NFL WEEK 14 RESULTS: HERALD PICKS X GREG'S LOBOS X QB RANKINGS:

Herald Picks: Our worst week ever. Please don't read this -- We started off OK last Thursday night; had Rams with the points. All downhill from there. went 6-7 overall and had a mark against the spread that is a career-worst at 2-11. Got a bit unlucky on some starting QBs going out early, but no excuses. A miserable week. Now let's finish strong!

LobosGreg's Lobos: Big win, playoff-bound and repeat-title hungry! -- The defending PFPI Fantasy champion Lobos enter the playoffs at 9-5 after beating son Michael last week 114-88 behind Trevor Lawrence's 33 points. We tied for the second-best record but are the No. 4 seed based on the total-points tiebreaker. Face my wife (uh oh) in the playoff opener of our 10-team family 'n friends fantasy league. Can you say back-to-back, Jack!?

NFL QB Rankings: Herbert wins week, moves up; Tua tumbles -- Chargers' Justin Herbert win the Week 14 title and moves to second place behind KC's Patrick Mahomes for the season in the Miami Herald NFL Quarterback Rankings. Miami's Tua Tagovailao tumbles two spots to 11th. For the full latest Top 25 and more, visit NFL Week 14 QB Rankings.
