While there have been a couple spectacular weeks and some hideous ones, we mostly keep plugging along at just a solid, workmanlike pace for the season. That was the case again last week as three of four writers and Dr. Phil were correct on a double-digit count of games. That’s not too bad, I think, when every week the NFL seems to be throwing in upsets like the Oakland/San Francisco game that, I think, has to pretty much end the 49ers chances of another playoff run the way things are turning out this year.

John came back to the pack a little bit, but still paced us with a 12-4 mark. He’s taken over the lead among the writers, though we’re all still chasing Dr. Phil.

Here are the standings:

Week 15 brings another slate of games that are nearly impossible to predict. I guess that’s probably a good thing – keeps the suspense building as playoff time approaches. About the only thing you can count on is the NFC South losing.

Here are our picks for week 15.

Game of the Week: Dallas at Philadelphia – This duo was tied when they matched up on Thanksgiving. Philly won handily. They’re again tied. The winner has a huge leg up on the division championship and even a better than outside shot at a bye in the first round of the playoffs. This is a HUGE game.

Game of the Weak: NY Jets at Tennessee – There were a few games under consideration this week – the Monday nighter between Chicago and New Orleans isn’t going to be much of a treat, but technically the Saints are still alive for the NFC South “crown,” so there is something on the line. This game features two teams with a combined 4-22 record. Rex Ryan is about to get fired. Either one could end up with the top pick in the draft. I can’t see why anyone would have any interest in watching this game.
