ChartIt’s kind of like picking pre-season games at this point but here goes… (For the record I have gone 10-6, 9-7, 9-7 the last 3 weeks.  Don’t know where that has been all year but you know it feels good to be ending on a good streak.)

Picks 
NE (-14.5), BUF (+7.5), CAR (-3), MIA (+3), GB (-3), HOU (-6.5), SEA (+3), SF (+10),
TEN (-6.5), DAL (+8.5), PIT (-4), MIN (-3), SD (-7.5), ARI (-6), KC (+6)

SurvivorThe final week of the 17 game regular season is upon us.  Although many survivor leagues wrapped up weeks ago, there are still a few leagues that are going strong.  It has gotten very difficult as we enter the lame duck week of the season.  There are only a few teams with something to play for like Tennessee, Washington, Cleveland, Minnesota and New Orleans.  There are a couple of teams (PIT and SD) that are trying to avoid playing JAX in the first round too.  And there are a few teams playing hard for pride like Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco and Miami.  Given that you have taken most of the top tier teams to survive this long, you may need to take a chance on a lesser team.  To this point I would pick San Diego, Philadelphia, Washington, Cleveland and Chicago.

Warning of the Week: Watch out for Cincinnati and NY Jets this week.  Both are playing teams that are working hard to be noticed in places where change is bound to happen.
