Lawl, that is hilarious. I could say the same about my Broncos but look at our division. KC Chiefs? Please. SD is terrible, and so is Oakland

Bungals got a tough division, they aren't going anywhere - guarenteed.

<-- Broncos fan here. I love to hate on the Chiefs, but they are looking pretty good this year. Oakland looks OK - which is to say they're having an outstanding season, for the raiders. SD is all over the place.

Poor Broncos are embarassing... no hope left for this season :(

Dammit Patriots, you screwed up my SB matchup. I was feeling really good about NE vs GB pick up until yesterday afternoon. Grrr.

Oh well. At least I got Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game (which you can see from the first page people laughed at). Plus GB could still win the Superbowl. If they continue to play like they did against the Falcons, no one will stop them. I'm still quite surprised GB made it this far though after all the Injuries they had. 16 Players on IR or something. Amazing job by the Packers to get this far and to be playing as well as they are.

No more monday night games?
Who am I gonna make fun of at the sports bar tonight?

Also, I just realized the Vikings story is depressing. They went from 12-4 to 6-10. WTF?

I know. Teams have ups and downs. Sometimes really sudden ones. The Cowboys also went from a good record (11-5) to a bad one (6-10). But other teams improved a lot - the Rams went from 1-15 to 7-9, the Buccaneers went from 3-13 to 10-6, and the Chiefs went from 4-12 to 10-6.

This season was just a huge soap opera for the Vikings though. Favre retiring and then being coaxed into one more season, Randy Moss arriving and quickly leaving, the end of Favre's streak, the collapse of the Metrodome, all capped off by a disappointing 6-10 finish and the possibility of the Vikings not playing again as a Minnesota team (if the lockout stops next year's season from happening, they could move to LA if they don't work out a stadium deal by the end of 2011).

Green Bay vs Steelers. Toss up but I'm giving the edge to Green Bay.

put playoffs in the leagues next year then you can talk.

Had playoffs in the pickem league, which I prob wont do next year since it goes on too long and I always end up picking who I want to win in the playoffs rather than who I think has the best chance of winning. I saw you got the SB score almost right on btw, like one point off the actual final score, nice :thumbsup:

As for the fantasy football there's like a billion options when you start a league. I never ran one before and I never intended to, but there was no anandtech leagues like a week before the season started so I had to get some going. Can't remember who ran the anandtech free football leagues the previous years. Anyways, despite the league settings I still beat out all the others, except for that one league.

I'll be back with more predictions before next year's season starts (which it will). Probably won't be quite as accurate next year :)
