So I maintain pace with trailing Kodiak and leading Prisco, also suffering a 1-2 Week 15. 26-20 overall at this point.

I blame Snowie for the conspiracy theory influences on these picks. If they play out, I take back all criticisms I've ever posted about them. On to the chaos:

TB 31 Hou 21 - Tampa is home, and may be the hottest team in the league. If they do this again next season, don't be surprised if we start hearing Leftwich's name as an HC candidate. Feeding into the conspiracy, this is half of the equation needed to set the table for a AFCS showdown in week 17. Houston got lucky last week. I don't know that they have any more rabbits feet to play with.

Jax 24-ATL 21 - I already posted in the score prediction thread that this comes down to the kickers. Lambo is more reliable than Younghoe Koo, and the Falcons take a loss because of it.

IND 17 Car 15 - I know that reads aloud like "care", and really, I just can't.

TEN 24 No 23 - I am picking against logic and heart. NO should knock the tacks out of the AFCS running in Nashville. If they lay an egg, I will begin to believe that the shield put the fix in so that the week 17 matchup against the horns is meaningful. Brees just played lights out against the horseshoe D. He'll have a tougher challenge this week.

If I end up a game short of Kodiak OR Prisco this year, it will be because of that stinkin' tacks game, I just know it.

Thanks again for keeping this running, Kodiak. You rock!
