Well folks hard to believe but there is only 2 weeks left of Regular season play. Before we get to the headlines and the picks. We have to acknowledge the unexpected death of John Madden. This is by far one of the greatest analysts in NFL history. The one time Oakland Raiders even led them to a Super Bowl in the 1970’s, and even had one of the best winning percentages back then. His broadcasting career is legendary 1979-2008 being an NFL analyst. The 2 things i like from Madden was the All-Madden teams and the video games. John Madden one of the best all time, passed away at the age of 85. Now for the headlines, as Ben Rothlisberger has announced potentially this may be his last appearence in Pittsburgh as retirement looms large for him. The Steelers still have a shot at the playoffs, but will need to win out in order to make that a reality. There are still playoff spots up for grabs here in the final two weeks of the regular season. So we are going to get some great games here this week. The Miami Dolphins have had an interesting season, they once had a 7 game Losing Streak. Now they have won 7 in a row, and still have a shot at making the playoffs. First NFL team ever to have a 7 game losing streak and a 7 game winning streak in the same season. Now for an update on my picks as we start a new month here. Last week in Week 16 I went 10-6, and ended December 39-21. On the season I am now 143-96-1 on my regular season picks.
