Pigskin Pickem Thread: Week 15

12-14-2023

[RedMonqey]

Afraid it won’t do either Dallas or Detroit much good this year. Both seem to fail to “rise to the occasion” in the big games.
Well, at least Dallas does...

[dfwgator]

Well I’m resigned to the Niners winning the NFC, all I want is Detroit to win a playoff game, they haven’t done that since 1991.

[RedMonqey]

I got higher aspirations for the cowboys.
I just want them to win another Superbowl before I die.
But the way things are going, Jerrah is going to outlived me and they ain’t doing squat while he’s still general manager.

[zzeeman]

Yeah, I didn’t watch the game but was pleasantly surprised at the outcome...

At least they have the Lions at home, and hopefully they don’t screw up the last game at Washington.

I am in the camp of wanting them to not exit in the first round... then go from there!

[RedMonqey]

I watched the game last night and despite a lackadaisical performance by the eagles, it did come down to the last play(interception by the hawks)
Still, the iggles should be playing better in the home stretch.
I think it’s an locker room thing going on and the personalities involved are getting toxic.
Not an unknown phenomenas in Philly.

As for the’Boyz, it would be a great tradition to break and go beyond “One and done!”
But I’m not holding my breath!

Shout out to this Weeks winner Repealthe17thAmendment 15 games.
Honorable mention to Oldeconomybuyer with 13 games.

[Red Badger]

I got 12! My best week yet!......................

[Red Badger]

Well, The Jags ain’t used to it..................

[Red Badger]

McCarthy is the problem..................

[RedMonqey]

Who hired McCarthy?
Or Jason Garrett?
Or what’s his name Phillips?

The fish rots at the head down...

[Rummyfan]

There’s many a slip between here and the Super Bowl. San Fran is so deep and so complete.... Yet even they lost three games so they are beatable. As for the AFC I think it’s up for grabs. The Chiefs, the Ravens, the Dolphins, even the Browns... and the Bills are surging. We shall see.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

This really was a fluke, and proof that a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometime. Oddly, the game I was probably most confident of winning was the Atlanta-Carolina game. Turns out to be the only game I lost.

Crazy!

Looks to be an exciting finish! Good luck to all!

[Rummyfan]

The Eagles defense did okay last night ... they only gave up twenty points. The O should have put more than 17.

[Rummyfan]

Bills have Chargers, Pats, and Dolphins remaining. They certainly should go 2 - 1 at the least, 3 - 0 hopefully. That should probably be enough to get them in.

[Poser]

15 Wins is amazing!

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

Thanks! I got lucky, to be sure. Based on how close some of these games were, it could have been 10.

[ro_dreaming]

And, week 16

[zzeeman]

I’m not holding my breath either... before the Bills disaster my son and son-in-law were both talking ‘Super Bowl’ and ‘MVP’... I’m taking it one game at a time...

[zzeeman]

That certainly was a great week of picking! Hats off to you!
