Yeah, went back and forth on Saints/Browns, Giants/Vikings, Texans/Titans, Raiders/Steelers, Packers/Dolphins, Chargers/Colts. 
I’d be happy with 3-3 in those 6 games.

@Chrisaaron1023you gained a half game on me, I didn't get my pick in, sucks because I had the Jags lol. We will see if this 1 game makes a difference at the end. I will get my picks here in a while. I have been under the weather and working a lot. Looks like the Jags are going to win the division.

I went 12-4 last week so I am 136-87-2 on the season, picks will be coming up here in a while.

I'm sorry man, I mean I'm sure everyone did have the jags.. it's getting tough to keep everything together with the holidays. I forgot about the game last night because I had to travel. I got to my hotel and saw "the colts were eliminated because the jags won". I was like oh dang I forgot about the game!!

Eagles 20 @ Cowboys 24  (I don't know which outcome I prefer. If either of them finish tied with us for the conference lead, we still cannot be the 1 seed. )

Packers 26 @ Dolphins 30   

 

 

If everything turned out this way, I would be pleased -- except for the Eagles and Cowboys game.  See my comment in red above. I don't like either team and it is too bad that they both cannot lose this game. 

 

I guess if the 49ers lost, that would work in our favor. But it is hard to root against a team that is winning with its 3rd-string QB who is a rookie and a 7th round pick. I'm so impressed. 

 

I want the Lions to make the playoffs. I want the Colts to get a higher draft pick.

Agree with all the sentiments, I'm not having high expectations for Vikings because of all the injuries in the secondary, which has held back all other units. I'm optimistic about our offense fighting it out every game, which is a big surprise and praise for Cousins. 

 

So, I'm largely neutral about any other games, NFC or AFC. I'm not even thinking about the #1 seed, if we had beaten either of Eagles or Cowboys, i would've been hoping for that, but as it stands, Vikings are #4 best team in the conference in my eyes, and it's upto how they come out in playoffs against the stronger teams. If we've been equal with other competing teams so far, getting home field advantage would give a distinct edge over others. I don't think other teams would sweat over playing Vikings in Minneapolis. 

 

If we're truly competitive and this isn't an one-off wonder season, we can improve our defense and come back stronger next season with similar consistency in qualifying for playoffs like Bengals have done, in case we exit early in this year playoffs. If Vikings become consistent contenders under this new head coach, then we'd definitely have better chance to win it all soon. 

 

I'll be rooting for Lions to qualify, and would hope 49ers emerge as NFC champs if Vikings aren't in contention. 

 

In the AFC, anyone of Bills, Bengals, Chiefs, and Ravens winning would make me happy. I'm rooting for Bills to win SB sooner than later. 

 

I think next draft will be very fascinating for Vikings, I'm thinking of not worrying about QB position by extending Cousins and improve the defense and OL in the draft. Vikings can definitely select a QB if they like from round 3 or 4 onwards, after selecting a couple of studs in first two days. I was not impressed with what the GM and coaching staff did last draft, not a single selection in any of the rounds, except maybe for Booth but he needs to prove his mettle. However, I loved their free agency moves. I hope they do better evaluation and selections in the upcoming draft.

It is hilarious the Titans have fell apart, I even picked the Texans to win. Titans fans were making fun of us for having a bad year and they have now lost 5 in a row

Injuries in defense and having a very predictable offense, one has to be clueless to continue to think it will somehow work out.

 

Guess they are over confident about their defense winning games, and shipping AJ Brown was a bad move - they took away the only big threat they had in their passing game. However, that move was made so that they could keep paying their defensive players more while paying Henry on offense. It would've worked superbly 20+ years ago.

 

Injuries can derail the defense anytime too, so they need to get their team in balance. As shrewd as Vrabel could be, he's to evolve as the game in modern era does. They could've closed out the game yesterday if not for Henry's fumble that set up short field position for Texans to punch it in. Such things happen when the team is in losing streak and they know they have to do it all in the run game.
