We're into the final quarter of the NFL regular season and the final three weeks of most fantasy seasons, with the playoffs starting this week for many leagues.
And if you think you've figured out this NFL season, try explaining how the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers could both fall in key games to losing teams the same week.
Of course, you can't see those wild ones coming. And succeeding in the final weeks will require navigating a few more unexpected twists. Let's take a look at a few critical questions that could go a long way in determining how your league pans out.
When will the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints clinch home field?
The Colts could wrap things up at home against the Denver Broncos, which means they would have nothing to play for in your semifinal and championship weeks.
Their undefeated streak adds another element of uncertainty, and it seems inconceivable Indianapolis would let its key players take a full month off.
What is clear is Peyton Manning, Joseph Addai and Reggie Wayne will get some rest in at least the two final games. If you count on them, and you don't have a backup plan, you need one quick. If your trade deadline has passed, you will have to try to pick up players such as San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith or Miami Dolphins wide receiver Davone Bess, who have enjoyed late-season success.
