As a San Francisco 49ers fan, I am hanging my head low today. I have already been berated on Facebook by friends (like I had anything to do with the Niners losing) but it's simply a sad day. Not to mention, in my fantasy football league playoffs, I lost as well thanks to guys like Drew Brees, Jason Witten and the Niners D all sucking donkey balls (and those are just the worst ones, most of my guys under-performed compared to their projections). I was the 2nd best team all season and out in the first week of the playoffs. Kiss that $40 good bye.

[Pengwin7]

Yeah, that's something else. Five game lead with only 12 games to go. Looks like Pengwin or I for the title.

Here are the remaining schedules:

Broncos
@rams
@bengals
home raiders

Cardinals
@chargers
home seahawks
@49ers

Lions
home vikings
@bears
@packers

Raiders
@chiefs
home bills
@broncos

Patriots
home dolphins
@jets
home bills

Ravens
home jaguars
@texans
home browns

Texans
@colts
home ravens
home jaguars

Vikings
@lions
@dolphins
home bears

I like my chances.

I like your chances too.
I'm hoping to pull off a 3/2/2/0 = 7/12... though I'm not sure Zona can win 2.
You'll likely go around 3/2.5/1.5/1 = 8/12... the .5 is since you'll get a sure win in the BAL-HOU game.

If MIN beats DET... it's over for sure.
Best case for me is that OAK can win their home game vs. BUF... that would give me 8/12.
If I'm really lucky, ARI wins all three... and I have a chance at 9/12.

I bungled one piece of that schedule above, the Broncos next game is at the Chargers, the Cardinals play @St. Louis. But honestly, I think that might be worse for you. Arizona doesn't look like they can beat this Rams team on the road.

We have the same projection, by the way.

Yeah, I neglected to update the specific team wins for Pengwin and I.

Ahh, gotcha.

The Good News: Arizona Won!
The Bad News: Arizona's starting QB is now a guy named Ryan Lindley. Super. Sounds like a Dawson's Creek character.

[Bomm Bastic]

What ever the outcome, this was fun. Thanks for setting this up, MD, already looking forward to next year.

Yep, it's been good. Might have to do something similar for baseball season.

[doulos]

Yeah, I enjoyed this. Gave me a reason to check some boxscore, and the entry curve was low enough that a newbie like me could feel competitive. Thanks for running it!

[Pengwin7]

Oh... for sure.
That does sound fun.

Another 3-1 week for me!
Still in it!
Though the Lions gave me a scare... it would've been OVER had they lost.

Two brutal remaining weeks for my teams.
Especially Zona with their QB3.
I'll take the (deceiving) one WIN lead with two weeks to go.

Week 15 Standings

metaldude 33-23 (New England 11, Baltimore 9, Houston 7, Minnesota 6)
Bomm Bastic 29-27 (NO 6, KC 8, Miami 7, Buffalo 8)

Zorro 25-31 (Seattle 10, NY Giants 5, San Diego 8, Jacksonville 2)
DaydreamN 24-32 (SF 7, Chicago 5, Dallas 10, Tennessee 2)
Axeman33 24-32 (Indy 10, Atlanta 5, Washington 3, St.Louis 6)

Some of the numbers were wonky the past couple of weeks these should be on the money as I double-checked this time. Bomm still technically in the hunt though this is essentially a two-horse race.

[Bomm Bastic]

Ya know it's going to be a good week when the Bills beat the Packers! Unreal season...I'll be more than happy w/third place should I earn it.

[Pengwin7]

How crazy is an 11-11-10-2 line?
It's interesting because I could have made "best pick possible" on all three of my "choices"... and could still lose?!?
