Now, if they can just... hold on to it--
The last Thursday Night Massacree will have Allegra's Old Earlers handing the Jags another loss--
Saturday NFL action returns with Old Man Rivers teaching those young Soapy 9er whippersnappers a thing or two about playing for a coach who's time is up--
Those Godless Iggles are playing the Deadskins and as much as I hate it, I want the Rouge Spudhides to win. But they won't--
Regular Sunday fare finds a winless but wiser Johnny Football playing either the Cam Newtons or the Fig Newtons. If it is the Figs, John Boy gets his first win. If Cam is back, no dice--
I tell ya, big, I've got to pull for the Loin Chops as I do not want to go to Green Bay in the playoffs. Plus Da Bears still have Da Cutler in charge--
Allegra's Texicans cannot stop them Crab City Black Byrds--
The 2nd Greatest Aggie NFL Quarterback lays the wood to the Viqueens--
Just for fun, I'm picking the visiting Black Byrds again in the Stuper Dome--
Gadzooks, big-- How many byes do your Patty Cakes get?
My Old Dallas Texans take care of biz over the Stoolers--
Gadzooks, big-- How many byes do your Packer Wackers get?
Manning Lite has some roasted ewe--
Same song, Seven-- Same verse-- Your Waiders don't win--
The Seahags are on a roll and the QBless Red Byrds are only a bump in the road--
The last Monday NFL action of the year has Manning Heavy beating which ever Andy that shows up--
Gadzooks, it sure ain't gonna be pretty but... my Murrayless Boys pull out a win at Jerry World!
Now, all y'all get your picks in... before the Obamanation finds a way to tax them!
No soup for you! Unless... you get your picks in now!
Yes, they are spectacular! But you'll never see them... if you don't get your picks in NOW!
Why, you ask, am I wearing the Puffy Shirt? I have to... until you get your picks in!!!!
Or, you could, I suppose... drop them off in the mail--
No! Not this time of the year! Their picks would get lost... in the Festivus Rush!!!!
And people wonder why... I never get my picks in on time--
Yeah, I've yada-yada-yadaed my picks before... But I got them in on time!
And I'm going to keep on... dancing until you all get your picks in on time!
Sunday's game could be closer than you think. The Cards have gone against the order of the universe. They've developed a solid offensive line and a nascent running game (yes, THOSE Cardinals). It could be one of the signs of the Apocalypse.

Week 16
Thursday, Dec. 18
Tennessee Titans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars, 8:25 p.m. What a dog this game is! The Jags, despite their horrible record, have actually shown signs of becoming a respectable team. The Titans... oy! Jags win.
Saturday, Dec. 20
San Diego Chargers vs. San Francisco 49ers, TBD You know it's late December when the NFL starts playing on Saturday. The Bolts still have an outside chance at the playoffs, the Niners don't and are frankly in disarray. Philip Rivers is still Philip Rivers and Colin Kaepernick is still, well, Colin Kaepernick. Chargers!
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins, TBD It would be one of the biggest upsets of the year if the Deadskins win this game. They ain't gonna win this game! Iggles!
Sunday, Dec. 21
Cleveland Browns vs. Carolina Panthers, 1 p.m. The Browns have had a horrific three weeks and I don't see anything changing in Week 4 of that streak. Panthers.
Detroit Lions vs. Chicago Bears, 1 p.m. The Lions look to be cruising to the playoffs and the Bears are another team falling apart (Cutler benched for Jimmy Clausen. I didn't know Jimmy Clausen was still in the league!). But the Lions have proven over the years they cannot be counted on in December. Fingers crossed - Lions win!
Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans, 1 p.m. This is no cakewalk for the Ravens. Granted they get to face the Texans second-stringer at QB, but who knows, the Ts may substitute JJ Watt at the position before the game is over. The Ravens must win if they want to make the postseason and Flacco will deliver. Ravens.
Minnesota Vikings vs. Miami Dolphins, 1 p.m. Dolphins were looking good three weeks ago. WERE. THREE WEEKS AGO. Vikings are improving week-to-week and Teddy Bridgewater is the real deal. Vi-Queens.
Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints, 1 p.m. Falcons beat the Saints in a squeaker in the season opener in Atlanta. That won't happen in New Orleans. Plus the Saints have a secret weapon - Atlanta coach Mike Smith! Saints!
New England Patriots vs. New York Jets, 1 p.m. No way Tom Terrific and the Pats fall to the lowly Jets with home field in the playoffs on the line. Patriots.
Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, 1 p.m One of the better games of the weekend and honestly the way these two have been so up-and-down I don't know what the heck to think. But.... Big Ben at Heinz Field... maybe he goes wild again with eight TDs and Bell runs for 300 yards. Steelers.
Green Bay Packers vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1 p.m. Rodgers and The Pack rebound from last week's stinker. Packers.
New York Giants vs. St. Louis Rams, 4:05 Rams have shown a heckuva 'D' over the last month and that should be enough to hold Eli and Odell in check. Rams.
Indianapolis Colts vs. Dallas Cowboys, 4:25 p.m. Man oh man.... 'Boys really need this one but have been inexplicably mediocre at home (they lost to the Deadskins for gosh' sake!). And Murray is hurt.... Going heart over head here - Romo gets it done and Bendy's 'Boys win.
Buffalo Bills vs. Oakland Raiders, 4:25 p.m.Bills.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Arizona Cardinals, 8:30 p.m. Seahawks have absolutely shut down every offense they've faced the last month and the anemic Cards O will not be able to break through either. Seahawks.
Monday, Dec. 22
Denver Broncos vs. Cincinnati Bengals, 8:30 p.m. Peyton is rounding into playoff form (he was sick in last week's game against San Diego). Bengals are, pardon the pun, paper tigers! Broncos.
