Time for a standings update and frankly, it\u2019s not pretty. I went 8-8 in weeks 11 and 12 while Al went 10-6 both of those weeks. Then there was last week, where I went 6-10 and Al went 10-6. It\u2019s a merciless beating. Al had a correction some time back and probably should get credit for another game somewhere, but it completely doesn\u2019t matter, I\u2019m now a full 20 games behind with only three weeks left plus playoffs and bowls… I think it\u2019s out of reach. 92-99-1 to 112-79-1. I\u2019m really not doing all that badly overall, just a little below .500, but Al is just on fire this year. <\/p>\n
But, for the sake of completeness…<\/p>\n

\nSaints @ Atlanta(+10)<\/em>
\nYeah, I don\u2019t see the Falcons doing much better this week against the Saints than they did the week before against the Eagles.<\/p>\n
\nMan, the Lions\u2019 injury list is… scary. In particular, Stafford is out, and it looks like Suggs might be back for the Ravens. I don\u2019t like giving this many, but without Stafford I can\u2019t see how the Lions will keep up.<\/p>\n
\nSpread seems to small, since the Bears aren\u2019t very good and the Packers have really improved of late. I think they\u2019ll be good to cover this.<\/p>\n
\nThe whole family is going to this game.You know, the Texans should cover this easily, but really I\u2019m not even sure that they\u2019ll even win. Take the points.<\/p>\n
\nI think that Denver has turned it back around and that they\u2019ll make the playoffs… but they still aren\u2019t a good bet on the road against the Colts.<\/p>\n
\nSo, the Jags have the better record, but I\u2019ve watched their last couple games and I have no faith in them at all. I\u2019ll take the points.<\/p>\n
\nMan, I have absolutely no idea. OK, so… logic. The Bills can\u2019t stop the run but they\u2019re pretty good against the pass, and the Chefs can\u2019t run, so I guess that gives Buffalo an edge. <\/p>\n
\nAwesome, I love getting almost a full TD here. The Bengals don\u2019t have the offense that the Cardinals do, but they rock on defense and now that the blueprint has been supplied, this game could easily be 10-7. <\/p>\n
\nOK, so I know the Pats have been awful lately, but the problem they have is that they simply cannot cover people. But the Panthers can\u2019t pass, so…. nope, I still can\u2019t do it. Take the points.<\/p>\n
\nI keep taking the Bucs because of the points, and I keep getting shafted. No more. Jets.<\/p>\n
\nRams @ Tennessee(-13)<\/em>
\nWell, the Rams are still awful. Maybe the Titans came back to earth a little last week, but they\u2019re still a lot better than St. Louis. Give the points.<\/p>\n
\nYou know… this might even be a game worth watching, but nobody will because everyone outside DC and the Bay Area will get the Chargers and Cowboys. Oh, well. I actually like the Redskins on the road; I think they have the defense to carry the day.<\/p>\n
\nAgain, I\u2019m thrilled to get points here. Anybody looked at the Cowboys\u2019 record in December of late? How about the Chargers\u2019 record in December? Yeah.<\/p>\n
\nEagles @ New Jersey Giants(+1)<\/em>
\nSo, the Giants are getting better, but the Eagles are kind of on cruise control. I think Philly is just better… I\u2019ll give the point.<\/p>\n
\nCardinals @ San Francisco(+3.5)<\/em>
\nLook out when Arizona gets on a roll. This is starting to look at lot like last year when things started to click for them. The Niners are done. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
