Guru and Friends Predict....Week 16 in the NFL

Only two weeks left, and for all intents and purposes this is a battle for second place.  Right from the start Melissa has dominated to field.  Perhaps more shocking than that is Guru's resurgence back into a battle for the Silver Medal.  Can he finish the job?

Here are the picks for Week 16!

Guru's amazing comeback...

Well heck. If I hung around a football oddsmaker like Mrs. Guru all day, I’m sure a lot of that wisdom would rub off on me too!

Really, how lucky can a guy be? To be married to a gal that can pick teams like that.

My wife probably can’t name four teams! (She’s a keeper, but she’s no football fan. Probably came from being a coach’s wife. lol)

I have to agree with Guru--KC wil rise up

as they’ve done each of the last few weeks…and this time they will finish it.

The AFC West will rise next year—and will once again be a power.

The best defense is a good offense!

Hey Guru

Does your wife play the stock market? Does she give tips?

Jules: A (Eddie) Royale with cheese! You know why they call it that?

Missing football...

Having joined my sister (silverblood) across the pond for the holidays, I now have to deal with the fact the Broncos don’t play until 9PM and there is no TV to watch ANY game (I managed to nick my dorm TV almost every sunday to watch whatever game was on). Of course, I wouldn’t turn down being here for anything, but still, I do miss being able to watch the games…

Do we use this thread to talk about the early games?

If we do, go Tampa Bay! Or don’t! We don’t care!

Chargers always seem to be able to rally when the sledding gets ridiculous

In all honesty I think the Chargers are one of the few teams who could benefit from a rabid disciplinarian, such as the preSB Coughlin.

Spittle and fire could forge them into one heck of a cowlick…

Go Buccaneers and other such things.

How about that Tyler Thigpen guy? 28 fantasy points in ONE HALF. Maybe I shoulda started him over Aaron Rodgers… Oh well. I couldn’t do as bad as Zappa either way. He’s got Kurt Warner’s 6/15 for 30 yards workin’ for him. Haha. I spite your fantasy team, Zappa!

See you later, Roland! Plus, Clady AND Kuper are active! What about Niko Bellic and JMFW, though? And will Tim Crowder ever get to play?And too bad we’ll sit through another game with no fullback, too…

I think Niko and JMFW

are inactive due to scheme. All of our DTs are active, and with stokely out (scary) they have activated all the available wrs as well…

I hope after this game they don’t get any help. I won’t stand them in the Playoffs. I hope ATL makes it or PHI does.
