N.F.L. Update

It took an unprecedented 7 days (Thurs. to Wednesday) to complete the NFL’s 12th week of action.

Really, only the one seed matters, as far as seeding for the ‘offs and in the AFC, Pittsburgh (Steelers) with an (11-0) mark leads the (10-1), defending champion K.C. Chiefs. I will try to find out more about tiebreakers between those two teams.

In the NFC, New Orleans, currently without the superb, yet over rated quarterback, Drew Brees, leads at (9-2) while the Green Bay Packers (they won at New Orleans, hence have a tiebreaker advantage vs the Saints) and Seattle Seahawks are (8-3).

All three should win their “divs,” (which other than betting means little as there are no fans and but one bye in a 7 team ‘offs field), certainly New Orleans and “G.B.” will.

Three AFC teams are (8-3) and likely playoff(s) qualifiers. They are the South leading Tennessee Titans, the East leading Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns.

In the long week of pro pig, there were 11 clashes between a team that both lost outright and did not cover the spread vs one that at least won or covered. 

After Houston (Texans) a week before “winner/winner” ripped previous week loser/loser Detroit, in front of “Houston lover/Hedge Fund “Pooh” Jim Nantz, in the first of the sick, long week’s NFL tilts, the next 10 previous week loser/losers either won or covered, doing the latter 9 times. (Only “Minne” vs Carolina did not cover).
