For Redskins Fans: Number Seven Is Not Lucky

The Washington Redskins currently sit in the number seven spot for the NFC playoffs. Unfortunately, there are only six playoff spots available.

If RGIII, Alfred Morris and the rest of the skins have any say in it, this will change – for the better.

It all starts with yet another improbable win against the beltway rivals, Baltimore Ravens, and a host of other teams – losing; namely the rest of the NFC east contenders AND the Seattle Seahawks.

So, it is with this thought in mind that I, RedskinDoug, am placing my bets choices this week as well as my selection for upset of the week.

So without further ado, mostly to get this submitted before the start of the Thursday Night NFL game between the Denver Broncos and Oakland Raiders, here are the prognosticator picks for week 14.

The Next Dynamic Duos Of The AFC

Dynamic Duos of the AFC?

For this installment of Dynamic Duos, lets get some things out on the table first.

–          The AFC is full of Rookies and First Timers.  First Timers are almost like rookies except they have experience but are with new teams, new coaches, and new personnel.

–          The AFC is full of teams vying for top position on the Neilson Reality TV Ratings and Headline Media Wars.  It’s like reading a who’s who of upcoming tv shows for the fall season.

 

 

And like my Dynamic Duos of the NFC, I will purposely ignore (some) of the obvious ones.

After all, we are trying to pick the Next Dynamic Duos.

So, who are the contestants?

First up:  NY Jets

The AFL Eight!

This season marks the 50th season for the eight original American Football League teams. As part of the celebration, the eight original AFL teams will wear historic uniforms during Legacy Games.
