Ashley wrote: Congrats Viking! Thanks for your encouragement. I am enjoying playing no matter how it comes out.

I have come to the conclusion though that since I have a lot more losses than wins that I should have picked the opposite each time and I would have been higher up.

And you are right it is much harder to pick for Week 19. Will have to give it some thought.

Thanks RenegadeCJ for all your work.

Here's to a bright and beautiful year!

Who does Denver want to play? KC or Pittsburgh? I think the Steelers have a better tradition of winning, but KC is on a streak! Here you go Big Ben!

Houston
Cincinnati
Minnesota
Washington

With any luck I'm on to something and Denver goes all the way to the Super Bowl with their home field advantage.

Kansas City.

ok, I need to stop overthinking this one. This is the hardest game of the week. and I am going to go against my instincts and what people are sayingand I did three coin tosses and they all came up Cincinnati.

so my first two pics are Kansas City and Cincinnati

freebird wrote: Actually, I think this 1st game is the hardest to pick. Both are hungry for a post-season win and I definitely could see this game being won by 3 points. I think the deciding factor comes down to how Hoyer-Hopkins play.

I'm picking Houston +3

I'll make my other selections, later.

Okay, I'm going to start with KC who I think is going to obliterate Houston and of course Cincinnati because even though we are missing our ginger, we can and will beat the Steelers now that it counts. Don't let me down boys, I'm banking on having a heart attack with your excruciating play calling (gorram draw play on a 3rd and 20 grrrr) during the Superbowl in which we'll be playing.
#shouldgoUPmylifeinsurance #takingcareofmyfamily LOL

For the NFC games, ugh that first one is a tough pick. I'll go with Minnesota only because I'd rather see them win. And since Green Bay has been so inconsistent lately, I'll pick Washington.

Good luck everyone! May we have good games to enjoy, cold drinks, and fun friends with which to watch!

I hope so freebird! At this rate, I definitely have not had enough to drink (McCarron just threw an interception...ugh).

C'est la vie. There's always next year!
