    As mentioned last week, I'm involved in an NFL suicide league. We have to pick one team to LOSE each week and cannot pick the same team twice.

    I got some good advice from OT in week 15 and ended up picking BUF instead of HOU (like I originally planned) so I'm still in the contest. Thanks!

    So, I'm back for more advice

    This contest started in week 8 and there are 3 other players besides me left in the main bracket.

    I've already used up the following teams:
    <table border="1" bordercolor="#333333" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td bgcolor="#ffffdd">IND
    </td><td bgcolor="#ffffdd">DET
    </td><td bgcolor="#ffffdd">CHI
    </td><td bgcolor="#ffffdd">OAK
    </td><td bgcolor="#ffffdd">CIN
    </td><td bgcolor="#ffffdd">SEA
    </td><td bgcolor="#ffffdd">CLE
    </td><td bgcolor="#ffffdd">BUF
    </td></tr></tbody></table>

    Here are teams I'm considering for week 16:

    IND @ JAC (JAC)

    ARZ @ NWE (ARZ)

    I think it is better to pick against Arizona because they have to travel to the east coast to play against a new england team that it is in a must win situation.

    However, I think talentwise that IND @ JAC is an easier matchup than ARZ @ NWE.

    The Jags are terrible this year but I guess they will play hard against IND b/c it is a division rival.

    There are a few other picks that might be playable but I like them a lot less:

    MIA @ KC

    SF @ STL - This one would be pretty good as STL sucks but I would like to pick STL @ ATL in week 17, so for now, this one is out.

    GB @ CHI

    What do you think?

    JAX sucks this year. It's not last year people, they're just no good this year.

    My personal choice, and I think this is an easy one, is KC losing to MIA. MIA are gonna play their hearts out every week to get that last playoff spot and I just dont see them losing to KC.

    Another situation (if you really hate the miami one) I could see you doing is picking SF over STL, then using JAX to lose to BAL in week 17.

    I dont like Indy and Jax this week, because as others have said, Indy is banged up. The defense couldn't stop the Lions, and will probably have a tough time stopping Jax.

    New England is way too sketchy, one week they throw up 50, the next they lose to a chump team. It's way too tough to pick them for anything.

    I personally like MIA over KC, or SF over the Rams, then picking BAL over Jax in 17

    Indy on the road
    Jets in OT
    Steelers owned them
    Dolphs owned them early in the season on the road
    @SD Early in the season

    I would definitely not go with KC, I see them playing spoiler this weekend - I would pick AZ most likely, if I wasn't too sure about them, I would go with GB, I don't see the Bears losing this one.....

    Divisional/rivalry games vs teams with decent talent and nothing to lose are not ez games ever. just go with the team that just got smeared at home and now takes that show up to the weather in New England

    id go with zona as well. New England WILL NOT lose that game, never ever ever in a million years. If ur worried Kurt Warner might have a miracle week, I'd pick Green Bay. They have nothing to play for and the bears need a win to preserve any hope, however depending what happens on sunday they may be elminated by monday night, so id stay away from that game

    Exactly why I make Packers my pick this week. The Bears HAVE TO WIN!!!!!!!!!! The packers suck! Yes Az has to go to New England but Az has talent and talent can win u games. I think you need to go with GB here. GL

    No interest in taking the Saints over the Lions? I actually sort of think the Lions might win, but I don't get why that's not an option for you.

    the packers have a mobile quarterback with nice offense weapons and an ok defense in a rivalry game where they can fck the bears over. the cards have nothing to play for. except to stay healthy.

    Should go with the Redskins, I feel fairly confident they will experience their worst loss of the season on Sunday.
