A big game with a lot of playoff seeding implications and emotional overtones.  This one makes me nervous, but I'm going with the Chargers 24-17.

What say you all?

Here is my rough take on the seasons Carnacs & Leafs including last weeks Browns game:

Well there you have it; JeromeB is king of the hill with Kipper a close second.  StrangeBro has the lead in Leafs with just two.  I ran through pretty quick so give a shout if you think I missed something.

Ok, on to Cowboy predictions; I predict they beat the Indians.  Whoops, I mean the Chargers beat Wade & Company in a shootout 38-27.  What say you all?

This week BFTB'rs outdid themselves.  In a remarkable twist there were no less than three folks who share the Carnac.  Johnny Dub, Kipper and Catch-22b were all a scant four points off from a total of 57 points scored.  Well done:

The sole Chief participant went down in leaf; I hear tomato baths can get rid of the smell Chief Fan 85.

Best of luck against the Broncos though.

Prediction time.  The Chargers are on a roll, and the browns are rolling the other way.  Still they played the Bengals pretty tough; but also have a number of players banged up.  I say the Chargers roll in the cold, 27-13.  What say you all?

Nice that the blackout is lifted. 

Now we can all enjoy the Bolts 27-10 victory.

The Chargers placed Jeromey Clary on injured reserve, meaning he has played his last game this season.  The Chargers have signed Clary's ankle was injured in the second half as he had to be carted off the field.  Jeromey Clary has been the target of considerable criticism since taking over the right tackle position.  This season he had struggled early on, but was playing much better currently.  How much his loss will affect the Chargers remains to be seen.

In his college career Clary blocked for Darren Sproles at Kansas State, helping Sproles to achieve the rushing title.  Clary came in to replace Shane Olivea who had a back injury back in 2007 and was apparently struggling with off-field issues.  The Chargers running game immediately picked up as the rushed for 880 yards and eight rushing touchdowns over the course of the final five games.

Time seems to be slowing down in the approach to the key game to the AFC West Division.  I don't have a great feel for this game, despite the injury to Orton.  I think this will be close, Chargers 27-24.

What say you, would be Carnacs?

"When the number of factors coming into play in a phenomenological complex is too large scientific method in most cases fails. One need only think of the weather, in which case the prediction even for a few days ahead is impossible." 

Pfft, Albert Einstein, what did he know, Bolts 28-24.

JollyWaffle stepped up and grabbed a Carnac this week.  No waffling this week he came in a mere three points away from the final score.

The Maestro ran off with the Leaf by picking the Giants to thump the Chargers by two touchdowns. 

Into every life a little Leaf must fall.
