Week 17: Bears vs. Green Bay - Sunday Dec 31, 7 pm CST
bukie replied to CaliforniaRaisin's topic in Other Sports
Maybe it's the mood I'm in today, but I found that hilarious. -
I nearly doubled my points today, what with 20+ on Cal, 31 on Rutgers, and 13 on OK State.
-
I have 31 on Rutgers, so that game pretty much makes or breaks my picks.
-
Updated for all Week 17 scenarios. The Giants, Jets and Broncos all control their own destiny, as they are all in with a win. The Green Bay strength of victory scenario can't happen. Even if every game goes Green Bay's way in terms of strength of victory (i.e. every team they beat wins and every non-common Giant opponent loses), the Giants will still win strength of victory by a considerable margin. So the Packers need the Giants to lose.

Philly is still the team that concerns me most in the NFC. I don't mean to sound arrogant, but I really do believe the Bears are significantly better than the rest of the NFC this year. I base this on my belief that there are 4 teams capable of winning the Super Bowl this year, and the Bears are the only one in the NFC (Chargers, Ravens, Patriots). Jacksonville would have been a tough out in the playoffs, but they need a nigh miracle to sneak in at this point.

Week 17: Bears vs. Green Bay - Sunday Dec 31, 7 pm CST

I really doubt they'll move it to Sunday night, because by the time the game would be played, it could be completely meaningless. With the Philly win tonight, my guess would be Philadelphia/Atlanta, since that game has meaning no matter what happens earlier in the day. -
Updated for the Dallas/Philadelphia game. Chicago is the 1 seed, New Orleans is the 2 seed, Seattle is the 4 seed, and Dallas and Philly are the 3/5 seeds, with Philly owning the tiebreaker. Winner gets the leftover playoff team, loser goes to Seattle. Oh, and technically, Green Bay could make the playoffs even if the Giants win if somehow they overtook them in strength of victory. Which they won't, considering the huge gap between them, even with the Packers playing the Bears.

Tennessee can still be eliminated today if the Jets win.
-
Updated for the week 16 games thus far.

WEEK 16: Bears at Detroit Sunday December 24th noon CST

So, then the media spin here is that Griese was brought in due to an ineffective Grossman for the go-ahead drive... http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=261224008 Seriously...that's just irresponsible. -
Hey, I'm the only one 3-0 in Bowl Mania so far...although I really only had 3 points on Troy, so I'm still 3rd overall. :)
-
The Vikings have been eliminated from playoff contention with the 9-7 loss tonight, as the best they could do is tie for the 6 seed with the Packers and lose the tiebreaker. It is still possible for all NFC playoff spots to be clinched this weekend if: - Philadelphia defeats Dallas - NY Giants defeat New Orleans - Atlanta loses to Carolina - Seattle defeats San Diego OR San Francisco loses to Arizona

I - N - I ! I'm concerned that the supposed "senior leader" is the biggest offensive liability on the team. Good that he actually passed up shots today, though.
-
Not pretty, but it counts. Good to have Randle back.
-
So, the whole game, light contact is a foul, but right there, you can get run into twice for no call?
-
This is where it hurts to have your PG as a 60% FT shooter. Smith can actually hit FTs, but nobody else can.
-
Yay, one went in!
-
This team is so frustrating with their FTs.
-
Good lord, is everything a foul?
-
Free Throws, people. It's an uncontested, 15-foot shot from the same location every time. It shouldn't be this difficult.
-
Sure, drain the clock. But please, get a shot off!
-
That seemed like a crap call for a 4th foul on Randle.
-
Sigh...if you have a wide open jumper, and you are a jump shooter, take it! Also, how do you miss a 6 inch shot when you are 6'10"?
-
Sigh, Arnold is so bad. Illini just need to pick up the defensive intensity. Allowing too many open looks. Would also be nice if they could learn to make FTs.

Hey, it's Shaun Pruitt!
