Its been a blast to watch and I think this week will deliver as well. Anyone have any predictions? Upsets?

Kyle Orton throws 5 TDs and Dallas overtakes Philly. <- my fantasy upset. =(

As far as real "upsets", I think Arizona has a chance to beat SF.

Would Chargers over the Chiefs be considered an upset?

I don't know that anything could be considered an upset at this point.

Hell it wouldn't surprise me a bit if Ditka showed up on the Bears' sideline and put McMahon in to throw a game winner. This season has been so nuts that you can't predict anything.

So what are the chances that Chicago actually beats Green Bay and makes it to the playoffs?

Prediction? Gym Shorts will remain Lions head-coach because the buyout is still too high.

Upset? Gym Shorts will remain the Lions head-coach because the buyout is still too high.

McMahon looked surprisingly spry in that Overstock.com ad.

I'll go one better - STL beats SEA, ARI beats SF, NO loses, ARI beats SEA in 2nd round. Now that would be epic.

If we're just saying things, how about: Arizona makes it to the Superbowl and Fitz breaks away for 64 yard TD with 2 and a half minutes left in the 4th quarter to take the lead. And then they lose... Oh wait, that's already happened. =(

Eagles - 27, Cowboys - 23
We all know that Jason Garrett sucks. As an Eagles fan, I'm glad he's coaching the Cowboy but from a pure football fan's perspective, he's bad for the sport. I mean, Cowboys fans have got to be going batshit crazy over the last two games and how they refuse to run when the situation calls for it. I know they won the Washington game but you couldn't convince me that they weren't trying to throw that game (literally and figuratively). Tony Romo saved Garrett's job (for now) but I'd be highly surprised if the Cowboys lose, they don't fire Garrett.

And hey Phil Simms, how's one of the bottom 5 units (both O and D) in the NFL looking right now?


Minnesota is favored against Detroit. Rudeguy has the suicide hotline on speed dial. Seriously, what hasn't gone wrong? And Matthew Stafford needs to get his shit together. He's half the problem considering how poor his throws are any time you get into a big game. He needs to fix his throw mechanics ASAP.


Season is coming to a close, but I keep going back and looking at the games and think that we need a rivalry game for each team that they play each year. I know you play teams in your division twice each year but there's that rivalry game for some teams. Raiders should play SF every year. The Eagles should play Pittsburgh every year. The New Jersey Jets should play the New Jersey Giants every year. What do you guys think?

Chiefs will rest most of their starters, so unless Rivers crap the bed against backups, which is not surprising, either.

sounds like a great idea to rest starters when you're 2-4 in the last 6 games in order to prepare for the playoffs...talk about backing in
