From 1-3 to 9-4 with a shed load of injuries to boot. The Lions are roaring !

[BigBlue]

Lions whimpering tonight....

[HistoricWarwick]

Be interesting when OBJ comes up against Norman and the Redskins again one New Years Day and they need a win for a wild card slot.

[metallilad]

I'd say the Cowboys will win it this year. Stumbled on a couple of gems in Prescott and Elliot.

[BigBlue]

Giants slayed em twice, not a Giants fan but they showed Dallas up. New England miles above everyone else.... It's going to take a shock to beat them.

[Denny]

I still have no idea.
I've watched every Ravens game and bits of everything else.
Dallas' O line looks like their biggest asset. As good as Prescott and Elliot look I just can't see a rookie qb winning it. The rookies often fade later in the year as they aren't used to playing so long into the year.
New England have a QB, a good D and department dedicated to bending every rule in the book, they have to be the team to beat.
Doubt there will be much change out of the AFC North both the Ravens and steelers have injury issues.
Wonder what the odds are for Oakland to lose in the SuperBowl?

Patriots not really played a full good game yet and still cantering. Either great first halves or rally in the second halves. I watched them against the Jets in New York and we struggled early on before basically grinding them down and a couple of big plays when it mattered. Brady does seem to have an objective to get one over Goodall for the ban though which is egging him on.

Typical, Sky have barely shown us play this year yet this one was on. Doesn't help when your QB has torn ligaments in a finger and your missing a good chunk of your beat players. Still think we'll make the playoffs at least though not much further.

Denny you missed a treat with our fantasy league this year.

Plenty of detailed analysis and spectacular performances each week.

Especially from Metallilad and Cartman....

From where they started they have done remarkably well. Need to build on it for next season. They got a good win earlier against my team the kings of 3rd and out failures the Redskins. They blew it big time against the Panthers last night. Doesn't surprise me though Defensively Bunkum.

[BigBlue]

Into the playoffs, can anyone look beyond NE Patriots winning it all? I'd like Atlanta or the Kansas City Chiefs to do well personally. Feel sorry for the Raiders losing Carr, massive loss. Giants look annoyingly good defensive (dont like em being a Redskin).

[JonB]

Pats havent certainly put themselves in a position where they'll be seen as favourites and potentially have Amendole, back in practice this week, and Gronk to come back in as well. Brady seems to be on a mission to shove it up Goodell over the ban whilst Blount is having his best season, Lewis has come back to provide another option alongside him whilst this season Belichick's dealings see us have no end of receiving options all of a sudden especially with the recent signing of Floyd at WR plus Bennett is covering the loss of Gronk very well. Throw in home field advantage and its a good place to be.

This said there have been more than a few games this season where we've been a bit ropey either starting well and hanging on or starting slowly before coming out on top which is what happened when i saw them play in New York against the Jets. Hopefully we wont get caught out and will go all the way even if it does mean going to work on a few hours kip after the Superbowl!!

Hello Jon.

Your NFL credentials will only stand the test of time once you have played in our Fantasy League.

Stents, Cartman and Metallilad have taught us loads this season. Especially Chris...

Spaces have been set aside as the league is expanding next season.

PS I personally hope the cheats are stuffed by the Chiefs special teams but doubt it.

PPS BigBlue you are cordially invited as well as we need more Derbyshire folk.

I'm not a big fantasy league fan unfortunately be it NFL, Premier League etc. My limit is the result prediction thing i do...and currently sit top of the table with!! Cant believe Cartman has taught anyone anything.....he will have tried to draft Flash Gordon as his QB!!

John. I won one match all season.
Trust me. You shouldn't be scared of what you can't do until you prove you can't do it.
It's just a bit of fun, taken with a pinch of salt, is really enjoyable.

Edit: It's all fun and games until Pat changes the scoring so he wins...

Count me in when it's time to start again.. 👍 I've loved my NFL since secondary school in the eighties. Often used to throw the pig skin about with the local kids in my youth.
