If the freaking Rams put up over 50 points on oakland, I'm sure the 49ers can easily win.  I'll be voting for Oakland though, but I'm not holding my breath...

I take it, you didn't pay attention lately. The 49ers barely scored against crap teams like the Giants and Redskins. And don't forget that the Rams won in San Francisco and almost won against Arizona and San Diego, so it's definitely not "the freaking Rams". Oh, and didn't they beat the Seahawks too?

for the most part, the rams seem to have their best games against the good teams they play.  Maybe they over prepare for them and under prepare for the average/mediocre teams and that is why they lose those games.  Who knows, but yes, the rams have beat the hawks, niners, and bronco's this year.

If I win this thing, the Americans of VGC will never hear the end of it.

Hm...

It's not as special as you think it is. The performance of Europeans in the prediction league has been great, always. In 2012 zuvuyeay finished in #5 and I in #7, in 2013 I finished in #4 and zuvuyeay in #6. This year all four Europeans hold a top 10 spot after week 13.

Of course, winning would be icing on the cake, but by now Americans should be used to be runner-ups to Europeans for the most part.

its because they don't have favorite teams that clouds their judgement...

A couple notes on the games:

Dallas should bounce back sense they are playing away and against the garbage Bears defense... 

And there lies the problem, Dallas never seems to play well against teams that have sorry defenses. 

Lol true, you would think Dallas would put some points up against the Eagles who have the 4th worst ranked defense against QB's this season, but nothing. Division games are always tough though so I hope this was just a rare fluke XP.

Even Pete Carrol tacitly admits his team is full of dirty cheaters.

The Seattle Seahawks are the third most penalized team in the NFL (penalties per game accepted against). Pete Carroll has brought up the penalty disparity between the Seahawks and their opponents several times in the last few weeks. His detractors would argue that the disparity is because the Seahawks are so wont to get flagged. He refined his argument this week to suggest that he is not so much complaining about the calls against the Seahawks, but rather the lack of calls that are made against the Seahawks' opponents.

So, Pete Carrol talking about how other teams not getting called for as many penalties as they should is admitting to cheating??

 

Stretching!

Nope, Pete Carrol not claiming that being the most penalized team in the league is wrong is admitting to cheating. Indisputable!
