And my Boys are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... close.
Well, football fans, in Thursday Night action I'm calling it for the Resurgent Rams over Arid Zona--
On Sunday the Stoolers will pluck the Falcoons
Crab City's Black Byrds will de-Jag the Jags--
Gadzooks, big, RELAX! Arron Boy won't even break a sweat beating the Bills
If Cam's car wreck keeps him out, the Bucking Ears will get a win--
My thinking here... is that Johnny Football finally hits the field and beats Bad Andy--
Okay, Viqueens, here is your chance to do my Boys a solid and beat the Loin Chops--
Allegra's Texicans help my Boys also by wearing down Lucky Boy and his horsey friends--
Sorry, Seven, blood is thicker than Left Coast Funny Water-- Your Waiders get beat my my Old Dallas Texans--
Since there will be two Great Aggies NFL QBs playing this weekend, I'm calling for both to win--
Manning Lite runs wild over the Deadskins--
While Manning Heavy does the same to the Diegoskins--
Allegra's Old Earlers put another nail in Rex's coffin--
The Seahags did my Boys a favor last week, so I say they get a breather against the Soapy 9ers--
Sunday Night my Boys keep their road record perfect... beating them Godless Iggles!

Panthers
Bengals
Lions
Colts
Chiefs
Patriots
Redskins
Broncos
Titans
Seahawks
Eagles (sorry)
Bears
BUT this is the time of year when teams who have clinched slow down and teams which are out pack it up. Makes predictions iffy.
Don't bet on it!
Don’t worry after that shock over beating 49ers I think Raiders go back to losing ways
The Steelers have been miserable on the road against crappy teams. Hopefully, the scent of a division title will snap them out of it this week. With any luck, Pittsburgh can put up an early lead while the Falcons are still trying to undo the wedgie from their collective jockstrap after their Green Bay trip.
The pre-convicted felons of Baltimore get a late bye week, more or less, against the Jaguars.
It's time to stop pretending the Bills are good, right? They won't even have the elements in their favor as Green Bay laughs at that idea.
Tampa/Carolina - who the **** cares? Take Tampa at home with the Panthers dealing with "Crash" Newton's condition.
IT'S MANZELL MANIA! For about 10 minutes or so, at least. Cincy holds onto their slender AFC North lead.
Lions.
Colts.
Pats.
I think we're not taking this team's offensive name seriously enough... no, not the Washington Football Team™, but rather the cruel mockery of those afflicted with gigantism. That said, the only real thing to wonder is if the Redskins offense can actually manage to score anything.
A Chargers win over Denver would make this division interesting. However, it isn't interesting, and Denver looks to lock up the #2 seed soon.
Hey, look, ESPN is showing high school football on a Sunday afternoon! Oh, it's CBS. And technically, an NFL game. Huh. Go figure. Jets on a coin flip.
Two teams going in opposite directions here: the Seawhiners keep pace with the Cards.
Cowgirls and Iggles. And they can't both lose, which is a shame. Balancing how much I hate Philly vs. the knowledge that the deeper into December we go, the more Dallas turns into crap. Crap beats hate in the end, Philly by a FG.
Monday night looks like an excellent time to catch up on my DVR, because Saints and Bears only reminds us how good these teams were not that long ago. But boring now, and the Bears win in dull, plodding fashion.
Cardinals in the matchup of St. Louis teams, past and present
Steelers, because one team has to win
Ravens, for the same reason
Browns if Johnny can lead the team
Packers
Panthers, and hope Cam is OK
Colts
Chiefs win easy at home over Jokeland
Pats, because if you can’t beat B-more, you can’t beat Brady
Giants
Chargers
Lions
Jets
Seahawks
Eagles
Bears
Packers win Super Bowl.
That's going to be difficult when I think we've signed the cheerleaders to play with everyone on IR.

Week 15
Thursday, Dec. 11
Arizona Cardinals vs. St. Louis Rams, 7:25 p.m. Resurgent Rams versus the offense-less Cards. Say what you will about the Lambs, but they have one heckuva D. Rams win.
