Regular Season Week 17

This is the final week of the regular season. Tear, or Thank the Lord. I guess it depends on how well your team did this season. I am thankful the season is almost over. Yes, I will miss watching my team play, but I won’t miss watching my team lose. Because this is the last weekend of the regular season, there will not be any Thursday night games nor any Monday night games. The regular season will be over late Sunday night.

I am still in NY for one more day. And of course I am once again waiting until the last minute to write my report. You know they say if it weren’t for the last minute I wouldn’t have any time at all…

We had another death in the family so I won’t be able to watch all the games this weekend (I’ll be at calling hours for my Aunt Marge), but my dad had the brilliant idea of DVRing the Giants game so when I get back to my parents tomorrow night we’ll watch it together. Week 16 was pretty epic so before we move into week 17 Let’s recap week 16. I went 11-5 this past week on picks.

Dolphins @ Bills  0-19

What?! The Bills shut out the Dolphins? I’m shocked… really! 16 weeks and I still can’t figure the Bills out.

Vikings @ Bengals 14-42

This game wasn’t as shocking. The Bengals really put a hurting on the Vikings. Ouch.

Broncos @ Texans 37-13

Peyton Manning ties and then breaks the record of passing touchdowns in one season tying Brady at 50 and then setting a new record at 51! Peyton is the Man… ing.

Titans @ Jaguars  20-16

 For a minute there I thought that the Jags may upset the Titans… but they didn’t.

Saints @ Panthers 13-17

This was a hell of a game and I’m glad that the Panthers won. The team showed up, the rain showed up, and the twelfth man showed up. My dad and I watched this game together… it was the first time I ever actually wanted to see the Panthers play.

Browns @ Jets 13-24

I wanted the Browns to win. My dad and I also watched this game (we had quite the setup in the living room, watching the games on the TV, Computer, and laptop) my dad was going for the Jets. He says its more fun to pick separate teams… I disagree. Sorry Brownies.

Colts @ Chiefs 23-7

This surprised me. I thought this would be a win for the Chiefs, but obviously I was wrong.

Cowboys @ Redskins 24-23

What. A. Game. My dad and I were both pulling for the Redskins and watching this game together. It was a heartbreaking ending but not surprising. At least Romo is out for the rest of the season… which shouldn’t be that much longer.

Buccaneers @ Rams 13-23

Yay, St. Louis! I knew you could do it.

Giants @ Lions 23-20 OT

Holy Shit, the Giants won, it’s a Christmas miracle. Or, is it another way the Giants screw themselves out of a good first round draft pick? Either way, I’m really glad that I was able to watch the game with my dad.

Cardinals @ Seahawks 17-10

I still can’t believe that the Cardinals beat the Seahawks at home…

Raiders @ Chargers 13-26

This is one of the few games that actually ended the way I thought it would.

Steelers @ Packers 38-31

Stupid Steelers… at least Aaron Rodgers will be back next week.

Patriots @ Ravens 41-7

I’m saying it now… the Ravens are done.

Bears @ Eagles 11-54

 I really have nothing to say about this game. Did the Bears even show up? I don’t think so.

Falcons @ 49ers 24-35

 It would have been more shocking had the Falcons won…

I’m picking the Patriots for the win although my dad says the Bills will win. I think he’s crazy… but I love him.

Rams (7-8) @ Seahawks (12-3) [4:25pm FOX]

I’m taking the Seahawks.

Packers (7-7-1) @ Bears (8-7) [4:25pm FOX]

49ers (11-4) @ Cardinals (10-5) [4:25pm FOX]

I’d love to see the Cardinals upset the 9ers. I think they can do it. This will be my crazy pick of the week… Cards over the 9ers.

Broncos (12-3) @ Raiders (4-11) [4:25pm CBS]

I’m picking the Broncos, may Peyton have many more touchdowns.

Chiefs (11-4) @ Chargers (8-7) [4:25pm CBS]

 I’m taking the Chiefs over the Chargers.

Eagles (9-6) @ Cowboys (8-7) [8:30pm NBC]

Romo is out for the season so I’ll be rooting for the Cowboys even though I’m picking the Eagles to win, although I’d really love for this game to end in a tie so that no one can “win” the NFC East… they are all clearly losers and none of them deserve the honor.  

There are NO BYEs this week.

GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the edit Mom!!!!!!!
