Biggest Movers
Bears up 5
Patriots down 3

1	Ravens	They just keep on winning to remain atop the rankings. At some point though, they will have to throw to the receivers more.	--	10-2-0
2	Seahawks	They are now the No. 2 seed in the NFC and sit atop the NFC West . If the NFC playoffs go through Seattle, they just might make the Super Bowl.	2	10-2-0
3	Saints	They have a big test this week against the 49ers, a game that will go a long way in deciding home-field advantage in the playoffs. The defense impressed last week in beating the Falcons.	2	10-2-0
4	49ers	They showed well on defense against the Ravens, but they needed more on offense. They are suddenly in second place in the division.	1	10-2-0
5	Patriots	The offense is limited right now, which will challenge Josh McDaniels and Tom Brady to turn things around.	3	10-2-0
6	Packers	The offense got back on track against the Giants, which you would expect. They get another winnable game this week with the Redskins.	--	9-3-0
7	Vikings	They lost a tough game Monday night at Seattle, but they showed well. If Dalvin Cook is lost for any length of time, that will be a big hit.	--	8-4-0
8	Bills	It's time to believe in this team. Josh Allen has really elevated his game. Now comes a big one with the Ravens.	--	9-3-0
9	Texans	That was a big-time victory against the Patriots. The improvement by the defense will be key down the stretch.	--	8-4-0
10	Chiefs	They basically locked up the division beating the Raiders. The defense is showing big-time improvement by the week.	--	8-4-0

SPJAG00 and Cowboy tied with 10 wins..................

Still a Homer and GA show.....

Good Luck All!

I sure didn't copy any homework from Musky and 'speck this week!

 

[WIMUSKY]

I threw caution to the wind..... Check out the SB odds, GA......

 

[GA_Boater]

So odds are a Balmer- Nawlins SB.

I shoulda copied. It was tied at 7 when I posted earlier, now it's 7-17, Da Bears.

 

[WIMUSKY]

So who picked Da Bears besides me?

 

[WIMUSKY]

If the Boyz lose, don't be surprised if Garret doesn't see week 15....

 

[aspeck]

I picked da Bears because the Boyz haven’t beat a team with a winning record. Bears were 6-6 ... close enough to beat theBoyz at Soldier Field ... 31-14 with 9 minutes to play ...

Of course you did....:lol:

 

[GA_Boater]

Not me!

7 out of 11 chose Da Bears, giving FlaCowboy, Bulldogz, Fishyfish and Moi goose eggs.

Jerry Jones does not fire coaches during the season. Why not? Who knows. Garret looks like a stiff puppet on the sidelines that claps his hands once in a while. Garret never missed a block, arm tackled or ran the wrong pattern, not once this year. If I was a fan of the self appointed "America's Team" I would be calling for a switch to maybe put a spark in this uninspired team. It can't hurt. But then again they are atop the NFC least. I will never understand how a better team and a better record by far will miss the playoffs and a team with a losing record gets in.

How bout' dem' Bills? We will find out Sunday for sure. In order to win this one I think the Bills Mafia will need to kidnap thier QB for the afternoon.

Not a FB guy and first post (I think) in this area. Sister is a Chief's fan and wanted me to watch them for the second time because she wanted my mojo (what ever that is)

I saw the pass interference on the Patriot's by the Chief's in the last few minutes. There was also holding on a safety (was told that, and was on vid) but did not see it. None of these issues were called by the Ref's. So the Chief's won but where were the Ref's or was the fix in

 

[GA_Boater]

I agree you're not a FB guy, AD. I moved your post to the weekly NFL thread out the NCAA thread.

I saw both those lack of officiating calls on the Pats in their last drive. Speaking about the Pats, I almost changed my pick in the last minutes before the game started, then decided to stick with my 1st pick, the Pats. Oh well.

 

[alldodge]

OK moved it but this post will at least let me know if something is said.

I don't like cheating and maybe next time my Sis ask for me to watch I'll just have to pass

 

[GA_Boater]

It didn't seem right that two calls against the Chief were missed on the same play. I won't call it cheating, but refs are usually too quick with a penalty and those were overlooked. :noidea:

 

[sphelps]

My picks are almost as bad as my Jaguars .. :facepalm:
It blows my mind that we were just one bad call away from making it to the SB just a couple years ago ..
I,m pulling for the Bills the rest of the way .. That is until they start jumping on tables .. Then I'll need to move elsewhere .. LOL!!!

 

[redneck joe]

my chiefs looked pretty good. Hope Pats hand is ok

 

[Old Ironmaker]

The Bills could have won this one. That is if Allen didn't over throw guys deep that were open, 6 times. It happens but coach McDermot said it best, a lack of execution on offence, maybe they should execute the offence after yesterday. The D did their job holding an amazing Ravens offence to 24 points, I believe the lowest all year. The way the Pats are struggling Buffalo has a good chance to take the division. I think it will be the 1st time New England hasn't finished 1st in what seems like 50 years. They need to beat the Patriots and if they don't they won't be bonified in the eyes of all.

Poor inside linebacker Matt Milano, they will be showing that replay of him being ducked out of his spikes by that Baltimore QB for years to come. Never watch the runners eyes or feet, watch his belt, where the belt goes, he goes.

 

[GA_Boater]

Is Angus losing faith in the Giants? Iggles gonna get a field goal? :smile:

 

[GA_Boater]

Eagles got their FG. Now 7-3 Giants with about 5 min. left in the 1st half.

 

[aspeck]

Eagles look pathetic
