This week should clear up most of the confusion in the playoff race so we’re not saddled with things like “if win OR tie AND loss or tie OR tie and tie…” The NFC is a complete mess but the AFC picture really comes down to the AFC North games. The featured games are Bengals at Steelers, Giants at Ravens, and Niners at Seahawks.

We celebrate the end of Thursday Night Football, give you some homegrown knowledge of San Francisco that’s completely not football related, and try to dig out of the hole from last week. The featured games this week are Packers at Bears, Steelers at Cowboys, and Niners at Patriots. And don’t miss a completely uninformed discussion on race relations between real black guys and cornball black guys.

The rumors of Andy Reid returning for another season have Vin so depressed that he had to take the week off. Mike Ciccarone fills in this week to discuss playoff positioning and why the Giants will win the Super Bowl.

It’s week 13 but it doesn’t feel like the playoff positioning race is on yet. Maybe because there are too many teams that are just hanging around the middle of the pack and refuse to either die (Rex Ryan still thinks the Jets have a shot.) or position themselves at the head of the wildcard pack. The featured games this week are Colts at Lions, Bucs at Broncos, and Giants at Redskins.

Ryan returns on a Very Special Sportscolumn NFL Picks… By special, we mean the usual biased picks and inappropriate humor — just a day early! As far as we’re concerned, this is the only Thursday in which football should be allowed. None of those nonsense NFL network games for us.

The featured game sthis week are Falcons at Bucs, Ravens at Chargers, and Packers at Giants. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!

After another strong showing and a tie to mess up all the numbers (we’re simply ignoring the tie), we’re back to keep the streak going. The featured games this week are Eagles at Redskins, Bucs at Panthers, Packers at Lions, and Ravens at Steelers. Because Vin is sick and cannot laugh without coughing, RJ decides to break out his best comedy material for this podcast just to be an ass.

We’re back after a strong showing. Who knew that not talking about games made for better picks. Unfortunately, we’re back to talking about the games this week as we’re fully recovered from Sandy. The featured games this week are Falcons at Saints, Broncos at Panthers, and Texans at Bears. Can the Saints hand the Falcons their first loss? Will John Fox get revenge? Will Jay Cutler play like a little bitch? All this on the podcast.

For the first time in seven years, we don’t have a podcast to go with the picks this week. Thanks a bunch, Sandy. People can go without power, heat, potable water, but to deprive them of our weekly NFL picks? That’s just criminal. Almost as criminal as Jason Babin calling out Eagles fans with his tweets.

We had a nice bounceback week last week and hope to continue that trend this week as we fight to get above water against the spread. Lots of intriguing games this week as 6 out of the 14 games have a field goal and under spread. And there’s all sorts of trash talking going on between the Jets and the Dolphins which always makes for good theater.

This week, the featured games are Falcons at Eagles, Giants at Cowboys, and Saints at Broncos.

In the history of this podcast, we’ve never done as poorly as we did last week. The solution? Bring back the replacement refs! At least then we have an excuse for why we suck. For the first time all year, we have two hosts go head to head on the Locks of the Week. Since everyone seems to be getting their locks wrong, the game will end in a ATS tie — even at 10.5 points. Somehow this will happen.

This week, the featured games are Saints at Bucs, Ravens at Texans, and Redskins at Giants.
