gus Frerotte bashing, and he keeps winning.

Thursday Night Update
Oakland v. San Diego I'm sure the NFL Network is thrilled to have this on the slate. Sure, Oakland could win, but they probably won't. Then again, LT is MIA. SD gets the W.
Thursday Night Football!!
Oakland Raiders @ San Diego Chargers: Riiiight. In the week 14 version of the Who Cares Bowl...I'll take the Chargers.
