Been a minute...

Slacked off the first 12 weeks of the NFL season but I am throwing 4 fingers up and looking to finish the final "quarter" of the season strong.

The Suprises
KC Chiefs 9-2.  My read was good on this team, but I don't think anyone saw them sitting at 9-2 and tied for the division lead going down the final stretch. 

Is the Kool-Aid man aka Andy Reid really the difference? OH YEAAH

Steelers / Ravens 5-6.  About a month ago 5-6 seemed like a dream for Steelers fans after the awful start they had.  Their Thanksgiving day match up is basically going to be a playoff game with the winner still alive in the division / wildcard.

Texans / Falcons 2-9.  It would not have been far-fetched for this to be a potential Super Bowl match up in preseason predictions.  Instead of hoisting Lombardi one of these two might be making the first pick in the 2014 draft.
 I wouldn't mind seeing the Texans end up with the first pick to see if they would go Clowney.  They

need a franchise qb but the duo of Watt / Clowney up front would be hard to pass up.  On the bright side Gary Kubiak is still alive.  Weird time to have a mini-stroke with his team being up 21-3 going to half.  I am guessing while he was at the hospital the doctors did not let him watch the second half collapse or his heart might have went ahead and done the same.


The AFC in general is very weak.  Aside from the division leaders (Pats / Bengals / Colts / Broncos) the Chiefs are the only other team in the entire conference with a winning record.  Most notably, the AFC south is especially terrible.  The division leading Colts having a net points on the year of +3. Sadly for them the 2nd place Titans actually have the best net point total in +5 for the season.  To put that in perspective the best conference in football in my opinion is the NFC West.  Here is there net point difference for the year.
Seahawks +127
49ers +90
Cardinals +31
Rams +11

Ok that was a good warm up, will try to keep this thing rolling for the rest of the season.
