Cleveland tried to cap their season with two wins in a row. They stretched the 2nd team Steelers in OT before the Steelers prevailed. 24-27 Pittsburgh.

These games are terrible when the playoff bound teams rest the starters - Except for Brady.

All my late game picks are leading! For now.

Well isn't that special! LOL

Another horrible week for me. :doh:

 

[sphelps]

Another horrible week for me. :doh:

You and me both ! I had to be a homer .. I guess that one game win streak was to much for them to handle . :cold:

 

[bassman284]

Well isn't that special! LOL

Another horrible week for me. :doh:

Ha HA! Special for me! I usually see about a third of my picks go down the toilet in the first quarter. Seahawks-49ers is the only close one and the Seahawks have put that one away. My luck, everybody else made the same picks.

 

[WIMUSKY]

Surprised Eli played the whole game..... I know WA wished they benched him with a bunch of others......

Looks like Cowboy has locked 'er up. Just a matter if we'll have a tie for 2nd....... Could know at the start of GB/Det....... Hoping for a good game.... Stafford hasn't done very well since hurting his thumb...

 

[bruceb58]

A Wash win would have put me tied for first...oh well.

Congrats to Fla Cowboy!

 

[WIMUSKY]

Congrats fellas and malady.............

Cowboy :first:

babock :second:

The Admiral :third:


And GA is "still" lost in Georgia!

 

[GA_Boater]

Yes, I'm lost but not last. LOL

 

[bruceb58]

Amazing Packers end up winning the division. Detroit is pretty darn good too.

Vikings are the chokers of the division.

 

[GA_Boater]

The Vikes lose Bridgewater during preseason practice but still start out 5-0. Then during the bye week they forgot how to play and only won 3 more over the final 11 weeks. Bradford did a good job replacing Bridgewater and Peterson barely played in the first 5 games, so that probably wasn't much of a factor.

But then you read about the defense ignoring Zimmer's game plan and you have to wonder.

I felt kinda dirty rooting for Denver. i took a shower after the game. ....

 

[angus63]

Congrats Cowboy!
Stitching up my Rodgers voodoo doll this week in the hope history repeats itself and Eli has a good memory.

Oakland is in such sad shape QB-wise. You didn't need to get dirty pulling for Denver, RNJ. LOL

They mortgaged the farm getting Bradford.

Thanks guys...:encouragement:

Fun time as always.

I thought the Admiral was gonna walk away with it a few weeks back when she took a 2 game lead and Bruce was always right there.

I hope that everyone has had a Great Holiday Season...!!!

 

[GA_Boater]

Congrats, Cowboy.

I told her the picks for Week 16 were going to hurt. It did! :fish:

 

[FlaCowboy]

Congrats, Cowboy.

Is that a confession GA...? Did you make those picks for her...? :laugh:

 

[GA_Boater]

She made them all on her lonesome. She knew how good I was at picking.
