Yeah, I had a bad week. Let's see...

CARDS, BENGALS, PACKERS, COLTS, RAVENS, PATS, LIONS, CHIEFS, FALCONS, PANTHERS, GIANTS, BRONCOS, JETS, SEAHAWKS, COWBOYS, SAINTS

That would make the swing games Cardinals/Rams, Bengals/Browns, Falcons/Steelers, Broncos/Chargers, Jets/Titans, Cowboys/Eagles, Saints/Bears

[major jay]

Seven games. Nice.

[major jay]

First off Rev the bad news is your Steelers strategy isn't paying off. But the good news is you won all the other swing games to pull within one game overall. You went 14 & 2 and I went 9 & 7. Overall I'm 145 & 77 and you are 144 & 78. Only two weeks to go (unless we stretch this into the playoffs).

[Rev. Powell]

Surely the Steelers can't keep it up?

Jaguars, Eagles, 49ers, Saints, Ravens, Panthers, Lions, Packers, Chiefs, Dolphins, Patriots, Rams, Bills, Colts, Cardinals, Broncos

Looks like only Steelers and Seahawks/Cards are swing games. If I fall further behind I'll have to be desperate in the final week.

[major jay]

Also Colts/Cowboys.

[major jay]

Well it's the last week of the season and I'm holding a 4 game lead. It's do or die for you Rev. It looks like ya gotta throw a Hail Mary (Damn, what a horrible cliche') to pull out the win. Anyway, thanks for playing along. It's been fun. Last week you went 6 & 10 and I went 9 & 7. Overall I am 154 & 84 and you are 150 & 88.

Wow Rev, you almost pulled it off.
Final tally is major jay 165 & 89, the Rev 164 & 90.
Again, thanks for playing. Maybe we can do it again next year.
