Tim Tebow is starting.
Quintana just put on his #15 Jersey.
Let's roll.
You know the drill. Peter King, a random number generator, and Tim Tebow all are stranded on a desert island. These picks and Tebow are the only survivors.
Let's see how everyone did this week:

I spoke to Doug Lee. We might just combine our win totals at the end of the year so that we can beat that total eclipse of the nerd, Jason Cole.
I have the slimmest of margins over Peter King with three weeks to go. Does it concern me that he might catch up? Yes, but so does global thermonuclear war. It doesn't mean that it is going to happen.

Quintana's Upset Specials
If you're not in on the joke or you don't read our good friend Ted Bartlett, Jesus Quintana is a cat. He makes picks. Yeah, it's strange. I know. But so is playing in eight fantasy football leagues, and that's not stopping most guys from ignoring their wives and scanning the latest injury report.
We always give the same warning. Don't follow Quintana's advice if you value your picks.
1) Buffalo over Miami. Fans of this weekly know Quintana's love for Jim Kelly. It doesn't stop this week.
2) Detroit over Tampa Bay. I'm just going to come clean. Quintana keeps picking the Lions because he's color blind; silver and blue look bad ass to him.
3) Denver over Oakland. Quintana sees the future. That future is Tebow. Your season is done, Oakland.
Peter King Actually Wrote This
"Looking more and more like Aaron Rodgers won't play. And from what I saw in Detroit, Matt Flynn against Bill Belichick is about as fair a fight as Peter King against Manny Pacquiao."
Yes, PK just put himself in the ring against Manny Pacquiao. God bless us, everyone.
