Think you can pick winners better than the NPC staff?
Here we are at Week 15 and the Steelers heads are just above water. Here we sit still reeling after another disappointing loss to a statistically inferior team looking to try and hold tight to the last remaining Wild Card spot and still holding out hope for a miracle playoff run ala 2005. Is it possible? Sure. The Bengals dropping another game tonight to the Eagles sure would help things along but all signs are pointing to next Sunday’s Bengals @ Steelers matchup being a winner-takes-all for the sixth seed in the AFC playoffs. The Steelers have a lot on the line this week heading to Jerry’s World in Dallas and the Cowboys are fighting for their playoff lives as well. Also there’s pride on the line. The Steelers-Cowboys rivalry goes all the way back to the 70’s when the Steelers owned the Cowboys and was renewed again in the 90’s when the tables were turned thanks to Neil O’(did I throw that to the wrong guy again?)Donnell. Nothing would put a smile on my face like a good old fashioned beat down on the Cowboys this Sunday. Just hoping the Steelers oblige. Congrats to Dom for his win last week with the picks but Craig remains in the overall lead and he must be destroyed. As always the NPC staff encourages you to pick along with us or criticize our picks mercilessly in the comments section. Here are the overall standings and this week’s slate of games:
Kimmy = 131-76
Craig = 138-71
Dom = 128-79
Kari 125-82
Andrew = 127-80
Lori = 144-61
