Well, this is it folks, final week of the regular season.........

We have 3 players still in contention. However, it's Lost In Georgia's to lose with a 5pt lead. PSU Homer and bassman have their work cutout. They're going to need to take some chances if they want a shot at the Championship.

The rest of us are history and are playing for pride. For some of us, pride went out the door weeks ago......:laugh:

Week 16 saw 4 payers with 14pts!
1) Lost In Georgia
2) PSU Homer
3) The Admiral
4) 12vMan

And 3 with 13pts!
1) bassman
2) FishyFish
3) SPJAG00

Congrats everyone!

Good luck all!

And the officiating crew in New York already clinched a review of how they do instant replay ... I think Kraft is the only owner in favor of the change in this year's philosophy, and it doesn't appear many fans are happy.

It's funny when announcers don't even know if it's a catch anymore. And not just Gruden...

W/O Wentz, I think Philly is in trouble. Foles won't be able to get it done in the playoffs, imo. Helps the Vikes tho....:D

Looks like the Steelers are sitting Ben, LeVeon and Marquice Pouncey (center). I think there is another offensive lineman that isn't playing but can't remember. They should still beat the Browns but looks like they have conceded the second seed at this point.

Tomlin watched 30 seconds of Bryce Petty film, then went down to Landry Jones locker and told him was starting.

This is the worst part of Pick 'Em - figuring out which otherwise favored teams are willing to throw a game they don't really need.

Some teams have a lot to play for, others have nothing ... motivations, different players ... yep bassman, it is tough to pick this week ...

I went to the Rams game today. All 2nd stringers for the Rams. Almost half the stadium were 49er fans jumping on the Garoppolo bandwagon. He actually didn't look that good.

Was my 3rd game this season. If it wasn't 72° out I probably would have left earlier than I did. Can't even imagine going to a game on the east coast!
