Except if you're in the two local markets, since the TV contract mandates that all games in a local team's market be shown over the air.

It should be on local TV if you're in the Baltimore area.

I'm taking Dallas tomorrow night.

The Jets/Dolphins winner next week will win the division if they also win this week, or if the Patriots lose once. Both own tiebreakers over the Patriots, as do the Ravens.

YES! I went through last night's game thinking the spread was 7.5.

That should be a solid pick, I think. Cardinals are awful on the east coast. I think either you'll win it this week or we'll tie the season. I started off with New Orleans, then switched to Denver until I found out there'd be cold temperatures and a possible winter storm at game time. CC - Houston Kahran - New England

Say what? The Jets haven't won a game on the west coast this season (they've gone 0-3 against the Niners, Chargers and Raiders). The Cardinals haven't won a game on the east coast this season. I'd say a Jets loss is a wee bit more likely than a Pats loss this week.

I'm very nervous about my pick this week. I don't have a lot of faith in any of the three teams I was considering.

This round hasn't been good for me. I was going with Sarah and Ralphie with my next two picks.

No one had Sammy Baugh. Shocking.

Indy on Thursday. Yea to both proposals.

How monumentally stupid are the Titans? A free agent clause gets triggered because he won a glorified popularity contest that is slightly rigged toward "name" players? That's pretty bad.

Short of someone officially saying he died in 2008, if he was found dead in 2009, he died in 2009. Same goes for Castro or anyone else.

Teixeira to the Orioles looking dead: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3775042 I'm stunned that the O's wouldn't break the bank to get him. Isn't this a guy you consider breaking the bank for?

No, division record only counts if you're in the same division. Conference record is the first tiebreaker, but you'd be tied there. You don't have enough common games for that tiebreaker to come into effect. Next one is strength of victory, and it looks at first glance like you'd have that one, but I really don't know for sure.

They can wait until 6 days prior to flex for week 17. So, next Monday.

You'll probably tie him.

I loved him being announced as "Marshall from Ontario", too.

Well, this week looks to be the moment of truth. No easy no-brainer picks for either of us.

FOURTEEN picks different. Holy schnikes. Ball State: Navy, ND, N Illinois, Maryland, W Michigan, Houston, Oregon St, Iowa, Nebraska, Michigan St, Cincinnati, Utah, Buffalo, Oklahoma Syracuse: Wake, Hawaii, La Tech, Nevada, Rice, Air Force, Pitt, S Carolina, Clemson, UGa, VaTech, Alabana, UConn, Florida

Note to kkk: You had Cleveland as 1-3 against the NFC heading into this week. The Browns were actually 0-3 against the NFC and 6-3-1 against the AFC, and they played their fourth NFC game against Philadelphia this week (and lost, making them 0-4 against the NFC).
