This season has gone too fast! Only three more weeks left for NFL pick’em players. Both of my teams (Titans, Packers) don’t appear like they’re headed for postseason football. At least the NFC is full of teams who all have a legitimate chance of winning playoff games. The AFC will have some bad playoff teams, even with division winners.
A lot of good game’s on the Week 15 slate. Monday Night Football showcases a Baltimore Ravens vs Detroit Lions matchup that has crucial playoff implications for both teams. The Miami Dolphins are the first team who have a chance to take advantage of a Rob Gronkowski-less New England Patriots team. Don’t forget that the Patriots are still trying to hold off the Cincinnati Bengals for a first-round bye. The Bengals hit the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers. Are they due for anymore sideline karma?
