PrintOne week in the books, and our leader is vitaminx, who only messed up Seattle and Tampa Bay. We are now all staring at your shapely behind, but there will be no resting on laurels (or hardys), as the worst entries still managed to hit double digits. Standings and my picks after the jump.

Rules: Pick winners for Week 13 in this thread. Do it before 7PM Central on Thursday. Each correct pick earns you a point. Most points at the end of Week 17 wins. Winner get a $25 Gift Card for the Packers Pro Shop, redeemable in person or online. Simple, right?
Clutch16's Picks of Magnificience:
Eagles over Seahawks: Umm, their teams are named after birds and they both suck. Not the birds - the teams.
Jets over Redskins: Somehow, the Jets are still in the playoff hunt. The 'Skins are not.
Bears over Chiefs: Battle of the Backups as Kyle Orton returns to Chicago to face Caleb Hanie. Or maybe it will be the awesomeness that is Tyler Palko, who stunk like week-old chicken scraps against New England. Either way, the Chiefs lose.
Bills over Titans: Buffalo showed some signs of life last week, oddly enough. Tennessee looked like crap in the rain versus Tampa Bay. In Buffalo, so the advantage goes to the Bills.
Raiders over Dolphins: I expect a field goal fest. Nothing but glorious, glorious field goals, all game long! It will be...boring as hell. Take the under.
Steelers over Bengals: Only because it's in Pittsburgh. Both of these teams looked like hot garbage last week.
Falcons over Texans: This is where Houston starts feeling the loss of Matt Schaub. Three weeks ago, I'd have gone the other way with this pick.
Broncos over Vikings: TEBOW4MVP
Buccaneers over Panthers: I'm on the fence with this one. If it were Week 6, I'd be all about Cam Newton being the difference-maker, but there's too much tape on him now.
Patriots over Colts: Marquee matchup, everybody! Does it get any better than Brady vers...oh, what's that? It's 2011 now? Oh. Ohhhhh. Yeah.
Ravens over Browns: Come and look at both of our buildings!
Packers over Giants: I was hoping for a blow-out on MNF, and I got one. Thanks for showing us how weak their secondary is, Drew!
Cowboys over Cardinals: I get the feeling that this will be closer than the Cowboys want it to be. Dunno why.
49ers over Rams: HARBAUGH MAD! HARBAUGH SMASH!
Saints over Lions: Because I watched both teams last week.
Chargers over Jaguars: Because Jacksonville, that's why. This is the crap I have to watch on Monday night? Call your broker and tell him you want to put your life savings in DEO.
So pick! Do it! Now!

I can’t pick the Bears until Hanie looks like an actual NFL QB.
SUPER BOWL CHAMPS
My hope is that it will be 20 degrees and windy as hell in Soldier Field
And Martz will have no choice but to run the ball. Him having Hanie put it in the air so often against Oakland was just ridiculous.

I’d love to go against Duh Bears again this week, but I feel that Martz will get a brain and use Forte more often than against the Raiders. Broncos will “upset” the Vikings (and there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth over at DN), and the Iggles will really be pushing for redemption from last week’s Pats loss and taking it out on a weak NFC team.

How did I forget the Failcons?
I pick them. Houston might beat them if not for Shaub’s owie. But Matty Lukewarm will have the day at Reliant Stadium

Actually..
he’s done for the season. It’s their 5th round pick TJ Yates
With my last breath, I curse Zoidberg!
Hell, either or at this point really
But I was initially referring to Ryan. Not Schaub.

More like twenty-eight minutes and fifteen seconds. But hey, its was his day in the sun.

I hate him just for this picture.
Goddamn spoiled brat.
I already told you! I deal with the god damn receivers so the linebackers don’t have to! I have coverage skills; I’m good at covering people! Can’t you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?!
Incomplete?
What the hell? I picked 12 games correctly!
I bolded my picks & said “When in doubt, go with the home team I guess?”
13.
I understand what you meant by your previous comment now
I thought you were joking & saying that my picks were invalid because I went with Jacksonville over Houston. You were asking me to pick the last three games, when, in fact, I already had.
13.
But your picks ARE invalid because you picked a laughingstock Jags fan over Houston.
It’s all in the mind!

I didn't pick a Jags fan over Houston
you picked a laughingstock Jags fan over Houston.
I don’t think any of the four Jags fans could beat Houston, even with TJ Yates under center.
13.
Fail on my part.
The Jaguars have more players than they do fans. At 3-8 with Gabbert starting, though? I don’t see it happening.

Should be fixed
As a side note – the little rage faces at the bottom of the main post contain a link to the Google Spreadsheet I’m using to keep track of all of this. Feel free to look at it any time and tell me if I made a mistake.

Let's go with
PHI-they can poop more than other birds
Jets-because I can’t get 31/2 as in Vegas on Wash
KC-Martz believes Hanie has an arm
Tenn-CJ2K is back…I think
Mia-Moore makes Palmer pass and INTs appear
Pitt-Ben pulls something out of his ass besides his thumb…again
Hou-Falcons lose their way on the road
Min-AP will not let Tebow out rush him
TB-two road wins in a row for Carolina…uh,uh
NE-No Manning,a dream come true for B&B
Bal-We must show up,we must show up
GB-Watch last years game…same result
ARI-Just as the Cowboys can lasso the Division,they can’t master the rope trick
STL-Bradford has to have a lucky game…right!
NO-No stomping..just romping
SD-but this has the makings of a tie…ties win right?
It's like Vegas - ties just get you your money back
They’ll be removed from consideration for points that week and in the final analysis.

Ain't no thang
I’ve always liked running pools. I had an NCAA tournament one going for 15 years, and I like to do World Cup Round of Sixteen pools, too. Keeps me interested in the games, and lets me write a little bit – win/win for me.
