CCL Messageboard

Week 13 was a bummer for me, started with a Dallas win and ended with a Redskins loss and probably the end of their season. Yeah I know, suck it up and move on!

Week 13 was better for jbeeman85 who won with an 11-5 mark. There were 8 unanimous selections and we were collectively 4-4. We all got Rams over Lions, Chiefs over Raiders, Titans over Jets and Seahawks over 49ers and missed Colts over Jaguars, Panthers over Buccaneers, Bears over Giants and Packers over Cardinals. There were numerous attempts at being the only one to get a game right but the only one who succeeded was Jeremy who got the Chargers over the Steelers.

I now have the longest Lock Pick streak but that is looking shaky unless I change my current choice. (Redskins)

Was at the Titans vs Jets game this past Sunday. Great weather for a December game, stayed in the 60s officially (probably wind chill in the 50s but it's December). A game that the Titans should have won handily turned into a quite an exciting game (I prefer my teams to win a "boring" game where they win so big non-fans turn the game off).

And I just got a text from someone offering me tickets to the Titans vs. Jaguars game tomorrow night
Going to be in the 30s tomorrow night. Time to layer up. Bit chilly but nowhere near the wind chills that the Titans vs. Jaguars game in Week 17 last season, think that sucker was in the single digits, so many layers took forever in the restroom.

That's why you wear the catheter attached to a balloon.

Warm the legs right ? Got to have a splitter to lead to two balloons though, one for each leg.

Exactly.

Jacksonville
Kansas City
Houston
Carolina
Green Bay
New Orleans
Buffalo - Lock
New England
LA Rams
NY Giants
Denver
LA Chargers
Arizona
Philadelphia
Pittsburgh
Seattle - 50 points

I've been procrastinating making my picks for this week because I REALLY don't want to pick the Ravens/Chiefs game.

WEEK 14

Thursday
Jacksonville @ Tennessee

Sunday
Baltimore @ Kansas City If Flacco hadn't been limited Wednesday, I think I would have gone with the Ravens. We need more than the last 3 weeks to win this.
Indianapolis @ Houston
Carolina @ Cleveland
Atlanta @ Green Bay How about that, the two teams with the most embarrassing losses last week play each other this week.
New Orleans @ Tampa Bay
NY Jets @ Buffalo
New England @ Miami
LA Rams @ Chicago
NY Giants @ Washington
Denver @ San Francisco LOCK
Cincinnati @ LA Chargers
Detroit @ Arizona
Philadelphia @ Dallas
Pittsburgh @ Oakland Despite no James Conner and despite Pitt being crap on the west coast... still don't trust the Raiders.

Monday
Minnesota @ Seattle 47 points

You might want to ask the Bears about that...

To be fair, the Bears loss didn't cost their head coach his job.

If I'm looking at it right, seems lcfrick and Howie are currently tied at 8-7 with both picking Minnesota. I'm sitting at 7-8 picking Seattle but my point total is smack dab in the middle of what lc and Howie picked for point total. That being said:

Come on Seattle, win tonight with the game having exactly 48 combined points. Or at least less than that, can't keep letting Howie pull away now can we ?

I picked the Vikings? What in the hell is wrong with me.

Kirk Cousins career record on Monday Night = 0-6


Good thing I built up an early lead because it's dwindling fast...

Those Seahawk uniforms burn the retinas.

Well, that was a mediocre week for all of us. At least the weekly winner broke even this week. 3 more weeks to go.

This is a tough time of the year to pick games. You have to figure out which teams have just plain given up and are starting to plan their January vacation (Redskins) and which teams are still trying to win.

Both Saturday games will count towards Prime Time making a total of five this week.

WEEK 15

Thursday
LA Chargers @ Kansas City

Saturday
Houston @ NY Jets
Cleveland @ Denver

Sunday
Arizona @ Atlanta
Tampa Bay @ Baltimore
Detroit @ Buffalo
Green Bay @ Chicago

Kansas City
Houston- LOCK
Cleveland

Chicago
Cincinnati
Indianapolis
Washington
Minnesota
Tennessee
Seattle
New England @ Pittsburgh (not sure yet )
LA Rams
New Orleans - 61 pts

WEEK 15

Thursday
LA Chargers @ Kansas City Mini-rant. Ravens have a short week (Saturday game) to go on the road to the west coast in week 16 against the Chargers who will have extended rest. Whoever made the schedule needs to be dragged into the street and shot for making that match-up. I get having a short week on the road... but to the west coast AND against a team with extended rest? Come on.

Saturday
Houston @ NY Jets
Cleveland @ Denver (But I'll be rooting for Denver... because the Browns have a legit path to win the division if they win out)

Sunday
Arizona @ Atlanta
Tampa Bay @ Baltimore If the Ravens play Flacco and Jackson properly, this could be a 40 point win.
Detroit @ Buffalo
Green Bay @ Chicago
Oakland @ Cincinnati
Dallas @ Indianapolis
Washington @ Jacksonville The "What happened to them?" match-up
Miami @ Minnesota
Tennessee @ NY Giants
Seattle @ San Fransisco
New England @ Pittsburgh Pats are going to be so (banned) after that loss to the Dolphins... which is good for the Ravens.
Philadelphia @ LA Rams

Monday
New Orleans @ Carolina LOCK 51 points (Still theoretically possible for me to tie for 3rd place in lock picks.)

Thursday
Kansas City

Saturday
Houston
Denver

Sunday
Atlanta
Baltimore - LOCK (was going with Houston but got to pick different than Howie to maybe catch up in Lock standings)
Detroit
Chicago
Cincinnati
Indianapolis
Jacksonville
Minnesota
Tennessee
Seattle
New England
LA Rams

Monday
New Orleans - 43 points

Lackluster week for all, the winner was lckfrick at 9-7 and the only one over .500, and we all missed our Lock Pick. Jeremy pads his lead in Prime Time by going 2-1 while the rest of us were 1-2.

Not a great week for Unanimous Picks. There were 8 and we went a collective 3-5.

Correct: Chiefs over Ravens; Saints over Buccaneers and Chargers over Bengals.

Incorrect: Texans over Colts; Bills over Jets; Patriots over Dolphins; Broncos over 49ers and Steelers over Raiders.

After last week, everything is just a guess.
Made a change to my picks. It sounds like Carson Wentz won't be playing and as my Eagles pick was a bit of a reach anyways, it now the Rams for me. Now watch Philly win.
