The Vikings.

Look at the schedule for these two teams.

Chicago

@Miami
Philadelphia
@Detroit
New England
@Minnesota
New York Jets
@Green Bay

Minnesota

@Chicago
Green Bay
@Washington
Buffalo
New York Giants
Chicago
@Philadelphia
@Detroit

Chicago has a pretty brutal schedule from here on out. They won't win a whole lot of games down the stretch.

Minnesota doesn't have the easiest schedule, either, but if they play like they did yesterday, they should be able to rack up some wins and make a push.

If they're coming from a 3-6 position, I'm not that worried. 4-5 is getting awfully close to a winning record, going into the last half of the season, though.

You say Vikings, but then you explain why it would be better for the Bears to win. I think you made a mistake.

At any rate, this is an easy one for me, without even looking at the schedules: We want the Bears to win, because they are not as talented as the Vikings and are therefore less of a threat.

To me it's a slam dunk. We should want a Bears win. They are awful and may not win another game all season looking at their schedule.

The Vikings are also pretty crappy but they have the pieces to do some damage if they keep their runaway train of a team somehow on the rails.

They are 3-5. If the Vikings lose three more games their season is over. They have to face the Pack, the Giants and Philly. Detroit may also give them a tough game.

as long as the packers do the homework and win their last 3 division games and one of the other 4, i don't care at all, who will win this game. this would give the packers 10-6 ovr and 5-1 in the division. that's enough to end up in front of the vikings for sure (even if they win all other games) and the bears will not finish better than 10-6, too.

Have none of you ever heard of a tie? If they both can't lose, then at least I want neither to win.

This question needs to be a poll, by the way. Maybe somebody who knows how to do those things could set it up.

Personally...I would love for the Queens to never win another game they will ever play...until the end of time, but hey.

For the purpose of this thread though, I still go Bears because their schedule is brutal, and Minny could somehow fuck up and turn things around for a bit and make things too close for comfort. They need that foot on their throat!

Go Bears!

The Cards helped us a couple years ago.. yesterday they could have yet again against the same Vikes.. they came close.

IMO.. I would rather face the Bears in the playoffs than the Vikes.. the Vikes have enough talent for any given Sunday. The Bears, well they have Cutler.. case closed. ;)

Can we have a tie. 😉

I'm rooting for Chilly to get outcoached again! I don't know why I dislike that man so much, I just do. He has this unwarranted arrogance about him that is frustrating.

I know I rooted for Chicago last year, but that was for different reasons. I think there would be no circumstance in which I would root for the Vikings.

I'd just be reiterating what has already been covered, so I'll just say I want the Bears to win in a hard fought, exhausting game.

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (10h) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (10h) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (11h) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (11h) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (11h) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (11h) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (12h) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (12h) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (12h) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : God help me but I'm rooting for the Vikings to...Vikings to...Christ I can't say it

Zero2Cool (15h) : Owner ... love it

Zero2Cool (15h) : Mayo was the guy they groomed for HC and one of the reasons they let Bill go.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Pats have the #4 pick, lots of cap space and Maye at QB; should fetch some attention

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Well that didn't take long; Jerod Mayo out as Patriots HC

Zero2Cool (16h) : I would expect it to be higher in favor of Eagles

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Thst line seems...generous

Zero2Cool (23h) : That gives them their best chance

Mucky Tundra (4-Jan) : Stinks for Lloyd. Hoping he comes back strong for next year

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!
