[NeedfulKings]

Great week of football (and Turkey!). Congrats to the week 12 winner Spencer (13-3)!

[RUBE]

I didn't pick a single afternoon or evening game right on Sunday and am still somehow tied for the lead.

[NeedfulKings]

Yes, the later games did a lot of folks in. Congrats to the week 13 winner ajw2910 (10-3)!

Ugh, I finally stopped being a homer and picked against the Bengals last 2 weeks without Burrow. Didn't see that Browning performance coming. Was going to pick against them rest of the way, but now have to think about it.

I was confused by this for awhile. If you were on the East coast (or even Central time zone), that would mean you missed all the games on Sunday.

[RUBE]

I am in the central time zone so I consider the first set of games "noon" games.

[NeedfulKings]

I have nothing to lose, so winning week 14 makes sense. Congrats to ME (11-4)!

[NeedfulKings]

Big week! Congrats to the week 15 winners Randall Flagg, SkippyD023, Lurker, and gersto (12-4)!

[NeedfulKings]

2 weeks left to make your move! Congrats to the week 16 winner Garrell (12-4)!

[NeedfulKings]

Wow! Epic week for so many! Congrats to the week 17 winners RUBE, amd013, SkippyD023, Lurker, Divemaster, and Oxcy8 (12-4)!!!

Well, my team didn't make the playoffs, so I am rooting for the teams that have never won a SB, so rooting for Lions, Bills, Texans in that order.


What about you? Anybody rooting for a team they are not a fan of (primarily).

[Randall Flagg]

I'm hoping the Lions do well.

[divemaster]

I'll watch every game possible of "my team" during the regular season no matter how much they suck. I'm a CUBS fan, and they have had some really really bad seasons. But I still pay for the MLB pass to stream all the games. Prior to that, I'd watch them on the WGN cable every day possible.

However, once the playoffs start (any sport) and my team is not in it? The sport is dead to me for the duration of the playoffs. My NFL team is the Cowboys. So I have no interest in the remaining NFL playoffs this year. I have no urge to watch anything further, including the Superbowl. I guess if I had a sentimental reason, like rooting for Joe Burrow (LSU!) at Cincinnati, and they were in it, I might watch. But ask me who won the Superbowl last year? Kansas City? Just a guess. The World Series? I'd have to look it up. It wasn;t the Cubs, so no idea.

Was it back in the late 80s that the Bills went 3 or 4 times and always came up short? Brutal!

I'm hoping the Lions do well.

My mother-in-law is a Detroit native, so that would be just fine.

We usually find a reason to root for (or against) a team in the playoffs. The Super Bowl is always about the food, drink, and commercials. Sometimes the halftime show. And yes, "sometimes" it's about the game, lol.

My memory sucks, so if I almost always have to google last year's winner in any sport.
