I have some good news and some bad news. Both have to do with fantasy football.

I was in three leagues this season. I won two leagues and got third in another.

That’s the good news. The bad news? I’m likely going to get myself in trouble next year.

Because of the overwhelming success I had this year, I’ll probably play in somewhere around 10 leagues next year and have hundreds and hundreds of dollars on the line.

And if I don’t win, that would qualify as bad news.

But I’ll worry about that next year.

I went 10-6 with my picks last week (even though I forgot to post them on this blog. I posted them before the games were played on www.lebanon-express.com).

This is the last week of regular season games. It’s been a good one.

Sunday

Colts at Bills: Considering Indy will probably rest its starters for most of the game, I’ll take Buffalo at home to beat the Colts’ scrubs.

Jaguars at Browns: Cleveland is hot right now. It’s not something that is usually said about a 4-11 team. I’ll take them against Jacksonville.

Bears at Lions: Um, I guess I’ll go with Chicago and Jay Cutler’s three interceptions.

49ers at Rams: St. Louis has a chance to wrap up the worst record in the NFL this week and secure the No. 1 pick in the draft, so I don’t think they’ll want to screw that up by beating San Francisco. I’ll take the 49ers.

Steelers at Dolphins: If Pittsburgh makes the playoffs, I’m going to be upset. They’ve played terribly all year, yet still have a chance to grab a spot in the playoffs. I guess I’ll pick them to beat Miami, but I just don’t like them.

Giants at Vikings: Which Giants team are we going to see? Which Minnesota team? I don’t know anymore. I’ll take the Vikings, just because they’re at home.

Falcons at Buccaneers: Tampa Bay beat New Orleans last week. How?! I have to take Atlanta in this one.

Saints at Panthers: I wouldn’t be surprised if either team wins. But I need to make a pick. Give me the Saints.

Patriots at Texans: Is New England going to rest its starters? The outcome will be directly related to that question. I’ll say yes and pick Houston to win.

Eagles at Cowboys: Great game. I haven’t checked to see if this games means anything to either team when it comes to playoff positioning, but I hope it does. I have to go with Philly, who is playing really, really well right now.

Chiefs at Broncos: I want to thank Jamaal Charles for carrying my teams down the stretch of the fantasy football season. I have my eye on you for next year. But I’m taking Denver in this one.

Ravens at Raiders: I’ll take Baltimore.

Packers at Cardinals: Another good game. I’m pretty excited for the playoffs. My pick is Green Bay.

Redskins at Chargers: Washington is a mess right now. Why would they show up for the last game of the year? San Diego will win.

Titans at Seahawks: Seattle is the same position as Washington. Terrible, terrible team. Give me the Titans.

Bengals at Jets: Not sure about this one. I’ll take New York, I guess.

After the Direct TV debacle I finally resolved a couple months ago, I was left with four channels.

I understand that my options are limited, but you would think there would be something on TV that would at least slightly entertain me.

Wrong.

TV just isn’t what it used to be. There are way too many brutally boring and pointless reality shows. And to make it worse, there are knockoffs of reality shows!

And the obvious solution is to do something other than watch TV.

I’ll remember that next time. For now, it’s football season, baby!
