Sunday Playoff Picks

Baltimore @ Miami: Baltimore. Miami doesn't have the offense to win this one.

Philadelphia @ Minnesota: I like Philly. Donovan McNabb has the experience to make this happen, at least for one round.

Playoffs?

Well, I won my fantasy football league championship, but my Patriots were left out in the cold for the RL playoffs. Still, 11-5 after losing the best quarterback in the league (you hear that Peyton? Tom Brady is *better* than you) is nothing to complain about. How many teams in the league could lose their starter, turn the team over to a guy who hadn't started a game since *high school*, and still win eleven games? Oh, right. Playoff match ups.

Atlanta @ Arizona: Atlanta. I mean, which Arizona team will show up? They haven't exactly been on a hot streak and they just laid down and died against the Patriots. Still, they do have that explosive passing game. I just think the winner is going to need to be able to run the ball and Michael Turner is better suited to it than anyone Arizona can come up with.

Indianapolis @ San Diego: Indy. San Diego is another team just happy to be in the playoffs. Indianapolis has too much experience in these games to lose to the Chargers.

Final Week Picks

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

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.

Tonight's Game...

I'm taking the Colts. ;)

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.

Detroit @ Indianapolis: Really. I have to say something? Indy

Seattle @ St. Louis: The battle of the 2-11 teams. The line is even. I tossed a coin, and it said take St. Louis

Buffalo @ NY Jets: I am taking Buffalo, in the hopes that karma helps somehow.

Tennessee @ Houston: Houston. Tennessee is playoffs bound and resting up.

Washington @Cincinnati: 'skins.

San Diego @ Kansas City: Kansas City is bad, but could surprise. I still have to go with SD. When will LT wake up?

San Francisco @ Miami: Miami, as I grit my teeth and pray they lose.

Green Bay @ Jacksonville: Green Bay, though lord knows why.

Minnesota @ Arizona: Arizona, in a big way.

New England @ Oakland: Could the season get any worse for New England? Still, they win.

Denver @ Carolina: Carolina is on a roll, and I need DeAngelo Williams to keep his TD streak alive for my fantasy team. Panthers all the way

Pittsburgh @ Baltimore: I dunno. Pittsburgh, I guess.

NY Giants @ Dallas: Giants.

Cleveland @ Philadelphia: Cleveland has had one Monday night upset. They won't get two. Philly

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!

*1.	Tigers	10-4-0	.714	1510.05	L-1	6	30
*2.	New England Dotriots	10-4-0	.714	1508.50	L-2	8	15
*3.	Pwnd	9-5-0	.643	1559.05	L-1	3	38
*4.	mooseknuckle	9-5-0	.643	1425.60	W-5	7	13

Tonight's Game!

I'm taking Chicago!!!

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.

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.

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.

Dot's Lucky Week Thirteen Picks

Kit is closing the gap on our picks. I'm tempted to just use her picks this week, but I won't. On the plus side, I've clinched a playoff spot in our fantasy football league and am currently in first place. I lucked out and have three of the top ten fantasy running backs on my roster. I'm praying Clinton Portis can make it to the end of the year....

Picks.

Tennesee Titans @ Detroit Lions: Detroit always plays on Turkey Day. You can guess why. Tennesee.

Seattle Seahawks @ Dallas Cowboys: Honestly, if you pick against Seattle you're going to get at least 12 wins out of 16 this year. Dallas.

Arizona Cardinals @ Philadelphia Eagles: Kurt Warner could probably walk on water at this point, but he lives in the desert. Arizona.

San Francisco 49ers @ Buffalo Bills: Jeez Bills, you've made me look stupid for picking you to win the AFC East after Brady's injury. **** you! Bills.

Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals: This is Kit's Hater Bowl. The big plus for her? One of these teams will lose. Baltimore.

Indianapolis Colts @ Cleveland Browns: Poor poor Browns. Colts win.

