And then there were the Fantastic Four. Sorry, @AustinTx24 but Aaron Rodgers says it's time for you to go home and R E L A X.

Will post Week 13 schedule in a few minutes. It won't be so easy...Cleveland takes a much needed week off.:eek:

Los Angeles at New England

Detroit at New Orleans

Denver at Jacksonville

Miami at Baltimore

I am happy for our favorite Oz couple, @oztennisfan and @Rafaisdabest , who both get to watch their favorite teams in our prime time and a more convenient time for them Down Under. It's not so convenient for @Feña14 to follow Seattle in prime time from the U.K.

It's not no, the game starts around 1.30am and will finish around 5am. I'll still stay up and watch though! It's important to make a statement after last weekend, plus the Panthers are playing well again. The game in Seattle last year was excellent (Olsen scored with 30 seconds left to edge it). Something similar with a different result this time round would be good :)

I'm surprised they lost so badly to Tampa Bay to be honest. I thought they were going to destroy the Bucs. They better come prepared against Carolina, although Carolina has been a terrible team at crunch time this year, not winning many close games.

Jets and colts. Ew that's an ugly game

There's 3-4 easy games to pick Sunday for you guys that just ride the browns every week so don't worry about them having a bye week

I was joking and don't like to use them continually...changed to Pittsburgh vs the OWns at the last moment two weeks ago bcoz of the Pouncey injury for Miami. Ajayi has been stoned now two weeks in a row. The NYG pick this past Sunday was more to save better teams for the stretch run and get the G-Men a safe choice. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't used Dallas vs them but I still thought the Dakboys were capable of falling to Earth by now.

I've got two obvious picks in mind but will wait for the injury reports on Thursday, although one list will be cloaked in traditional murkiness.

Wasn't pointing you out since I've seen you pick other teams. My work league has it set up so you can only pick a team once but can only pick against a team twice. We should try that next year

Yeah not looking forward to that one at all (no offense Tom ;)).

Shame they can't flex Monday nights. Lions and Saints should be interesting, same for Ravens and Dolphins.

I was surprised too, just a safety and a FG isn't good enough. The Bucs are hot, but they don't have a particularly strong defense. I think losing Prosise (can't see Rawls lasting with his running style) will be their undoing. Same for the offensive line, it's just not going to stand up against good teams in the playoffs. Still, Sunday night should be an interesting game.

FitzMagic looked great vs the Belichicks. I'd take the Jets on a small wager but not in SDL. Luck will run out...of the pocket and get hammered by one of our DL.:eek:

I hear Hilton is questionable and the Jets are pretty good against the run (could be back to back tough outings for Gore). So yes, not what you'd hope for in your first game back after a concussion if you're Luck :p

The NFL games start as early as 12:30am if in London, 3am or 5am then the later games 8:30am and 12:15pm!! So sometimes I record the Panthers if they're on during sleeping hours!! :)

No cloaking Gronk's status for Sunday and the rest of the season...back surgery today to repair a herniated disc so he's out two months. An outside chance he suits up for SB LI, if the Belichicks make it.

Siemian is in a walking boot and may be a game time decision for the Broncos in Jacksonville.

Carr's dislocated pinkie is responding well in practice. Will play in Oakland vs the Bills.

I would think so, but I still won't bet against the Patriots at home, considering the Rams just got torched for 5 passing Td's last week.
Brees in the Superdome, with Payton trying to extract some revenge on Gregg Williams for getting thrown under the Bountygate bus, can lead to some scoreboard fireworks. That halfback option pass when the Saints were up by 20 was aimed to rub someone's nose in a pile of poo.

Think I'll trust the Denver D in Jacksonville (because I don't trust Paxton Lynch at all yet). :)

Denver by 7.

Some tough games ahead for week 14!

@T1000 Don't tarry, the game starts in a few hours!

For what it's worth, it's pretty much a coin flip:

http://www.espn.com/nfl/game?gameId=400874729

Might fancy the Jets, since they're at home, but honestly it could go either way.
Detroit is the heaviest favorite, opening at -7.5 and I haven't used my silver/blue bullet yet.

Minnesota should handle the Jags but are only laying -3 on the road. Home field means nothing in Jacksonville these days...there were more Bronco fans there yesterday, walking out happy in their orange jerseys.

NYJ getting zero respect, a one point dog on the road vs the one-win 49'ers.:eek:

Will refrain from picking the Bungles over the 'OWns. I'm for the rule change suggested by @T1000 .

Let's see how the Jets do tonight to see how much that BS line changes.

If @T1000 thinks this MNF game is a tough one, how about next week's Ravens at Pats???:eek:

Pats by 17

Jets Mets islanders and nets exist to make fans miserable snd question why they didn't pick the Yankees Giants Knicks or rangers. All they do is let you down

With that said J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS BY 8

Four Cups in a row in the 80's vs one Cup since 1940...I like being that kind of miserable!:eek:

Tough sledding this week, as many of those games could go either way.

Kind of like Atlanta over LA as a "stone cold lead pipe lock."

Detroit over Chicago seems like a wise choice as well.

The Big_Dangerous stone cold lead pipe lock should be a home team in undisputed first place of their division vs that division's doormat:

Don't trust the Lions at all. Going with Minnesota by 7.
The Jags were in that game last week vs a tougher defense and could have won if Boo Boo Bortles had a better day than 19/42 and 2 picks. Their defense held Denver to 206 yards and 1/13 on 3rd down.

This is what I'm counting on. Bortles has had trouble with INT's all season so I feel pretty good picking against him.

All three of the Terrific Trio survive another week so I'll post the Week 15 schedule in a few minutes, a bit early to help with TNF's chance to go with heavy favorite Seattle at home vs the desperate Rams without the Fisher King of Mediocrity.

We also have one Saturday night game (Miami at NYJ).

If you survive this week, bear in mind the majority of Week 16 is played on Saturday due to Xmas falling on Sunday.
