2021 Week #16

COVID is spreading like wildfire through the NFL, so the sked last week was all kinds of messed up, and the rosters this week are impossible to read. So many men are out thanks to Omicron, and many others are possibly going to be ruled out, and others still may get cleared right before gametime. As a result, our picks are slightly incomplete. We're not picking the Monday night game here because the Saints could have a totally different starting lineup by then, so we'll post that pick sometime Monday on Twitter: @imlddre, @imldjtg. We also have what I believe is our first twin contingency. We both independently declare that Tim Boyle starting at QB for the Lions forces us to pick the Falcons. If Jared Goff was able to be cleared, we would take Detroit. Additionally, I have a contingency on Kansas City having to take on Pittsburgh without their two best targets. If they have to play without both Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill, then I must take the Steelers. But if one or both are cleared before the game, then I will roll with the Chiefs. With all that out of the way, here is most of our Week 16, where we currently differ on five picks:

2021 Week #15

The podcast was haunted by an evil spirit tonight. We couldn't connect at the start of the show, I couldn't call in because my phone is dead and refuses to charge, and then our aftershow got disconnected. We managed to get in our picks even with all of that, well, most of our picks. Jay had the bright idea to push off our Tuesday picks until Tuesday when we can Tweet them out once we figure out who's actually playing and what kind of grip the NFL has on the Omicron situation. Oh, and because there isn't enough weirdness this week, Jason also has a contingency pick. He's taking the Brownies if they can get either of their top two QBs, Baker Mayfield or Case Keenum, in the starting gate. If it's any being other than those two, he's riding with the Raiders. Got all that? Good. Here is the Twilight Zone that is Week 15:

2021 Week #14

The NFL season that won't end rolls on, and Jason and I will square off on six games tomorrow after his insane win Thursday night. The Vikings almost blew a 29-0 lead and let the Steelers come all the way back, and if they hold on to a TD on the last throw, they at least cover. It would have been the mother of all backdoor covers, but alas. I had to go to a rare position player contingency pick, but that's how important Deebo Samuel has been to the 49ers. If he plays, I got San Fran, but if not, I got the Bengals. Here are our Week 14 picks:

2021 Week #13

Not every week can be full of great contests, and Week 13 in the NFL this year has a lot of dog games. But Jason and I managed to chat about all of them and find some angles you may not hear anywhere else. We're facing off on four picks, but we're really looking forward to the Monday night brawl in Buffalo. We dare the Bills to prove to us they should be trusted against tough competition, because they haven't proven it yet. Here are the picks:
