    Your wish is my command. There have been many times I wanted to engage in conversation about some of the games but it does make tabulating results challenging so please, post all you want here.

    Be civil!!!!

    This is a mixed bag of games on hand for week 12. The early games seem pretty straightforward but the last 4 are coin flips to me.Game of the week Philly v LA IMO. Monday night game is going to be good too. Anytime you get a Harbaugh Bowl is a good game

    Yeah, quite a few surprises. That's why they play the games. I'm currently 8-3, so not awful.

    I have a feeling, and I could be wrong, but I think this weekend may see quite a few upsets like we did last week. Time to see if some of these teams are indeed contenders or just pretenders. With 6 weeks remaining on the regular season schedule, EVERY game counts...no room for error.

    The football gods were looking out for the Chiefs yesterday. I almost…ALMOST picked the Raiders and when I saw they were that close for a last second game winning field goal I was screaming I knew it!!! But then football being what football is…full of unexpected variables.

    I'm having a comeback week. While I'm certainly rooting against the Bills, if they win tonight I'll be 13-2. A whisker shy of being perfect, with the close Colts and Chargers wins.

    The Pick 'Em thread for Week 16 is posted. Since it is a last minute posting, if nothing else, just get tonight's pick in and the remainder of the week by tomorrow night.

    When I turned the game on, they were winning 21-10 with about 5 minutes left in the 2nd quarter and were driving to score again, it felt like. Then they punted, but intercepted Herbert on the next drive, and it felt like that might be the stake to the Chargers heart. But just about everything after that seemed to go South for the Broncos.

    It’s crazy to think that today and Friday are the only days this week without games. Sunday is going to be pretty sparse, lol.

    Our game is one of just two in the 4pm window that day. Its certainly a new way of doing things. Having NFL games on Wednesday would have been unthinkable not long ago.

    This will be the 3rd and 4th Wednesday games in 75 years.

    KC will become the first team in 97 years to play a game on six different days of the week during a single-season.

    Damn I’m really torn on the KC/Pitt game. On paper, KC should win but the Steelers, playing at home, AND getting Pickens back? I can’t see them losing 3 in a row but they’ve lost 2 in a row to playoff teams.

    Grrrrrrr

    I think that the Steelers are the better team, and they're getting back Pickens. But the Chiefs get all the help in the world from the officials and the league themselves seem to want them to win every week, so who knows.

    Jerry Jones said that the NFL wants to be on Christmas, regardless of what day it falls on, so I’m guessing this will be the new normal moving forward.

    PS. I’ll bet the NBA is pissed - they’ve had Christmas Day all to themselves for years now.

    If you actually think about it, it sucks having an NFL game on Christmas Day.

    Even Walmart gives its employees today off but not the NFL. The entirety of four organizations, all of the employees of two stadiums, security, vendors, extra police, etc…everyone who COULD have been spending Christmas Day with their families will have to WORK on the one day typically guaranteed off.

    Yeah, its all of the "accessory" employees who I feel bad for. Plus, I'm sure, lots of fans of the teams who are watching the game, or traveling to the game, who have upset family members who don't think that its important enough to miss something else on the holiday for.

    I guess DeShon Elliot won’t be talking about “soft” players after Kareem Hunt knocked him backwards into the end zone.

    I am so happy I didn’t waste a second watching that display of raw, unadulterated offensive firepower last night. Gotta feel bad for the fans who paid to sit through that.

    I haven’t watched any football, not the Christmas Day games, not last night’s game.

    Seeing how I’d have to stream Saturday’s games and Sunday’s Dolphins game, I may miss football all together this weekend. I haven’t decided yet

    For purposes of the pool, I almost...ALMOST picked Cleveland over Miami. If Tua doesn't start today...with everything on the line, I'm going to wish I had.

    For POOL purposes that is. Today is do or die for the Dolphins. Can everyone else step up?

    I think best case, we have a game that looks like the one at New England earlier this season. With the Browns honestly not really wanting to win due to draft position and starting their #3 QB themselves, its certainly trending that way.

    Neither of the two QBs has ever started a game where his team won and scored more than 16 points. Take the under.

    Well with the weather forecast of thunderstorms, I’m expecting a lot of ground game, slips, missed tackles…all in all, a final score that could look like a 10-6 victory, for either side

    This week’s picks are going to be a bit challenging!!! Teams resting players, teams with nothing to play for, either due to playoff spots locked in or completely eliminated.

    I figure Detroit and Minnesota are going balls to the walls for the division and the number 1 seed.

    Philly? What’s the point? They’re locked in the number 2 spot.

    Kansas City and Denver? KC has NOTHING to play for where as Denver…

    Pittsburgh and Baltimore? The division hasn’t been awarded yet, right?

    Geesh, what a head scratcher!!!!