Miami Dolphins @ St Louis Rams: Did you know that I had Greg Camarillo on my fantasy roster? Did you know his season ended because of injury? I picked up Ted Ginn Jr. about five seconds after Camarillo went down. Watch yourself over the middle Ginn! Dolphins.

New York Giants @ Washington Redskins: If I wanted to get cute, I'd pick the 'skins. I've learned my lesson. Giants.

New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Kit thinks this one will be tough. I don't. Saints.

Carolina Panthers @ Green Bay Packers: The Packers are up and down and up and win. Packers

Atlanta Falcons @ San Diego Chargers: Atlanta.

Denver Broncos @ New York Jets: Thanks Denver for losing more games for me this year than any other team. I need the Jets to lose so my Pats have a chance to win the division, but it ain't happening this week. Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers @ New England Patriots: /me sighs. Patriots, although I should know better.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Oakland Raiders: Kansas City.

Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings: I have Chicago's defense in my fantasy league. I know I've been talking trash about Gus Frerotte for weeks now, but this really is the week he throws three interceptions.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans: Houston. I thought Jacksonville was supposed to be good or something.

Kit's Picks - Week 13!!

Wheeee....going into a short week...hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!!

Getting right into the picks. ;)

Tennesee Titans @ Detroit Lions: They were popping the champagne in Miami last week...but the Titans are still as good as it gets. Tennesee.

Seattle Seahawks @ Dallas Cowboys: Seawho? Boys take it.

Arizona Cardinals @ Philadelphia Eagles: What a nasty mess in Philly...they can just send McNabb to Cleveland if they don't want him. I'll take the Cardinals this week.

San Francisco 49ers @ Buffalo Bills: Damn...the Bills have been bad...but I'm gonna take them this week.

Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals: I hear there's an offical move on to rename the Cincy mascot from 'the Bengals' to 'the Suck'. Baltimore, sadly.

Indianapolis Colts @ Cleveland Browns: Yeah. I love you Browns. But I have to take the effing Manning this week.

Miami Dolphins @ St Louis Rams: Dun dun dun. Fins.

New York Giants @ Washington Redskins: Yeah...G-men.

New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers: This one'll be tough I think. I'm taking the Saints.

Carolina Panthers @ Green Bay Packers: Packers bounce back from their epic ass-kicking with a win.

Atlanta Falcons @ San Diego Chargers: Hrmmmmm...Atlanta I think.

Denver Broncos @ New York Jets: Who the hell gets REAMED by Oakland?!!! Gotta go Jets here.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ New England Patriots: Pats, yeah.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Oakland Raiders: KC gets a win!

Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings: Going with Chicago...it'll be a dogfight tho.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans: Houston!

Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons: Taking Atlanta!

Indianapolis Colts @ San Diego Chargers: San Diego..and both teams need it!

Green Bay Packers @ New Orleans Saints: I'm going Saints this week!

Dot's Week 12 Picks

So Kit picked up a game on me last week and I'm starting to worry a bit. I'm also facing a stiff battle at the top of the fantasy league--I'm going against the top team. We have the same record, but Ky has more points so he's the leader. Kit thinks it is enough just to make the playoffs but I want to win out the regular season as well. Competitive much?

Now the picks.

Tampa Bay @ Detroit Tampa Bay

NY Jets @ Tennessee Detroit

Buffalo @ Kansas City Jeez, I dunno. Buffalo.

Chicago @ St. Louis Chicago

New England @ Miami New England

Minnesota @ Jacksonville Jacksonville

Philadelphia @ Baltimore Philadelphia

Houston @ Cleveland Cleveland

San Francisco @ Dallas Dallas

Oakland @ Denver Denver

Washington @ Seattle Washington

NY Giants @ Arizona A tough one. Giants in the end.

Carolina @ Atlanta Atlanta

Indianapolis @ San Diego Indianapolis

Green Bay @ New Orleans Green Bay.

Dot's Almost Late Thursday Night Game Pick

Gah! I almost forgot there was a game tonight I've been so busy in RL....

Pittsburgh against Cincinnati. Gee, that's a tough one. Pittsburgh.
