Since the league extended to 17 games and 18 weeks last season, bye weeks have also been extended.

We’ll get back to our full schedule of games soon enough – but at least we get an extra Monday Night game this week … … … but at the same time???

Week 14 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

15 – MIAMI over Tennessee – The Titans offense is getting a bit more exciting but they still aren’t close enough to keep up with the Dolphins

14 – SAN FRANCISCO over Seattle – This could be a let down game for the 9ers…but it wont be. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY WILL HAE AT LEAST 275 YARDS FROM SCRIMMAGE

13 – NEW ORLEANS over Carolina – Carr? Winston? Doesn’t matter, it’s the Panthers.

12 – BALTIMORE over Los Angeles Rams – Yes the Rams have seemed to pull it together a bit, but not enough to handle the long trip.

11 – Houston over NEW YORK JETS –Surprisingly enough, a switch back to a reluctant Zach Wilson won’t help the Jets this week.

10 – PITTSBURGH over New England – When you’re watching this one Thursday Night, just remember there are plenty of other games to come in just a few days.

9 – CICINNATI over Indianapolis – I feel like I should have more faith in the Colts…but I don’t.

8 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Denver – Same goes for the Broncos.

7 – KANSAS CITY over Buffalo – I made a bet in the preseason that this would be the Bills first loss of the season … … … I was wrong.

6 – Tampa Bay over ATLANTA – This is a game the Falcons SHOUD win, so they wont

5 – Jacksonville over CLEVELAND – Look for the Jaguars to take out the Ohio aggression out on the Browns.

4 – Detroit over CHICAGO – I have no good reason for this game to be so low, pure hunch

3 – DALLAS over Philadelphia – Philly seems to have some issues with the top teams.

2 – Green Bay over NEW YORK GIANTS – This matchup might be why there is a second Monday Night game on at the same time.

1 – LAS VEGAS over Minnesota – Justin Jefferson is back, but can’t play every position

Finally! They’re done!

We are heading into week 15 and FINALLY we are done with bye weeks! 16 games a week for the rest of the season! That means we’ll have more chance for points in our pools.

Of course…we do have to pick them correctly.

So let’s get to it!

Week 15 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – MIAMI over New York Jets – An easy “get right” game for the Dolphins for sure.

15 – San Francisco over ARIZONA – Not normally this easy to put a road team this high…

14 – Kansas City over NEW ENGLAND – ..or this high…but here we are.

13 – DETROIT over Denver – The Lions know they need to show the league they can be dominant again and soon

12 – NEW ORLEANS over New York Giants – It’s been a fun run for the Giants but it has to end at some point

11 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Washington – The Rams are putting everything together at the right time.

10 – SEATTLE over Philadelphia – The collapse is real! My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE EAGLES WILL NOT WIN A PLAYOFF GAME THIS YEAR

9 – INDIANAPOLIS over Pittsburgh – Remember when this would have been an exciting matchup?

8 – CINCINNATI over Minnesota – I would mention how it’s crazy to have a backup QB vs backup QB matchup…but that seems to be the norm at this point.

7 – LAS VEGAS over Los Angeles Chargers – Welcome to the world of backup quarterbacks, LA!

6 – CLEVELAND over Chicago – How many times did Justin Fields get sacked the last time the Bears were in Cleveland? Yeah … that.

5 – Baltimore over JACKSONVILLE – This one will just be fun to watch!

4 – Dallas over BUFFALO – This game could solidify Dak as our MVP this year.

3 – TENNESSEE over Houston – If CJ Stroud can go, flip this to a Texans win

2 – GREEN BAY over Tampa Bay – These two teams both have Bay in their city…so that’s exciting.

1 – CAROLINA over Atlanta – I mean, they have to be able to win another game this year, right?

Christmas is indeed the time of giving.

And this year, the NFL is giving us a full slate of games on Christmas Eve along with a full day of football on Christmas. Let’s face it, we’ll all need some sort of a distraction from our families, now we have it! (just kidding, family members who might be reading this!)

