Week 15 picks - 'tis the season! This week's criterion is whichever team is more closely related to holiday festivities. The relation to the holidays can come in any form -- songs, team colors, mascot, player name, whatever.
Denver 6-7 Houston 6-7 Denver Broncos (Linebacker Louis Green) outjingles Houston Texans (Running Back Ahman Green)
Cincinnati 5-8 San Francisco 3-10 Cincinnati Bengals (Wide Receiver Skyler Green) lights more Chanukah candles over San Francisco 49ers (Linebacker Roderick Green)
Seattle 9-4 Carolina 5-8 Seattle Seahawks (four guys are named Green: Howard and Marcus {Defensive Tackles}, Brandon {Defensive End} and Michael {Defensive Back}) throw more snowballs than Carolina Panthers (backup QB Vinny Testaverde -- Testaverde means "green head". 'Nuff said)
Buffalo 7-6 Cleveland 8-5 Buffalo Bills (Buffalo is very snowy and hence has a good chance of having a white Xmas) outsnows Cleveland Browns (Defensive Back "Saint" Nick Sorensen)
Tennessee 7-6 Kansas City 4-9 Tennessee Titans (Wide Receiver David Givens -- 'tis the season for giving) regifts over Kansas City Chiefs (Center Rudy Niswanger -- does he have a very shiny nose?)
Baltimore 4-9 Miami 0-13 Baltimore Ravens (Running Back Justin Green) outelves Miami Dolphins (Miami's about as far South and hot as you can get and still be in the continguous 48 states. Total opposite of winter: automatic loss!)
NY Jets 3-10 New England 13-0 New England Patriots (Defensive End Jarvis Green) eats more Christmas cookies than New York Jets (green is main team color)
Arizona 6-7 New Orleans 6-7 New Orleans Saints (Saints, Saint Nicholas, it's kismet!) outmagi the Arizona Cardinals (cardinals are winter birds)
Jacksonville 9-4 Pittsburgh 9-4 Pittsburgh Steelers (isn't Santa's sled made of steel? And Pittsburgh's near Bethlehem) dashes and dances over Jacksonville Jaguars (Wide Receiver Dennis Northcutt -- he's gotta be from the North Pole, right?)
Green Bay 11-2 St. Louis 3-10 Green Bay Packers (green is main team color) outcarols St. Louis Rams (couldn't find anything good! Automatic loss!)
Atlanta 3-10 Tampa Bay 8-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (red is main team color) outwraps Atlanta Falcons (With Linebacker Steven {Saint?} Nicholas, they've got a chance)
Indianapolis 11-2 Oakland 4-9 Indianapolis Colts (Long Snapper Justin Snow) puts the windchill on Oakland Raiders (Defensive Tackle Jared Claus -- is there a Mrs. Clauss?)
Philadelphia 5-8 Dallas 12-1 Dallas Cowboys (Kicker's name is Nicholas Folk. St. Nicholas? The signs are there) buys more presents than Philadelphia Eagles (Cornerback "Saint" Nick Graham)
Detroit 6-7 San Diego 8-5 San Diego Chargers (Center "Saint" Nick Hardwick) has a taller tree than Detroit Lions (Defensive Tackle Cory Redding)
Washington 6-7 NY Giants 9-4 New York Giants (Center "Saint" Nick Jones) makes a list and checks it twice faster than Washington Redskins (red is main team color)
Chicago 5-8 Minnesota 7-6 (score) Minnesota Vikings (Minnesota is snowy and cold and hence has a good chance of having a white Xmas) dreams of more sugar plums than Chicago Bears (Kicker "Saint"Nick Novak)
As in 37 of them. Thank you.

CowDoc, Which one is your's?
The first one is mine. Who else would be dumb enough to pick the Chiefs in an upset?? The second one is Miz Cowdoc's. She's the one that wouldn't sign a second post. Says something about our household in general, I guess.
As a matter of fact, that's the only one we differ on this week. Hope you're right on all the rest. LOL

Best wishes to all A2Kers in the NE US today/tonight. Projected to be nasty weather there. Please check in.
I think the Steelers-Jaguar game is the toss-up game for this week.
Agreed, CI. Watch the weather in Pittsburgh. Could be colder than a witch's tit with snow. I hope Jax isn't ready for that.
