Week 14 Wrap; Week 15 Picks

I'm back from my vacation in sunny south Florida, and now it's time for me to get back into the spirit of Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, you can check out my divisional Christmas lists at www.playerpress.com. (plug).

Alrighty, last week the Jets proved that their still digesting that Thanksgiving turkey, as they looked sleepy against the lowly Niners. The Giants were clearly distracted by the whole Burress issue(What a moron!), but his absence wasn't the cause of their loss. They were simply not into the game. At approximately 4:00 EST Sunday afternoon, the Atlanta Falcons appeared to have started digging a "playoff hole". As of roughly 7:00 EST Sunday night, they were somewhat bailed out by the Cowboys. By 11:30 EST, the Falcons hadn't lost squat as far as the playoff race was concerned, as the Skins were embarrassed by 9-4 Baltimore. What?! Is this the same Baltimore team that was the sole loser to the Miami Dolphins last year? No, it is not. Nor are the Miami Dolphins the same team that beat only Baltimore last year(as mentioned above).

All right, time for some picks. Last week, I scored on all but 5, one short of where I've been the past couple of weeks. Both New York teams blew it big, Green Bay lost to a surging Houston team. What?! Never mind. And Atlanta and KC lost difficult road games. Other than that, life was great. I was in warm, sunny south Florida! I know, "shut up and pick, Hopper!" Fine, here they are:
Week 14: 11-5 Overall: 60-29-1

NO:21 CHI:31
TB:23 ATL:24
WAS:16 CIN:7
TEN:19 HOU:22
GB:34 JAC:21
SF:17 MIA:27
SEA:24 STL:13
BUF:17 NYJ:16
SD:20 KC:24
DET:6 IND:34
MIN:28 ARI:38
PIT:17 BAL:20
DEN:20 CAR:27
NE:27 OAK:21
NYG:38 DAL:35
CLE:24 PHI:17


By the way, I guess it's worth mentioning that both Tennessee and Arizona officially, officially clinched their divisions. The Giants can do the same with a win Sunday night. Also, Cleveland is undefeated on Monday night this year. That's why I have them to beat the Eagles. Hopper out. Have a happy Sunday.
