U Coach Mark Richt brushed off lovely sideline reporter Molly McGrath at halftime. Dude must have been pissed.

[campaignPete R-CT]

Imp,

U frozen indoors?

This is ruining my winter ...

[darkangel82]

I noticed. He was ticked about something.

[Impy]

I’m ok in my apartment. My mom’s has a window that needs sealing.

Gas bill’s gonna be a kick in the nuts. It warmed up a little, just long enough to dump some snow on us and get frigid again, gonna be a long cold week.

[moehoward]

Good to see general consensus on the Chiefs and the Seahawks.
I’ll be listening to the Chiefs and watching the Hawks.

[pepsi_junkie]

No pithy rationale this week because I'm late getting my picks in and because it's a week where a lot of teams have nothing to play for (either eliminated already or locked into their playoff seed already) and hence we've got a weird mix of desperate teams and teams playing like it's the preseason. Handicapping in this environment comes down to gut feel. And I started the season with a 3-13 week so I feel I'm due for a repeat. So here goes:

• Browns at Steelers: Steelers win (becauase .. Browns).
• Packers at Lions: Lions win
• Redskins at Giants: Redskins win
• Cowboys at Eagles: Cowboys win
• Jets at Patriots: Crazy upset pick - Jets win
• Bears at Vikings: Vikings win
• Texans at Colts: Texans win
• 49ers at Rams: Rams win
• Raiders at Chargers: Chargers win
• Cardinals at Seahawks: Seahags win
• Chiefs at Broncos: Chefs win
• Panthers at Falcons: Falcons win
• Bengals at Ravens: Ravens win
• Bills at Dolphins: Bills win
• Saints at Buccaneers: Saints win
• Jaguars at Titans: Titans win

Happy new year everone!

I’m the only one that picked Denver over KC (due to Alex Smith sitting out), we’ll see!

[big'ol_freeper]

So I shan't forget...

[moehoward]

And they are at Mile High or whatever they call it now.

[Impy]

Coleman, c’Mon son.

[darkangel82]

Yeah, he’s an @ss. Not watching anymore cause of Sun. Ticket. Don’t know if I will renew it for 2018.

[Impy]

Sorry. In the word’s of John McCain, it’s always darkest before it’s totally black.

Giants beat the Skins, good for them. No one gets her win for the week.

Boys shut out the Eagles 2nd team 6-0.

Bears drop to 1-11 in the NFC, 0-6 in the division as the Vikes cap a fantastic regular season #FireRyanpace

Pats roll

Lions roll when it doesn’t count

Lowly Colts nip Lowly Houston

Now for the more important games

[Impy]

Bills are killing Miami

Ravens trailing, stars aligning for BUF?

Chargers winning but appear doomed. Titans winning.

[Impy]

Fact from twitter: Every team in the NBA has made the Conference Semis (2nd round) since the Bills last made the playoffs.

[dfwgator]

WOW! Cincinnati gets the TD on 4th down. Bills just might be in!

[dfwgator]

YES!!!!! The Ravens are out!!!!!!

[Impy]

It’s over!

Pete!!!!!!!!!!!

[dfwgator]

I’m happy for the Bills. Been a long time. And I’m doubly glad it’s at the expense of the Ravens.

[dfwgator]

Yep, at least Seattle and Baltimore are both out. That’s all I wanted.
