WEEK 15 PICK ME UP
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
Week 14 was pretty good for me, since I went 12-4. As long as my Pick Me Up record is above .500 at the end of the season, that's all I care about. Three more weeks of 12-4 and no doubt I'll be above .500.
Week 15 features three Saturday games, all on national television. This doesn't deter the Pick Me Up at all, since the Pick Me Up is usually posted on Fridays. However, next week the Pick Me Up will be posted next Thursday, because the Packers and Vikings play on Christmas Eve (next Friday).
All the small talk aside, here's my Week 15 picks...
WEEK 15
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18
Pittsburgh at New York Giants (CBS)
(Eli Manning is going to get Blitzburgh'd!)
Washington at San Francisco (FOX)
(This was a great matchup.....in 1992)
Carolina at Atlanta (ESPN)
(The Panthers are on a roll right now)
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 19
EARLY GAMES
Houston at Chicago
(Well, at least Chad Hutchinson is better than Jonathan Quinn)
Buffalo at Cincinnati
(Jon Kitna will start for the Bengals)
Minnesota at Detroit
(Despite their attempt to choke away the season, the Vikings will still make it to the playoffs)
San Diego at Cleveland
(San Diego, Super Chargers...San Diego, Super Chargers!)
Seattle at New York Jets
(Curtis Martin will probably run for 150 yards. But somehow, someway, the Seahawks pull off the W)
Dallas at Philadelphia (FOX, televised in Arkansas)
(Dammit, I wish I had Sunday Ticket)
Denver at Kansas City (CBS, televised in Arkansas)
(UPSET OF THE WEEK. Jake Plummer, you're not #1)
LATE GAMES
St. Louis at Arizona
(LOCK OF THE WEEK. The Rams have Chris Chandler starting at quarterback. Haha.)
New Orleans at Tampa Bay
(These are the Saints, the inconsistent Saints)
Jacksonville at Green Bay (CBS, televised in Arkansas)
(If the Packers don't show up in the first three quarters again, they will lose)
Tennessee at Oakland
(Drew Bennett should be on my fantasy football draft board for 2005)
SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Baltimore at Indianapolis
(Will Peyton Manning set the touchdown record? Cut that meat!)
MONDAY, DECEMBER 20
MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
New England at Miami
(Watch the Dolphins wear those hideous orange jerseys)
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
The Seahawks have never beaten the Jets in Giants Stadium.
What better time than Sunday to erase that fact?
Enjoy the games.
