Not a total lost but like kissing your sister. My upset fell short of it's mark and The Bills let the Niners keep Cardinals from getting the first playoff birth. Carolina and Atlanta both pulled out the ipset specail. I liked both of them but stuck with the bears. Would of could of. Now the Broncos pulled the upset that i never called, I just like the points vegas was giving. The Steelers also pulled out the up set. Now that was a good chance to happen and was a very good game. The Redskins game would of been good if they would stop stalling on drives. They played to lose the game not win. They did some good things and a binch of boneheads ones also. The Colts need a def play to win their game. While Chiefs just took it to the Raiders.

Enough about the past, lets move on to the Monday Night Madness. Here's another set up from the weekend. The Home teams have been getting killed. The trend shall be kept alive. MOJO will be scoring a coupe as Johnson shall hit the pay dirt fpr Houston. I like the Jags and the over.

Sorry to the loyal bloggers i picked monday night soecail wrong. First one in a while, but I am not perfect. I really thought Jacksonville would of played better or at least I would hope Jones-Drew would of. The games was between two 4-7 teams so alot was not expected. Now the most interesting part was the half-time interview.

Drew Rosenhaus was on to talk a little about Plaxico the leg Burress. Not that he mention or could talk about alot of the situation. I mean it is going to be a court hearing so I know he needs to keep it on the down low. My main Question who is Drew's agent. I mean who will speak for him when he gets in trouble. I mean the guy must of watched arlis growing up and now is making the next step. He is a super star in the agent world. I am not hating the guy is doing for him self what must of us would love to do.

The Chargers get to play the Oakland Raiders on thursday night football. I am sure NFL Network wish they had some flex games. This could turn out to be a decent outting. Neither team has been playing well, and are coming off loses. The Chargers saw their ex back up Turner hit the D hard. While the Raiders let the Chiefs get a win.

Lets start out with my Eagles Bias. I  Personel think this is a no win situation for the Eagles. They win it's because the Eagles distractions. If they lose it is how great the Giants pulled together for the Win. So no reason to count on this game to be a big part of Eagles season. The reports will be how the Giants handle the Plaxico lose.

Now on to the picks. I will start out with The Suicide Pick. It's time to take the Patriots. I been saving them all year and time to rely on the big guns. I would of took the Chargers but that was a thursday game. The Patriots coming off a hard lose, no way Belicheat lets them lose this game. The Seahawks are just playing for next year. Their new coach will have to motavate this team as Holgrem is packing up all ready.

Like My Previse blog stated the Eagles will not get credit for the win, it was more of a distraction for the Giants. Now The Giants Have the Division as the Cowboys also lost. Now they face each other on Sunday Night Football. The Cowboys need a victory while Giants are just playing for a bye week. Surprise surprise surprise Eagles are back in the hunt. The Best part is The Eagles Destiny is in their hand. They Have the Browns On Monday Night next Week I will be there so look for a black 59 jersey. Well, Congrats to the Eagles even thought the Giants where to distracted to win. Even though the Eagles held them to 211 yards and Westbrook only had 7 less yards then their team. With ascoring drive at the end when it was offically a win for the Eagles.

Fantasy Playoffs are started but depending hoow you did your season could all ready be over. As I stated before I am a firm believer in total points to decide a winner not head to head.  I am in several leagues and the two I am most concerned about one is head to head other total points. The one that is total points over all I am top scorer and best record. The one that is head to head I was the third seed in playoffs and still had top scoring offense. I won my first playoff game and will be playing this weekend to place for higher money. Two leagues and two differnt outcomes but in both I have the most potent scoring team.

The Saints travel to Soldier field to take on The Bears. The Bears are the favorite at home. Not sur why since they have a bad passing D, and the Saints love to pass. The Bears also are able to put points on the board. So this should be a good game. Rember it is in Chicago so the weather could be an issue. The Bears and Saints are both coming off a lose and have slim hopes for post season. A lose tonight by either will send them to an early season with no chance at a playoff birth. As of right now they both are on the outside looking in.

I am personel hoping for a high scorer. Since I have Drew Bress in both of my big fantasy leagues. So that means more for the Saints more for me. The Bears have Forte and hoping he has a bad game, since he is a Rookie and is own by the second place team in my one league.....lol. Yeah For Saints yeah for my fantasy team. Yeah for the Bears equals a boo for my fantasy team.

