What's the over/under on a player dropping during each game this week?

Any Dead Pool fantasy football teams made up of players likely to collapse on the field? Any extra points if two players on the same fantasy football team go down the same weekend?

Any over/under on how many days after the Super Bowl the doctors will disconnect life support from any player who got a case of "Suddenly"?

[Jumper]

Remember Bo Jackson? Bengals. Yea I know bad taste but my team has some history as the franchise goes. The “Ickie Shuffle”. I’m taken them Bengals. I just hope some of those tears were also fear like deer in the headlights becasue of the JAB. Bengals by 12.

[Jumper]

I like the dead pool idea. Come on Vegas. This type of dead pool can only exist is the smokey back rooms of Washington.

If you are using the Pigskin picker to keep score of wins and losses, please note that Yahooooo! just fixed the last two games so we can select them.

KC-LV and Jax-Ten games are now up.

Be sure and choose, or at least select all the the 1 and 2 point games ...

As if anyone can figure out who is playing this week and who is not.

Go Rams! Go Lions!

[Rummyfan]

Kansas City beats the Raiders to roll into the postseason.
Jacksonville beats the fading Titans to win the AFC South.
The Bucs, rounding into playoff form, beat the Falcons.
Buffalo beats the Pats, in honor of Hamlin, and kicks the Pats into 2023.
Minnesota, despite last week's fade, beats the lowly Bears.
The Bengals beat the Ravens, who are incapable of scoring more than 20 points.
Indy beats the Texans who will wrap up the Number 1 pick. I mean, someone has to win this game (they cannot tie again can they?).
Miami beats the Jets. Unfortunately neither is going any further.
Carolina beat the Saints.
The Steelers beat the Browns. As usual.
The Chargers beat the lowly Broncos.
The Eagles rebound from two losses and beat the Giants.
The Niners keep rolling and beat the Cardinals.
The Seahawks put an end to the Rams horrible season as Baker Mayfield auditions for a 2023 job.
Dallas beats the discombobulated Commanders.
And The Packers beat the Lions to dash Detroit's playoff hopes and to qualify themselves.

Good luck everyone! And prayers for Delmar Hamlin.

And no Thursday Night game tonight, so everyone has until Saturday at 4 to get picks in.

CINCINNATI (AP/WKRC) - The NFL will not resume the Bills-Bengals game that was suspended Monday night after Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin collapsed and went into cardiac arrest on the field, two people familiar with the decision told The Associated Press on Thursday.

Both people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the league is still figuring out how to determine playoff seedings and scheduling. The NFL Players Association must approve changes.

Bills-Bengals game had major playoff implications.

Buffalo (12-3) entered Monday night needing a win to maintain the AFC’s No. 1 seed. The Kansas City Chiefs (13-3) now hold that spot. The Bengals (11-4) had a chance to earn that top seed with two more wins and a loss by the Chiefs.

The league is considering various scenarios. A decision is expected no later than Friday.

Seedings could be determined by winning percentage. In that case, the Chiefs would remain in the top spot with a victory over the Las Vegas Raiders on Saturday.

The Bills lost a thrilling overtime game at Kansas City in the divisional round last year. They beat the Chiefs 24-20 in Kansas City in October to earn a tiebreaker advantage for the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Adding an eighth playoff team to the field in both conferences and giving the top two teams a first-round bye is perhaps the most intriguing among the many possibilities.

The Pittsburgh Steelers (8-8) are among the teams that would be impacted by an additional playoff team. The Steelers must beat Cleveland on Sunday and need losses by Miami and New England to clinch a playoff spot that seemed unlikely when they began the season 2-6. Adding an eighth playoff team would give Pittsburgh a little more wiggle room to reach the postseason for the third straight year.

“That works for us,” Steelers inside linebacker Myles Jack said. “That would be good. To get another chance to get up in there so it increases our odds. I’m all for it. That’s up to them. That’d be pretty cool.”

[WhoisAlanGreenspan?]

If they add the 8th playoff team that Sunday night game Detroit @ Green Bay becomes win and you're in for the Lions. Recent history hasn't favored the Lions in GB, but this Lions team seems pretty different than what we're all used to.

Should the Lions pull it off they'd likely go play the Eagles with a wounded Jalen Hurts. Sunday should be a fun watch to end the season.

[nascarnation]

Lions are due for some success. Hope they pull it off.

[political1]

I always pull for under dogs. Go TCU, beat Georgia.
