The Season- Week 15 Recap

Exciting Week 15 Games:

Kansas City Chiefs 18,395 - Green Bay Packers 18,032

Bad news, bad news and good news for The Packers Fans. Bad News:  Their team lost their first game of the NFL Season on the field. Bad news: They lost their 4th game in 5 games in the bar; Struggling to find the intelligence that had them undefeated only 5 games ago. Good News: With Detroit's loss to Oakland, The Green Bay Packers fans have the clinched their division in The Season! Congratulations on being the Smartest NFL fans in the NFC North. Time for the playoffs....

Seattle Seahawks 15,156 - Chicago Bears 15,009

Two fan bases that have no playoff hopes and they still had one fantastic game! Brutal loss for the Bears fans. This was one of the closest games of the Season, and kudos to the Seahawks fans for pulling out the nail-biter.

New Orleans Saints 18,035 - Minnesota Vikings 15,997

With this crucial victory, The New Orleans Saints have pretty much clinched a spot in The Season Playoffs. The Saints last game is against #30 ranked Carolina Panthers and if they win, they are in! Meanwhile Minnesota Vikings fans showed flashes of brilliance this year, but in the end could not stop their downward spiral. Maybe next year!

AFC Playoff Picture

#1 Seed:  #2 Houston Texans (14-1) Division Champion

#2 Seed: #9 New England Patriots (12-3) Division Champion

#3 Seed: #7 Kansas City Chiefs (12-3)

#4 Seed: #10 Pittsburgh Steelers (11-4) Division Champion

Wild Card Rankings (top two make the playoffs):

1.#4 Oakland Raiders (12-3) Clinched Playoff Spot

2. #8 Jacksonville Jaguars (10-5)

3. #13 Denver Broncos (9-6)

Surprise, Surprise! The AFC playoffs are STILL all about the Houston Texans Fans, the AFC West and the battle for the last Wildcard spot.  It is going to go down to the wire. If #8 Jacksonville beats beat #26 Indianapolis to end the Season, they are in.  #13 Denver plays #7 Kansas City to end the Season. If Kansas City wins, then they are the AFC West division champs, and Denver is out of the playoffs. Should be an exciting game!

NFC Playoff Picture

#1 Seed:  #1 Tampa Bay Bucs (15-0) Division Champion

#2 Seed: #3 Washington Redskins (15-0) Division Champion

#3 Seed: #5 San Francisco 49ers (13-2) Division Champion

#4 Seed: #6 Green Bay Packers (11-4) Division Champion

Wild Card Rankings (top two make the playoffs):

1.#12 New Orleans Saints (10-5) 

2. #15 Detroit Lions (9-6)

3. #16 St. Louis Rams (9-6)

4. #11 New York Giants (8-7)

All signs still point to a Tampa Bay-Washington showdown in the conference championship game. As talked about above New Orleans is all but in. #15 Detroit plays #6 Green Bay in week 16 to close the season, and since they beat them a few weeks ago, they could do it again! #16 St. Louis closes The Season against #5 San Francisco, and they don't have much of a chance. #11 New York Giants end the season against #17 Dallas. So it is very possible that The St. Louis Rams, New York Giants and Detroit Lions fans could end the Season 9-7. It will be an exciting week 16!

Bandwagon

A reminder that once the Playoffs start if your team has been eliminated it's time to jump on the bandwagon and find a new team. If your team is eliminated again, you can jump on a new bandwagon and keep riding the wave of excitement right up to the championship. Start thinking about which team you want to support!

Once again, and it's not too late, I encourage all winless teams (Atlanta, Buffalo, Arizona) to RECRUIT PLAYERS. Seriously, do you really want to be known as the dumbest fans in the NFL? Really?

NOTE: Unlike the NFL, NO teams on The Season have bye-weeks. Look at The Season schedule to see who you are playing during your team's bye-week.

NOTE: There will be NO GAME on December 23rd.

WEEK 16 GAMES TO WATCH (Week 16 is on Dec. 30th, NOT Dec. 23rd)

Detroit Lions (#13) vs. Green Bay Packers (#12)

If Detroit wins, they are in! Enough Said. It's winning time.

Kansas City Chiefs (#4) vs. Denver Broncos (#15)

If Kansas City wins then they have the honor of being named the smartest fans in the AFC West. Do you think Denver can pull off the upset?
