As always, thanks to Jeric Griffin from TheCowboysCentral.com for his help. Here are the picks for Week 14 of the 2010 NFL season.

FF All-Matchup Team: Start These Guys in Week 15

So you survived Week 1 of the playoffs, eh? Or are you just in one of those off-putting leagues that first starts playoffs in Week 15? (Quick side note: I had to look up “off-putting” because I thought it was “off-pudding,” which in hindsight makes no sense. Why would pudding be disconcerting? Everybody loves pudding. [...]

www.RantSports.com 2010 NFL Power Rankings: Week 15

The 2011 NFL playoff picture is beginning to become more clear after some big games from Week 15. While the Falcons continue to soar on top of the NFC, it’s safe to say the Patriots will run away with the AFC East after the Jets dropped two games back following a loss to the Dolphins. [...]

FF All-Matchup Team: Stay Away From These Guys in Week 15

John Fox has been a lameduck head coach this season and based on the penny-pinching moves of the ownership, even if he’s offered a job, why would he return. After watching all 65 pre-season [...]

Atlanta Falcons trying to inch closer to NFC home field

The Atlanta Falcons, 10-2, head to Carolina to take on the Panthers this afternoon where they look to inch closer to locking up NFC home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Much has been made about the Falcons play in the Georgia Dome, and that is well documented. The Falcons are described as a team which [...]

Start’em and Sit’em: Sunday’s early games

Cleveland at Buffalo Start: Peyton Hillis–He’s a given. Though the Dolphins figured out how to slow him down last week, the Bills really pose no defensive threat except Paul Posluszny. Ryan Fitzpatrick–I also really like Ryan Fitzpatrick in this matchup. He has Lee Evans and Steve Johnson to throw to and he has hit Johnson [...]
