Dolphins did it tough early but got me the win. Now two more needed!

We all picked up 2 points this week in the tipping comp ... only the 1 point on offer for week 16 but week 17 carries 3 points and the comp will be decided in that week.  4 participants can still win it in an outright sense. 

Anyway, 6 of the 8 divisions are still yet to be decided (the Pats & Seattle have won their respective divisions) & week 17 will almost certainly be another playoff type week for many of the teams.

Most of the week 16 games (12 of 16 games) will be played on Christmas day AEDT whilst all of the week 17 games will be played on Jan 2 AEDT (which is a nationwide public holiday)  So we're in for a treat with so many games having so much riding on them. 

Washington needs to win tomorrow to stay in a strong position with regards to a wild-card spot - they should win at home but it may not be easy.

And the week 16 games ...

[JV7 2,351]

One more win & the falcons clinch at least a WC playoff spot... After 4 years following, we could be headed to the post season. 2 divison games left though so who knows what'll happen!

Tough tipping week. Vikes are cooked we basically got smashed. The NFC is a bit tricky I dunno who will playoff in the conference game. I'd say it'll come down to the teams who are the healthiest and are firing at the time. This is where the week off can haunt some teams come playoff time.

Hear, hear.

All the best to all ... stay safe.

Stuff the Giants & the tipping!! Well I'll be up at 4:50am christmas morning for the Falcons/Panthers game... My mrs thinks I'm nuts! Probably earliest I'll be up on Christmas since I was 4!

[Gorgoroth 12,972]

I usually try not to tip on Thursday night games, should have listened to myself.

happy to see the Eagles win anyway. I like the Eagles.

[JV7 2,351]

Unbelievable... Seattle miss the XP to tie the game 31 all instead of going up by 1 with 1 minute to go. Cards go down at kick a FG as time expires, giving the Falcons the #2 seed for now.. A win at home against New Orleans & we take the #2 seed, do I dare to dream! 

[Gorgoroth 12,972]

And the Rams lose twice to the niners...

 

gotta sack the GM who gave up the world for Goff and al the coaches, they are all crap. Clean slate the whole organisation.

[Macca 17,009]

That's unlucky for the Raiders re Carr.  Oakland may still get a bye although KC might be favoured to snare the 2 seed now. 

Pittsburgh & Houston clinch their divisions & Miami clinch a playoff spot.  Broncos, Titans & Ravens out.

Seattle fall to the 4 seed (for now) & the Giants snag a playoff spot.  All to play for next week for the Lions & Packers* although Detroit can secure a playoff spot if they win tomorrow against Dallas.

The big question is whether Romo will get some game time tomorrow with Dallas having nothing to play for.

 

*Packers & Lions is next week's SNF match-up.

[Gorgoroth 12,972]

How good was that last TD that the Chiefs scored! Loved it.

[Macca 17,009]

All to play for in the tipping comp ... 3 points on offer this week so up to 4 people can still win (joint winners are applicable)

Anyway, good luck to all and thanks for your participation.

And you're in line for a 3peat with the post-season comp   If we get enough starters we may as well have a go at it ... traditionally we've posted up likely scorelines as well. 

The playoffs kinda starts with SNF in week 17 ... it could well be a high-scoring shootout.  If your blokes win (and you should win) you're then guaranteed the 2 seed - nice position to be in.