I am gonna rant first. I am personel attacking my fellow fantasy owners. They pick up all the decent free agents and leave me nothing. I think they have secret meetings and make up plays to keep players from my team. I resent Romo and witten also.. They never give me the Ball................Oh yeah, in case you did not get the rant I am making fun of Owens. Mister I think Witten and Romo are conspiring against me. To if you did not drop some of the 50 so more passes to you maybe you would have more catches then Witten. The Cowboys are total in  between a rock and a hard spot right now. I can not believe that they are on verge of either another collapse or a great stretch of wins. Last year they had it wrapped up and December did not matter. Now the Cowboys are looking at the hardest three games and could be on the outside looking in. T O dose not need a Cowboy Santa hat and ruldolph nose to make him self look like a child. All he needs to do is open his mouth.

Week 15 Picks. Just want to say Chicago pulled the game out in overtime and Vegas buddies got a kiss from their sister. The over was a plus though. Now the best part of the games happened in overtime. Did you watch the Coin toss? They said have the D Mac announcement made. Explained the overtime rules. You know 2 time outs, Sudden death first to score wins, then If neither team scores before time expires we will have a tie!!!!!!!!Mcnabb will remember next time he has a over time game.

On to the Picks.......The Suicide Pick - Elimination Pick.

I saved The Colts all season for this game. I had it marked way before hand. The Colts are a 17 point favorite, not saying they cover against the flightless lions, but a victory should be easy. The Colts are rolling to the playoffs and Lions are headed to the draft with the best pick of all. I would trade it away and get the most i can for it. Lions track record for drafting in first round has been scary.

      Hello all Bloggers,

     I drop it like it was hot this weekend with 4 and 1 record. So take a look at the games and then look at the Monday night game. I also am tring to post a site with proof T.O. and Witten threw down over the weekend.

    Colts taking on the Lion.

Wow it was only a 10 point victory and took the colts the fourth to seal the win. I was expecting the lions to fight but this was a little scary. The Lions have a running-back in Kevin Smith, he had a decent season and a great game this week. Now the Colts are in the driver seat for the Wild card as the Titans locked up the division even thought they look like they ran out of steam.

Wow a lot of Emails..........Few subjects. Ok Giants won the Division, but it seems if they lose out and Cowyboys win out it eguals a tie in the division. Lets take a close look, deep in side the Tie breaker system.

  1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
  2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
  3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
  4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
  5. Strength of victory.
  6. Strength of schedule.

     Wow we are crawling up to the finish of 2008 in the NFL. Game Tonight and a game Saturday......Man love the NFL.

Also Pro Bowl selections where made, with a few new choices and return of some old names. I do wish they hold off on PRO Bowl selection to after the season. Name the players the final week or even during Wild Card weekend. Brett Favre made the list and has to be by name only, since his numbers where not favreariffic.......lol.

      The Indy Colts are playing The Jacksonville Jaguars. Last time these two teams meet they where both looking like imposters to the NFL. Now the Colts are rolling Jaguars are just tring to field a complete team. Jaguars lose Fred Taylor because a thumb injury. Might be the last time the Jaguars will see him suit up unless he takes a pay cut. Matt Jones final got the Suspension.....Greg Jones, Daryl Smith, Jerry Porter, and Tony McDaniel all put on IR in the last week. The Colts Do not have Marvin Harrison. 1st game missed this year after missing 11 last season. Bob Sanders and Joe Addai might play, but if Addai is on your Fantasy team I would not play him because if they get a lead  he might be on side line resting. This game also is getting close to lock a playoff spot for the Colts, they can not afford to lose this one.

If you watch the Video how can you not get motivated by these guys....lol.

I want to state to settle a few of my emails. Yes Romo's Stats has been shafted. Not as bad as Philip Rivers. Also Romo's games missed cause him Votes. The NFL is a league of what have you done for me lately. and when the prime of voting for probowl Romo was on the sidelins. If he would of been hurt earlier or in the last two weeks he most likely would of been in. Eli dose not deserve the spot, WHil Kurt and Drew DO. I can think of a handfull of Quaterbacks that stats wise are better yhen Eli and almost all the teams are playoff hunt still.

Games to watch if you do not have NFL network get to a bar.

The Dallas Cowboys taking on Baltimore Ravens. Will be a show down with both teams on playoff bubble. A Saturday night game they got right from the beginning of the season. Key to the game. Keep ware off of Flacco, Romo needs to watch out for ed reed. Romo also needs to be upright and not laying under Ray Lewis.

The Titans and Steelers playing for home field in playoffs. This game should be a barn burner. With the keys of the game , Steelers just need to play steelers ball. Get Willie Parker moving. The Titans key is to get Chris Johnson off and moving. The Steelers bottle up the rookie and it could be a long day.

