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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
