NFL Pickem Week 17: Two Weeks Left: The NFL begins week 17 by encroaching on the NBA's turf with a Christmas Day tripleheader. Sad it had to start with the Cowboys and Commanders when neither is going to the playoffs. Jagsnumberone leads the pickem standings and I jump to second after winning the week with 103. Make your picks.

NBA Considers New Anti-Tanking Measures: In the wake of the worst gambling scandal in league history, the NBA is looking at new rules to combat tanking that would also deter some shady bets. Among the ideas is to no longer let teams draft top 4 in consecutive years, lock lottery positions after March 1, and limit draft pick positions to top 4 or 14 and higher.

NFL Pickem Week 16: Oh the Ligaments: The NFL heads into its sixteenth week tonight without Patrick Mahomes and Micah Parsons, victims of the dreaded ligament tears. The Rams and Seahawks are both 11-3 headed into tonight's game at Lumen Field. Jagsnumberone leads our pickem standings and Howard_T wins the week with 103 after hitting all six locks. Make your picks.

NBA Pickem Week 9: NBA Cup Final: The San Antonio Spurs face the New York Knicks tonight at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas for the third NBA Cup -- the first time the teams have played in a trophy-lifting game since the 1999 NBA Finals. The winning players go home with an extra $318,560 in their pockets. "People like money," said Spurs guard De'Aaron Fox. The Cup final is one of three national games in our pickem. I'm leading the pickem standings. Make your picks.

Gardner Minshew and his jorts will lead Kansas City to victory over Tennessee. Baker Mayfield, who kind of looks like he could be Gardner's brother, will lead Tampa Bay to disappointment against Carolina.

Some scores from week 15 need corrections because of picks that need to be entered correctly. I can't get into the database from my location, so I'll be fixing them later.

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?

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.

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.

Nice Camel Rider reference! It only took me 20 years but I finally tried them. The Sheik is my life.