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Week 16 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – PHILADELPHIA over New York Giants – Safe to say the Tommy DeVito allure is gone now, right?

15 – KANSAS CITY over Las Vegas – I really wanted to pick the Raiders here…Christmas miracles happen, right?

14 – Buffalo over LOS ANGELES CHARGERS – I think the Raiders just scored against the Chargers again.

13 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over New Orleans – If the Rams sneak into the playoffs, they could be a team worth keeping an eye on.

12 – NEW YORK JETS over Washington – OK, let’s consider this a Christmas gift to the Jets for putting them this high.

11 – CHICAGO over Arizona – The presents this week just keep rolling, one for the Bears here.

10 – DENVER over New England – Remember when this matchup would have been exciting? (Seems like that’s the trend with Patriots games this year)

9 – SAN FRANCISCO over Baltimore – No better way to end Christmas Day than with this matchup. My BOLD PREDCITION for this week is that THIS WILL BE THE SUPER BOWL MATCHUP THIS YEAR.

8 – MIAMI over Dallas – Road Cowboys are different than home Cowboys.

7 – Detroit over MINNESOTA – The Lions know they need to close the division soon and will come out pretty motivated.

6 – Cincinnati over PITTSBURGH – It’s Mason Rudolph … so … yeah …

5 – Cleveland over HOUSTON – IF CJ Stroud plays, flip this to a Texans win.

4 – Seattle over TENNESSEE – I like Will Levis, but the Seahawks just seem to find a way to win games lately.

3 – ATLANTA over Indianapolis – Seems like a game the Falcons should lose…so they’ll pull it out.

2 – TAMPA BAY over Jacksonville – I just want every headline about this game to start with “Florida Man …”

1 – CAROLINA over Green Bay – Well Packer fans, at least you’re doing your part to screw the Bears!

Normally, being just a week away from the last week of the season, playoff positions are solidified, and we need to take into account that teams may be benching start players.

Not this year though! While some teams have clinched a berth, it seems that every playoff seed is still up for grabs – making this just another week!

Happy New Years Everyone! Have fun and stay safe this weekend!

Week 17 – HERE WE GO!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – BUFFALO over New England – Bills get a nice breather before their season finale fight with the Dolphins next week.

15 – PHILADELPHIA over Arizona – The Eagles drew a lucky end of the year schedule to say the least.

14 – JACKSONVILLE over Carolina – Talk about needing this break in the schedule…seems to be a trend with the start of our sheet this week.

13 – San Francisco over WASHIGTON – Pretty easy to say that Brock Purdy will not have another game this week like he did last week.

12 – CLEVELAND over New York Jets – Ah yes, another “in prime time because we thought Aaron Rodgers would be playing” matchup.

11 – HOUSTON over Tennessee – This is completely based on CJ Stroud starting. If he’s not, drop this down several lines.

10 – KANSAS CITY over Cincinnati – So Taylor Swift is a curse, right?

9 – TAMPA BAY over New Orleans – Watch out for Tampa! My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that NOT ONLY WILL TAMPA WIN THE NFC SOUTH, THEY WILL WIN A PLAYOFF GAME AS WELL.

8 – CHICAGO over Atlanta – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this season has gone perfect for the Bears!

7 – DALLAS over Detroit – This will be fun to see in a few weeks in the playoffs as well!

6 – Los Angeles Rams over NEW YORK GIANTS – I feel like the stands will be empty in a sign of New York solidarity with Tommy DeVito

5 – Las Vegas over INDIANAPOLIS – Could … could the Raiders make the playoffs??

4 – BALTIMORE over Miami – AFC Championship preview?

3 – SEATTLE over Pittsburgh – I feel like these two teams have been hard to predict lately…so flip a coin on this one.

2 – Green Bay over MINNESOTA –

1 – DENVER over Los Angeles Chargers – I called Russell Wilson being a bust as soon as the Broncos signed him … … … just saying.
