Oh my goodness gracious, what a week sixteen football fans. We saw everything from last minute comebacks to catastrophic collapses to record breaking performances, to say the least it was the perfect prelude to what should be a doozie of a season finale. A lot of the things we saw this past Sunday were things that perhaps not even I could have predicted at the start, middle, or even towards the end of this season. Many of the things that make us ask the question: “What are the chances?” Chances are it was bound to happen, chances are that the chances  of it happening were so slim that seeing it happen wasn’t even surprising, chances are you’re probably wondering why I haven’t even gotten a degree in probability yet since I have been talking about chances so much but chances are you just want to read some analysis and highlights so here ya go kiddos. As you guys asked (or perhaps did not ask, it really depends on what you put on your Christmas list), here are my weekly reactions from week sixteen.
