I've found an interesting feature on NFL.com:

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000098904/article/picking-winners-for-week-12s-games

Aside from their season records pretty much matching the records in our prediction league, I found the asterisks intriguing. They didn't count their Seahawks picks in Week 3 as a win, based on nobility. Maybe we should do the same in our prediction league...

Yessssssssssssss.....



holy moly i've been tricked,cheaters, i better pick dallas and new england for later

come on detroit

Wow, terrible TD. Schwartz really screwed up by throwing that challenge. If he would have left it as is then they would've automatically reviewed it as a scoring play. He was clearly down after a few yards, instead it's an 81 yard TD run.

The NFL needs to change that BS rule. They should still give a penalty for improperly throwing the challenge flag, but automatically making the play not reviewable is terrible.

Oh, if the coach throws the challenge flag blablabla... silly rule, stupid coach.

Yeah, scoring plays and turnovers are automatically reviewed upstairs. If a coach throws the challenge flag then it's a penalty and the play becomes non-reviewable. I think they started this rule about 2-3 years ago. Before that turnovers and scoring plays had to be "challenged" by the coach. When they changed the rule they put in that extra "the coach can't throw the challenge flag" rule.

That was a crazy game. Houston has played 10 quarters of football in the last 4 days.

The Cowboys are preparing for an epic comeback in the second half, just like against the Giants. Only this time with a happy ending.
