Will this end at Week 17, or continue into the playoffs? It'd be sort of cool if we did go into the playoffs too...

Don't know....

I only planned to do the regular season (hence the 13 of 17 weeks participation to be ranked at the end), but if more people want to do the playoffs then I'd be willing to extend the spreadsheet and keep the scores...

Or start a new thread, and use Whomps suggestion at the beginning about the elimination game.

[pawpaw]

Detriot, San fran, Buffalo? WTH:thumbdown blew my picks down the drain

and arizona too

 

[Zarn]

Looking at their home record (5-2), I would like to switch to BAL over MIN. I hope it isn't too late to change games that haven't happened yet.

 

[Darkness]

@Zarn: switch noted...

@All: Shall we also do the playoffs? (on a voluntary basis? So you don't need to participate to be in the final rankings?

[Zarn]

Thanks for changing the pick. At the same time, I really didn't get the Dallas one right, as Rivera didn't play. That one is kind of iffy.

I say yes to playoffs.

Denver at San Diego (Denver resting?)
N.Y. Giants at Oakland (OAK plays NFC EAST tough but won't be enough)
Arizona at Indianapolis (ARI is that bad)
Baltimore at Cleveland (BAL has to win a road game some time)
Buffalo at N.Y. Jets (They will be the Jets of 2004 next year)
Carolina at Atlanta (ATL always plays CAR tough at home and they wouldn't mind trying to spoil their playoff hopes)
Cincinnati at Kansas City (Kansas City is desperate)
Detroit at Pittsburgh (Is that considered a game?)
Miami at New England (It's in NE)
New Orleans at Tampa Bay (May be a slaughter)
Seattle at Green Bay (Are they resting, too?)
Houston at San Francisco (HOU seems to want that #1 pick, so...)
Tennessee at Jacksonville (JAC is in, but they still show up)
Chicago at Minnesota (Is CHI resting?)
Washington at Philadelphia (Upset of the week)
St. Louis at Dallas (Can DAL have its 5th not so close game?)

 

[Darkness]

Dallas at Carolina (Only if Marco Rivera is healthy enough to play)

You bolded Dallas, so that's the pick. The rest is a comment IMHO...
You can make only one pick for a game. Making the pick depend on players being able to play is not an option.

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Playoffs are great if you want to do them Darkness. I suggest we stick with the same style of picking.

Week 17
SATURDAY
Denver at San Diego
N.Y. Giants at Oakland
SUNDAY

Carolina at Atlanta
Cincinnati at Kansas City