First  weekend I missed games that I usually would of not picked........That's why I bet with my head not my heart. I usually do not pick the Eagles game because I will more then likly take the Eagles. This weekend I broke the cardinal rule and had two lost because of it. I also picked the Viking to not fumble it over to the Falcons. I nailed my Elimination pick of the Saints....I also had my upset game of the week Chargers.......I won the holiday pick but it was not a cover for my Vegas friends. Seeing they won by one.

I missed the the Monday night Special...Had some Holiday shopping to do and had to go to Doctors. My Leg is healing and is getting better. I Will be returning to work January and will do best to keep blogging. I was not a big fan of tonight's game, but I like the under, but these teams can easily put up points.

I have Official won my two big money Fantasy Championship........Well, I have 183 point lead in total points so baring a Miracle in fantasy land I have that in the bag. I did win my last Game in head to head match-up by 4 points and Deangelo Williams is my playoff MVP for he has helped me since they playoffs started and road my bench most of the season. Drew Brees has to be my Fantasy Season Player of the year. Now in Head to head A. Boldin was my stud player. Also Ravens, Steelers and then Vikings D keep getting me points when Ever I changed them up. I also used Pittsburgh's D to Get Brandon Marshall who has been icy hot for me....Some good some bad....lol.

First Day of Christmas my true love gave to me......

Notre Dame had a trip to Hawaii in their stockings. While I had something competing with Christmas story. So I use the sports room and watched both.....lol. I know I am a little greedy. Now on my check list is a Griswald Christmas. Nation Lampoons Christmas vacation. But back to the Notre dame game. I had my Green Brady Quinn jersey on all day waiting for 8 PM kick off. The games first drive was a little nerve racking. Then We hit the end-zone. I with the first touchdown knew then we where in for a good game. The second touchdown iced my nerves. When Hawaii first scored I  was not worried a bit. As the Irish where cruising at this point of the game. Even at 14-7 I was happy. Then we Had the Kick off return Game was over but boy was I enjoying my tv choices. Notre Dame had pressure on the Quarterback and Jimmy Clausen looked comfortable. Something he has not done in a while. Only bad side was the punt return for a TD called back due to a roughing the kicker penalty.

The Video is of our new President and his thoughs of college football playoffs.......If he gets this done I could care less how else he dose as long as the United States is standing.......lol.

Now on to some pick'em games. Now it is week 17 the hardest week beside week one to make picks.  Start first with Pro then throw a few Bowl games in to boot. 

Suicied /Elimination Pick.

 I am going for it. The Lions win not get a win this year. This would be the game they would do so.  The Lions would need a big game from Calvin Johnson who is hurting, and Kevin (might Start in fantasy)Smith would need 100 yeards and 2 td's for the Lions to have a slim chance.  Lions would also need to hold Grant under 75 yards and keep Rodgers in check....Very bleek for the Lions to even have a chance........Then again this is The NFL and any given Sunday.

Players bags are pack there ready to go. Standing out side the owners door. Hate to disturb him to say good bye. So sign me a contract and make it an extensions so I know you will not let me go. I am leaving on a jet plane. Do not know if I will be back again.

Song Dedicated to Brett Favre and the Jets.

With The Coach already fired and Brett banged up he might be fling off for the last time. I like to see him back and see with preseason can he do better in New York.  Also depends on the new coach.....to Bad Mike Holgrem is taking the year off. Jets are in New Jersey/New York so pretty big market, should be easy to fill that spot.

Colts, Chargers and Eagles........Where all thought to be dead before making a run in to the playoffs.

The Colts Sitting out at a bad pace. Losing the First game to the Bears. Got a game back when the squeaked past the Vikings.  The Jaguars slash and dash them for a victory. So at the Bye week the Colts where at 1-2. The Bye week did not help the injury prone Colts. They where down big to the Texans. The Games was basically over.......Then  Sage Rosenfels turn the ball over three times and Texans blew a 17 point lead. The next week Colts got to play the Ravens D.  The Colts lit up the board and the Ray Lewis was very upset.

Falcons Move on and let Vick go free.

The Falcons had to change the teams philosophy.  The had a run and gun QB and now they where searching for a new QB. Bobby Petrino Quits on the Team, during the season. So they have a good draft position and get the Replacement QB they needed.  They Also bring in a Starting RB that was a back up to LT. Now they are ready for a rebuilding year or so we thought,