Sunday, Dec. 14
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Atlanta Falcons, 1 p.m. Which Steelers team will show up? The powerhouse that has demolished the Bengals and Colts recently. Or the one that managed to lose to the lowly Jets. With a playoff spot virtually on the line, I'm betting the powerhouse. Steelers.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m. Must-win for the Poe-Birds if they want to make the post season. If there's anything I've learned this season it's that there's no sure thing (Oakland - SF last week; Pitt - NYJ earlier, and Redskins - Cowboys earlier still). But I don't think the Ravens blow this one. Ravens.
Green Bay Packers vs. Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m.Aaron Rodgers and the Pack roll on. Packers.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers, 1 p.m. No Cam for the Panthers this week, who miraculously came alive last week to pound the Saints. But even without Mr Newton, the Panthers win.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns, 1 p.m. Who can figure out either of these teams? Bueller? Bueller? What the hey, let's go with Johnny Football making some crazy plays at home to keep the Browns season alive and totally throw the AFC North into a mathemetician's wet dream with the playoff implication permutations.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions, 1 p.m. Lions showed something last week. Maybe they have finally figured out how not to tank in December. Lions.
Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m. Luck and the Colts just have too much for the Texans to overcome, no matter what miracles JJ Watt performs. Colts.
Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 1 p.m. Raiders have used up their Cinderella games and KC will not play as poorly as they did in the teams' previous meeting. KC.
Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots, 1 p.m. Patriots welcome the Dolphins to the big-boy league and further dim their dying playoff hopes. Patriots.
Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants, 1 p.m. The Giants are not very good. The Deadskins are just plain awful. Giants win in one of Tom Coughlin's final games at the helm. G-Men!
Denver Broncos vs. San Diego Chargers, 4:05 p.m. Against all logic, the Chargers come up big at home. Chargers!
New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans, 4:05 p.m.Jets have become very adept at finding ways to lose. No difference this week. Titans!
San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks, 4:25 p.m.A must win for the Niners but they aren't gonna get it (I think both Harbaugh and Kaepernick are in their final days in SF). Seahawks.
Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 8:30 p.m. A tough one.... 'Boys don't have the defense Seattle does so I doubt they will hold the Eagles offense in check as the Seahawks did. They do have a power back and can stay with Philly in a shoot-out. Like the Iggles at home though.... Eagles.
Monday, Dec. 15
New Orleans Saints vs. Chicago Bears, 8:30 p.m. This must have looked like a good match-up back in August. But now it's December! No way I can take Jay Cutler over Drew Brees, no matter how inconsistent the 'Aints have been the last six weeks. And weather be damned! Saints!
Bendy, Bendy, Bendy. We both know that when the Cowboys have their playoff destiny in their hands, they go into choke/implode mode. I’d like to be wrong on this, but I doubt it.
Week 15
Arizona Cardinals vs. St. Louis Rams, 7:25 p.m. (That one was easy!)
Sunday, Dec. 14
Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Atlanta Falcons, 1 p.m.
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m.
Green Bay Packers vs. Buffalo Bills, 1 p.m.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers, 1 p.m.
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns, 1 p.m. (Manziel will be picked off too many times to win that one)
Minnesota Vikings vs. Detroit Lions, 1 p.m.
Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts, 1 p.m.
Oakland Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 1 p.m.
Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots, 1 p.m.
Washington Redskins vs. New York Giants, 1 p.m.
Denver Broncos vs. San Diego Chargers, 4:05 p.m.(The dream Super Bowl would be Manning versus Rodgers, but that's a long way to go)
New York Jets vs. Tennessee Titans, 4:05 p.m.
San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks, 4:25 p.m.
Dallas Cowboys vs. Philadelphia Eagles, 8:30 p.m.
Monday, Dec. 15
New Orleans Saints vs. Chicago Bears, 8:30 p.m.
You can thank me later, Bender.
A few years ago it was “Suck For Luck”
Now this year for the Jets and Bucs, it’s “Suck For the Duck.”
