The Packer debacle was the perfect metaphor for Week 16. My last fantasy team standing made me a perfectly-sucky 0-4 in the playoffs (and team #4 didn’t even make it in). How the mighty fell:
Green Bay 7 (-9) @ Chicago 35 – Lovie Smith saved his job, dammit!
Kansas City 20 (+5-TIE) @ Detroit 25 – The losing record takes a week off in Detroit, vacations at the Egg compound.
Washington 32 @ Minnesota 21 (-6.5) – In one week, the Queens went from inevitable to outside looking in. Go Skins!
Pittsburgh 41 @ St. Louis 24 (+8) – I hate Mark Bulger.
Dallas 20 (-11-LOSS) @ Carolina 13 – The worst of all worlds.
Cleveland 14 (-3) @ Cincinnati 19 – I knew I should’ve taken Agent Smith at home against Mr. Anderson.
Houston 15 @ Indianapolis 38 (-7) – Did I actually nail a game through the uprights?
NY Giants 38 @ Buffalo 21 (+3) – That’s the last time I let Paul handle the money.
Oakland 11 @ Jacksonville 49 (-14) – Do the math.
Philadelphia 38 @ New Orleans 23 (-3.5) – Rule of broken thumb; offer the left hand to the guy with the hammer.
Atlanta 27 @ Arizona 30 (-10.5-LOSS) – Damn near as wrong as it gets.
Tampa Bay 21 (-6-LOSS) @ San Francisco – I’m soooooo going to have to have a “talk” with Gruden for not keeping the hammer down.
Miami 7 @ New England 28 (-22-LOSS) – The inevitable happened (take your pick on which inevitable)
Baltimore 6 @ Seattle 27 (-10 – line from MGM Mirage) – Thanks for keeping up the skeer, Walrus.
NY Jets 6 @ Tennessee 10 (-8.5-LOSS) – Ironically, the same rules applied to these nose picks.
Denver 3 @ San Diego 23 (-9) – When the scrubs play the 4th quarter, you know it’s all good.
The worst week ever ended up at 4-11-1 ATS and 1-1 O/U, to drop my ass back to .500 at 114-114-12 and kick the over/unders to the 19-12-1 curb. I’ll be back at it Saturday.
