    This week has some unexpectedly interesting games.
    Also WHERE the HELL was this Colts team in the past few games when we needed it?

    The Ravens @ Browns game is one big horrific mess. An absolute mess of officiating and sloppy play.

    Edit: Nevermind. Jackson and Andrews are back in business.

    Edit #2: Jackson and Andrews strike again!

    I was getting a bit worried there but 138 yards & 2 TD in under 2 Mins has restored my faith in them

    I can't believe how damn lucky the Browns have been this game. Baker could have easily been 0 TD, 2 INT right now. On another note, Fitzpatrick is playing out of his mind at the end of a season for a change. I wonder if the Dolphins might get some good picks out of it. While I'm happy with the games we've had to pick from this week, there are some premiere Tank Bowls going on this Sunday. Giants @ Redskins. Bengals @ Dolphins. Cowboys @ Eagles.

    Lol so basically the whole NFC East.

    Speaking of games to pick, I kinda want us to fight over completely meaningless match ups next week. Just for the chaos-randomness of it.

    I had all playoff scenario games lined up until I saw this, hahahaha. And I kinda like it, especially considering we'll be spending the several couple weeks with playoff teams only.

    So.... put it to vote!
    If I hear from enough of you I'll go with whatever you prefer:

    Option A - The Playoff Scenarios
    Eagles @ Giants
    Titans @ Texans
    Chargers @ Chiefs
    Redskins @ Cowboys
    Steelers @ Ravens
    Colts @ Jaguars
    Raiders @ Broncos
    49ers @ Seahawks


    Option B - The (mostly) Draft Scenarios
    Browns @ Bengals
    Bears @ Vikings
    Dolphins @ Patriots
    Jets @ Bills
    Packers @ Lions
    Saints @ Panthers
    Falcons @ Buccaneers
    Cardinals @ Rams

    edit: Please also weigh in on whether or not to institute Thankspicking rules, where non-playoff teams (yellow highlight) would be worth 2 points if victorious against a playoff contender.

    My vote is to use the 6 teams that are evenly matched from both lists and add Steelers @ Ravens since they are both (potentially) playoff bound + it's a classic matchup. I think this would be the most fair solution.

    That would make the full list as:

    Titans @ Texans
    Steelers @ Ravens
    Colts @ Jaguars
    49ers @ Seahawks
    Browns @ Bengals
    Falcons @ Buccaneers
    Cardinals @ Rams

    I could get behind this. It's got the heavy hitters like 49ers @ Seahawks, while still having the random games like Falcons @ Buccaneers.

    Week 16 Results:

    Addi Ras - 5
    Alamact - 5
    DarthSnow - 5
    Capt. Andrew Luck - 4
    Meister Yoda - 4
    Teline - 4
    Dork Lord of the Bith - 3
    Trevor - 3

    PrincessLeiaCB3 - 3
    Maximus - 0

    You kinda did for the first two... those were on Saturday! Sorry buddy. Blame Al and his Sith mind tricks.
    (pwned)

    ...but at least you didn't pull a @Maximus and forget to pick the entire weekend.
    :oops:


    Current Standings:

    1st - @Alamact : 84 pnts (last week: 1st, = )
    2nd - @Trevor : 79 pnts (last week: 2nd, = )
    T-3rd - @teline : 76 pnts (last week: 3rd, = )
    T-3rd - @DarthSnow : 76 pnts (last week: T-4th, +1 )
    5th - @Capt. Andrew Luck : 75 pnts (last week: T-4th, -1 )
    6th - @Dork Lord of the Bith : 70 pnts (last week: 6th, = )
    7th - @Addi Ras : 69 pnts (last week: T-7th, = )
    8th - @PrincessLeiaCB3 : 67 pnts (last week: T-7th, -1 )
    9th - @Maximus : 61 pnts (last week: 9th, = )
    10th - @Meister Yoda : 54 pnts (last week: 10th, = )

    And so it shall be! So we are all clear, these were all the most evenly matched teams, therefore every team is worth the traditional 1 point. No Thankspicking rules this week (Sorry Dork!)

    Last week of the regular season! Damn does the season fly...
    (Note that all games in the final week take place on Sunday)

    Week 17: Sun, Dec. 29th:

    Sunday Early:
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Jawas @ Zabraks
    After a thorough thrashing by the relentless Sith, the eliminated Jawas (6-9) seek to end their suffering by beating up some hornless Zabraks (1-14).


    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Interceptors @ Tuskenraiders
    The intangible intermittent Interceptors (6-9) intercept the toughened Tuskenraiders (7-8) trying to close out their season without a losing record.


    Sunday Afternoon:
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Mandalorians @ Reeks
    The dashing Mandalore from Tanne Hill leads the Mandalorians (8-7) in a fateful final push against the vile Reeks (10-5) to secure entrance in the grand battles yet to come.



    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Droidekas @ Sith
    In a desperate bid to replenish their numbers, the steel factories of the Droidekas (8-7) churn out a battalion to overwhelm the reserve forces of the Sith (13-2), barring the way forward.



    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Troopers @ Wookiees
    With trophy and glory behind them both, the Troopers (7-8) and the Wookiees (5-10) engage in a bitter clash of rivals one last time.



    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    Royal Guards @ Twi'leks
    The Kliffdalorian and baby Kyler close out their first season with a journey to the home of the Twi'leks (8-7), protected by their band of loyal Royal Guards (5-9-1).



    Sunday Night:
    [​IMG] [​IMG]
    B-1s @ Wattos
    To close out a century of brawls, the ironclad B-1s (12-3) battle the wizardly Wattos (11-4) in a showdown between superior processing units and elusive sorcery bolstered by the return of a wicked beast.
