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.

Thanks. Fixed that. I make that Rams-Chargers error so often these days. I need a lie down.

Locked out of tonight's game at 4:25 pacific. Bucs by 23. Lock.
I know I'm out of the running, and not even Costanza eligible, but what the hell.

The time stamp shows Buccaneers game doesnt start for a couple of hours which I think is incorrect but it is disabled/greyed out. Anyway Bucs by 7 if I can sneak that in, otherwise no problem.

Glad I missed the Thursday game. I definitely would have picked Buccaneers over Falcons, and I might have locked it. I have Seahawks over the Colts; not because of the quarterback but because Seahawks have a better team.

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?
