NFL Pickem Week 15: Old Man Rivers: The NFL returns tonight with the Atlanta Falcons going to the struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers, whose loss to New Orleans made me one of two survivors left in a 166-entry $1,400 pool. Jagsnumberone holds on to first in the pickem standings and Rumple wins the week with 76. Make your picks and send good thoughts to quarterback grandpa.

NBA Pickem Week 7: NBA on NBC: Tonight's doubleheader on NBC is the only national games for the week. The New York Knicks visit the Boston Celtics at 8 p.m. Eastern and the Oklahoma City Thunder go to the Golden State Warriors three hours later. I am now leading the pickem standings thanks to a near dunk on those Luka-stealing Lakers. Make your picks.

McIlroy Races to Odd Conclusion About IndyCar and NASCAR: While casting doubt on the idea that the PGA and LIV will ever unify as one tour because of the latter's "irrational" spending, Rory McIlroy lamented other divisive fractures in sports and said, "You look at boxing for example, or you look at what's happened in motor racing in the United States with Indy and NASCAR and everything else, I think for golf in general it would be better if there was unification." IndyCar and NASCAR?

This should be Lions at Rams FYI
Thanks. Fixed that. I make that Rams-Chargers error so often these days. I need a lie down.

Pretty good matchups. I don't have enough confidence to lock any game but Thunder/Suns. Go Raptors!

Colts at Jaguars is 53%/47% on Yahoo's pickem. This is the NFL's top-ranked run defense against Jonathan Taylor and I'm going with Jacksonville with some trepidation. I'm going with the Raiders to upset the Broncos at home. Denver seems poised for a market correction. I also like Chicago over Green Bay at Lambeau.

I shouldn't pick Dallas but they have a knack for winning on this holiday. I am hoping Shadeur Sanders does well at home against the Niners but I can't see an upset happening. It feels like the distant past when the Commanders were a playoff team. I'm still kinda rooting for Dan Quinn.

rcade to NoMich: "I'll see your sausage biscuits and raise you a Camel Rider Combo".
Nice Camel Rider reference! It only took me 20 years but I finally tried them. The Sheik is my life.

The Chiefs have Arrowhead and desperation on their side today. The Colts are the better team this season but I think they'll lose this one. I'm picking Dallas in the upset at home over Philly because I am starting to think the Cowboys have a defense again. The Jaguars are favored by 1.5 points today. It seems like every time they are a favorite it is a scrawny number like that. But I'll take it.
Sorry I missed the Rams/Bucs game. I don't want to fix that this late because some players won't check here today.

Picking these upsets: Cincinnati over Baltimore, New England over Buffalo, Denver over Green Bay. Yahoo NFL pickem players are going 99%/1% for Jacksonville over the Jets, which scares me as a fan but not enough to go against the herd. How are the Packers going into Mile High as a 3-point favorite when Denver has won 10 straight games?
