Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone. Our gift to you is that we’re almost done with our attempts to pick games.
Actually, we didn’t do too badly last week. Results ranged from 13-3 (John Vomhof Jr.) to 10-6, with Vomhof pulling further ahead in the overall standings.
There are still some maddening teams that are hard to figure out — yes, I’m looking at you, Arizona, Carolina, Minnesota, Indianapolis and … well, most of the AFC West in any given week. And the NFC East. And … well, nevermind.
Here are the standings as we head into the home stretch:
Week 15 | Overall | |
John Vomhof Jr | 13-3 | 143-79-2 |
Tony | 12-4 | 138-84-2 |
Anthony Maggio | 10-6 | 130-92-2 |
Andy | 10-6 | 126-96-2 |
And as we head into the final two weeks, the league has heavily slanted these frames with divisional match-ups. So there is some tremendously interesting football to be played yet.

Game of the Week: Baltimore at Pittsburgh – The Steelers are up a game in the AFC North. The Ravens won the first match-up between these rivals in November. So this tilt is virtually a division championship game. This is as it should be. Blue collar teams in blue collar cities playing meaningful football in December.
Game of the Weak: San Francisco at Los Angeles – Todd Gurley may get a chance to redeem himself in the eyes of many fantasy owners this weekend. Otherwise there isn’t much to care about here. The Rams started their search for a new coach a couple weeks ago. The 49ers are likely less than two weeks from commencing their own. Wake me up when either of these teams is up in the draft.
