A big 2 points on offer for week 13 so get the thinking caps on chaps. 

Do any of us go early with the Saints or is that a trap-game? 

Surely KC & the Rams win but might there be an upset?  One thing we know by now is that nothing is ever straightforward.  Unless it is straightforward.

Best of luck!

    And it's good to see a number of teams with excellent D vying for playoff spots.  They say that defense often wins out but the offense of KC,  Rams, Saints is quite something. 

    The teams with the best balance are probably still the Pats & Steelers whilst the D of the Chargers,  Dallas & Chicago has been quite miserly but Dallas' ability to score is an issue for them. 

    The Chargers run home isn't easy ... @ Steelers,  vs Cinci,  @ KC,  vs Ravens,  @ Denver. 

    By contrast,  Houston can win out and could quite possibly snag the 1 or 2 seed in the AFC ... vs Browns,  vs Indi,  @ Jets, @ Eagles,  vs Jags

    Wow Texans run is good for them.

    LBeen awesome watching NFL live over here... Rams & KC was unreal. Thanksgiving was good apart from Falcons @ Saints! 

    Saints @ Dallas should be a good one on TNF before I flight out Friday morning!

    Saints in trouble ...  scoreless at half time.  Trailing by 10 so it isn't a large lead.

    Credit to Dallas though ... they have turned things around after looking like they were done a month ago

    Opens things up for your Rams now in terms of the 1 seed Gorg ... as always,  a lot can change in the NFL from week to week.

    Yup, we need to win out if we want home advantage, not going to be easy but it’s in our hands.

    Not bad from the Cowboys I’ll give them that. Loving D Lawrence at the moment and Prescott did no harm to his contract leverage.

    Dayum. All those tipsters tipping late get the help this week of not picking the Saints.

    Yep,  risk/reward didn't pay off.  Still,  there's still a fair bit to play out and the key is to remain within striking distance before the 3 points is on offer for week 17. 

    And there's always the post-season tipping comp as a consolation prize ... might spruce that comp up a bit with a few more chances at gaining points.  But I'll leave that till later on at a more relevant time.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
