It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
Picture this, if you will:
For Week 17, the Eagles beat the Cowboys, the Cardinals beat the Packers, and the Vikings lose. So that makes the seedings as follows:
1. Saints
2. Eagles
3. Cardinals
4. Vikings
5. Packers
6. Cowboys
...making the wild card matchups Cardinals/Cowboys, and, in the most highly-anticipated wild card game of all time, Favre-Green Bay III. Let's further assume that Dallas beats the Cardinals. In the second round, let's say the Eagles take care of business against their NFC North opponent and Dallas upsets the Saints (again), making the NFC Championship game Eagles-Cowboys III in Philly.
I know it's unlikely, but you have to admit, those would be some pretty compelling playoff scenarios.![]()

Dang it, I wanted to stay up and watch that Bears vs Vikings game. Two glasses of brandy and the sandman snuck up on me, probably during one of those interminably long commercial breaks.
Picks are going to be extra tough this week. Teams that have clinched will play it like a pre-season game and rest the starters. However, Indy could probably field volunteers from their fans and still kick Buffalo's tail.
The Pool Host League is going down to the wire too. Good luck, gentlemen!![]()

Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
There really needs to be a choking smiley here.
See you next week, I guess.![]()

How 'Bout Them Cowboys
Who is that man on the sidelines, and what has he done with Wade Phillips?
Two repeat games coming up, Philly at Dallas, Jets at Cincy. Rare. Any bets that Cincy played plain vanilla to keep the Jets guessing for next week?
