Sure, RJ. I'll still be making picks. I couldn't do much worse, could I?

MK: You've had a rough two weeks. But you're still with me for Week 17, right? And then of course we get to break down the various playoff matchups... :)

MCH: I want as many people to be involved in this as possible. Why not make your own picks in my soon-to-come Week 17 post?

The Bears got screwed, that was touchdown.

RJ, I'd take your results in a heartbeat! At least the Fish bumped me up to 8-7.

Wow. Awful returns on my picks so far. 2-1 yesterday, 5-6 today with a lousy game tonight and the Monday nighter to follow. Oh well, at least the Colts won and Manning got his record.

I liked it a lot. I didn't think there would be any upstart of the violence - and there wasn't. Still - a relief and a good, if slightly sloppy game. Thanks for asking. The second game was even better, though I was sick at the idea of the Lakers winning. Of course, i always am regardless. :) And then they didn't win.

Did you hear about Reggie White dying of a heart attack early this morning? That's pretty bad he was like 43.

Well, I lost that coin toss on the Vikings. Here are my Sunday & Monday picks: Falcons over Saints by 6 Steelers over Ravens by 9 Bears over Lions by 2 Jaguars over Texans by 8 Giants over Bengals by 4 Colts over Chargers by 13 Bills over 49ers by 11 Patriots over Jets by 3 Seahawks over Cardinals by 4 Bucs over Panthers by 3 Redskins over Cowboys by 7 Dolphins by 4 over Browns Eagles over Rams by 6 I'm really looking forward to that Colts-Chargers game. I'm hoping Manning gets that record behind him in the first quarter.

How'd you like the early basketball game, Temple? ;-)

Oh and I hope you're right about Seattle. You can't predict them - they play down to the level of the competition and its aggravating as all get out. Merry Christmas (although Happy Holidays or Season's greetings works for me until about Dec. 15 or so. Because Christmas isn't the day after Thanksgivng, which is also a holiday).

Yep. I did miss your picks post. I'm watching basketball tomorrow.

I can't remember a Friday game in my lifetime. OK, here goes with Friday and Saturday games: Vikings over Packers by 3. This is such a coin toss. The Vikings are so talented. The Packers are so injured. The Vikings find remarkable ways to lose at home. The Packers gut out games they have no business winning. I have no idea who will show up. Chiefs over Raiders by 6. Looks like another shootout waiting to happen. Should be a fun, if meaningless, game. Broncos over Titans by 9. Broncos should put it together well enough to get into the playoffs. If McNair were playing, I'd put the Titans up by one at home. Sunday picks later...

I didn't realize there was a Friday game on, and a good one at that. Looks like I'll be having to sneak away in search of a TV whilst over at the in-laws... I'm completely torn up by this season as a lifelong NY Giants fan. On the one hand, Eli Manning has shown small flashes of brilliance and poise this season, but on the other, they threw away a perfectly plausible run at a playoff spot (especially in the crappy NFC, as you mention) with the change at starter. Obviously, Warner was going to bomb out at some point, I suppose, and maybe Coughlin knew something we didn't (at least, he better hope so).

Hey, ya'll! The first game starts in a matter of hours. Let's get pickin'! (Additional, more precise, prediction: Pittsburgh 21, Baltimore 6)
