Week 15 Prediction Games

by David Fucillo on Dec 13, 2008 4:33 PM PST

Editor's Note 10:15am: Time's running out and the playoffs are just around the corner. Make sure you get your picks in. Even if you miss the early games you can always get late picks in.

Well the good news is that I gained a point on the last playoff spot and now only trail by 6 points. The bad news is that if I maintain that pace, I wouldn't get into the last playoff spot until the conference championship games. Good times.

This weekend's football schedule brings plenty more matchups with huge playoff implications. The Falcons are in pretty close to a must-win to hang around the wild-card race. Dallas is in the same boat as they square off with the Giants. A Pittsburgh win more or less locks up the division (given the tiebreakers).

What will be interesting is how desperation starts to affect teams. More importantly, how will it affect your picks???

Honestly the only pick I feel good about is Philly. I’m especially conflicted about the Niners and the Giants. And boy howdy do I need some points this week. Here’s hoping…

Tactical pick by going for Miami..

thinking everone going to go for the niners so if the Dolphins win I’m guaranteed points? Stole my thinder, cos thats what I was going to do!

by Ninerfromacrossthepond on Dec 12, 2008 7:37 AM PST up reply actions

not neccessarily

I’m not convinced that everyone’s gonna pick the niners, although, yes, I think more people than not will. I’m just sticking to my usual routine for how I pick the games. I was gonna say more but I don’t want to try to sway people.

true that

and I’m having another terrible week, BUT I was right about the niners. I just knew that without Gore, and playing another 10 am east coast game, that our chances were slim.

this is the week I right the ship...I think

Niners @ Miami 20-24 2 east coasts wins? I hope so, but I’m playing the odds
CLE @ PHI 13-27 Eagles look good, Ken Dorsey, ’nuff said
NYG @ DAL 27-20 Owens vs QB#3, I love it.
TB @ ATL 20-17 Home streak snapped as doubters are proved right for once.
TEN @ HOU 24-13 Titans lock up homefield
PIT @ BAL 17-20 Ravens pull it out, but Steelers win division

If I gotta play, I'm gonna play 'till I win,

Wk 15 Prediction Game

Here goes for perfect score 3rd week in a row…
49ers @ Miami – 20-23. Actually think the niners will win, but playing the odds-like albertoleecho says.
Cleveland @ Philadelphia – 9-34. browns go another game without a TD.
NY Giants @ Dallas – 24-17. Giants show good they are.
Tampa Bay @ Atlanta – 27-30. Home record continues for NFC South teams, and tightens the wildcard race up nicely.
Tennessee @ Houston – 20-13. “Who wants it more” applies here, Titans going for homefield advantage.
Pittsburgh @ Baltimore – 16-24. Have picked the Steelers to win S/Bowl, but reckon the Ravens win here – Josh’s stat helped again.

To anybody who is interested in what happened here: I deleted all of the filler heckling because it was going to make it an absolute pain in the ass for me to do the scoring with all that noise in the thread.

I lied. I just found out my computer is boned tonight, and since I can’t put together all this stuff while I’m at work, it’ll be the latest prediction results ever. I’ll have it back and running tomorrow, though, so expect it then. OR, if you’re absolutely dying and can’t wait one more night, I think Fooch has a copy of the spreadsheet that I use to do all the calculations and somebody can volunteer take my place for one week.

Sorry for the delay. Like I said, just one of those weeks. I do try to get these things out as on-time as I can.
