NFL 2007 Season Week 15 Picks

Broncos 13 @ Texans 31

Jeremy: It would be awfully hard for me to know less about 2 teams this late into a season.

Matt: A-Joh for MVP (If he wasn't injured for half the season, of course)!!!!!

Sarah: What is this? Like on the NFL network or something? Bah.

Jon: Houston could have used fewer injuries.

Bengals 13 @ 49ers 20

Jeremy: It's the battle of the disappointments. Just remember that the 49ers' opponent may as well be the Patriots.

Matt: Super Bowl XXIII (Bengals vs. 49ers) is the 2nd earliest Super Bowl that I have memories of (the Redskins/Broncos matchup the year before being the first). More than just the game, I remember that Jon and I (and our sister too, I think) went with our Uncle Mark off on some adventure in the country surrounding Eau Claire. My other Uncle and some of our cousins may have been along as well, but I can't remember. I also don't remember what we did that day, but the chances are good that the truck got stuck in the mud or snow, as that seemed to happen about every other time we were with him. The one thing I do remember is that we saw an eagle while driving home, which was pretty cool as an 8 yr. old. Later that night, when we got home, Jon, my sister and I played Monopoly with our Mom while watching the game. We all wanted the Bengals.

As a side note, this is the game where Bengals DT Tim Krumrie's leg was shattered in a pretty nasty injury. This is important because Krumrie grew up in Mondovi, WI about 20-30 miles from the Nutcan HQ. Sometime after this game, I was at the eye doctor's when my Mom told me that the guy sitting a few seats from us in the waiting room was Tim Krumrie (the giant scar down his leg tipped my Mom off). While that day sucked because I had to get glasses, I did get his autograph on the envelope of those cheap plastic sunglasses they give you when they dilate your eyes, so I had that going for me.

Sarah: Really?

Jon: San Francisco is terrible.

Packers 33 @ Rams 14

Jeremy: How funny would it be if the Packers lost this? They better watch out though, because the Rams are a lot better than the usual dismal recorded team. I've heard a lot of advertisements for bus trips to St. Louis, so expect to see a fair number of Packer fans there, and expect a big deal to be made over this fact.

Matt: I feel an upset brewing, Rams by 12.

Sarah: This could be a dangerous game. I'm just saying.

Jon: St. Louis Snicker Swirl!

Redskins 22 @ Giants 10

Jeremy: If the Vikings don't make the playoffs I hope the Redskins do.

Matt: In Super Bowl XXI the Giants beat the Broncos. A year later, in Super Bowl XXII, the Redskins also beat the Broncos. Three years later, in Super Bowl XXV the Giants beat the Bills. The next year, in Super Bowl XXVI, the Redskins also beat the Bill. Coincidence, yes, but interesting none the less.

Sarah: How many games are we talking about here? Too many!

Jon: The Giants just need one thing to go right to make the playoffs.

Bears 13 @ Vikings 20

Jeremy: This one has me worried because the only thing the Vikings do more consistently than lose games they have to win is make backup quarterbacks look like superheros.

Matt: Screw A-Pete, C-Tayl is the best running back in the league.

Sarah: 2 Primetime games for the Vikings in a row? Yikes.

Jon: Don't tell me, I'm recording it.
