Thank you again Crash. We should mention again a hearty congratulations for your unanimous decision in that four-round boxing match in extended halftime here in Philadelphia, both of you shirtless out in the elements too go figure, over Big Dom. Philadelphia and some local optometrists and opthalmologists will never be the same after that economic stimulus, so thank you as well, even though most of us were cheering for Big Dom of course.

Demands for a rematch in autumn are off the chain in local media, including already some angry local challengers coming to me to ask for and to promote the fight on the current construction site where I work. I better tell Captain Timbers and Great Uncle Ernesto later today about that too. Superb Owl no, I’ve been dodging him lately because he’s angry.

Anyway, Prophecy Award goes USC Dave @usc4dav , The Mighty Abendschan @ABBEY , @T44 who strikes me as a silent badass type, and the wily @Prairiewolf77 . Upon further review, the Prophecy Award is hereby issued with EXTRA SHINE.

It looks to me like just about anybody is still in the running now, or at least they can make a splash and put on a good show sneaking around some ahead of them asleep at the wheel.

Please make your picks here and so that you will NOT be a no-good galoot, make them ON TIME too.

Enjoy the games and the banter all week at this special time of year everybody.

Not sure why i had you with the steelers.

The 1 means you have Seattle left - and Jacksonville out.

Uh-oh, this was a critical mistake given prevailing sentiment since before the playoffs.

Not for the Steelers of course, but I shall have compassion here, not just due to your win in the bout, but because I once was missing a sail and had to go on injured reserve here for the regular season contest after chiding people for being late with picks all the while operating on the wrong day.

It was a challenging, but in the end fruitful, December folks. That month sucks anyway.

Josh Allen looks like he’s on a mission from god, so will have to take Bills in battle of stampeding mammals.

Seahawks look like they have the Niner’s number this year.

damn that Texans vs Pats game seems like a saw-off on defense.

have to keep grating cheese with da bears.

Going out on a limb and I think this is the exact opposite of @Grover unfortunately:

Buffalo :bills: Playoffs are different. Allen is a superhero. Buffalo has no run defense but they will get it together somehow. Nix will be like a deer in headlights.

San Francisco :49ers: Ya, I saw how Seattle dominated San Fran in week 18. I thought the 49ers limited their playbook. Also they’ll have Kittle (and possibly Pearsall) back. Purdy will be able to watch film to avoid the same problems he had. Hard to beat someone twice in 3 weeks. Big game? That’s exactly when I part ways with Sam (don’t call me Benedict) Donald.

Houston :texans: Defense wins championships (Ignore what I said about the Bills above). That’s why I have them as AFC champs so they have to win. More turnovers from Maye who’s still learning. Hope Nico plays this game. If not, I could change my pick (sorry @Crash )

Chicago :bears: Luther Burden III is the Puka of the North. LA won’t know what hit ‘em. Besides I picked Chicago to win the Superbowl so that means they have to get there first. Lol

Thanks @Crash
