Regular Season Week 17

Happy New Year!!! It seems like week 16 was so long ago… I guess that’s what happens when there is no Thursday or Saturday football. All the games this week will be played on Sunday.  There will no longer be any Monday or Thursday night football for the rest of the season. I hate when the season comes to the end. This is the final week of the regular season. The Panthers are no longer perfect, the Giants have no hopes of making the playoffs, and there were a LOT of other upsets this past weekend in the NFL. I went 8-8 on my picks last week, but really with all the upsets I’m ok with this…

 Lets recap week sixteen.

Chargers @ Raiders 20-23 OT
I picked the Raiders to win and I was right.  This could very well be the last game the Raiders play in their stadium. Someone is moving to L.A…

Redskins @ Eagles 38-24
Well I was at a hockey game when this game started. It was nice, we had box seats and the home team won. Once this game came on a few of us crowded around a cellphone to watch… Clearly I was upset at the end of this game because the Redskins win kicked the Giants out of any hopes for the playoffs… I don’t know what was worse, rooting for the Eagles or watching them get annihilated.

49ers @ Lions 17-32
I mean, the 49ers made it a pretty easy day… Lions have won 5 of their last 7 games… That’s more than I can say for the Giants.

Steelers @ Ravens 17-20
This was one of the best upsets of the day, definitely top 3! Well done, Ravens!

Cowboys @ Bills 6-16
Would you look at that, the Bills finally got a win!

Bears @ Buccaneers 26-21
I really thought the Bucs were better…  

Panthers @ Falcons 13-20
Cam becomes a daddy and loses his first game of the season. This is also one of the best upsets of the day, probably number one, unless you think the Pats deserve that number.

Browns @ Chiefs 13-17
Cleveland could have gotten the win but time literally expired on them. PS this could have been Johnny Football’s last game in Cleveland, if it is, he really only has himself to blame.  

Colts @ Dolphins 18-12
Somehow the Colts keep winning. It’s weird, I know.

Patriots @ Jets 20-26 OT
J-E-T-S JETS, JETS, JETS!!!! This was another upset of the weekend. Bill Belichick denies any confusion in the coin toss in overtime. The Pats elected to kick off and the Jets drove down the field and scored a touchdown. GAME OVER. It was pretty exciting, if you’re not a Pats fan.

Texans @ Titans 34-6
Titans will most likely get the first pick in the draft. Look on the bright side.  

Jaguars @ Saints 27-38
The Jags really didn’t show up until the second half. It’s not like this game counted for anything…

Packers @ Cardinals 8-38
This was such an UGLY game to watch especially if you are a Packers fan. The Cardinals threw around Aaron Rodgers like a rag doll. It wasn’t pretty. I really thought that the Packers were better, at the same time, could the Cardinals really be THAT good?  

Rams @ Seahawks 23-17
I’d have to say that this was another pretty big upset game. Good for you Rams.  

NY Giants @ Vikings 17-49
I somehow knew that if the Redskins won that the Giants wouldn’t show up at all against the Vikings and I was right. It was embarrassing to watch but at the same time not stressful knowing that there wouldn’t be any post season.

Bengals @ Broncos 17-20 OT
My mom and I went to down to NC to get some of my things and visit with my special people. We were at Duckworths Monday night and caught the first half of this game. It did not look good for the Broncos and we seemed to be surrounded by Cincinnati fans.  This didn’t detour me at all, being that I was obviously cheering for the Broncos.  The game turned around and the Broncos won in overtime. It was very exciting.


WEEK 17

Sunday January 3rd     

NY Jets (10-5) @ Bills (7-8) [1:00pm CBS]
I’m going to have to pick the Jets. They are one of those “Win and In” teams they could also get in with a Pittsburgh loss, but they are playing the Browns so the Jets might as well just win.

Patriots (12-3) @ Dolphins (5-10) [1:00pm CBS]
I’m picking the Patriots but will be rooting for the Dolphins. The Patriots are playing for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs (they already have the first round bye). With a win or a Denver loss they get home field advantage.

Saints (6-9) @ Falcons (8-7) [1:00pm FOX]
This game really means nothing so I’ll pick the Falcons.

Lions (6-9) @ Bears (6-9) [1:00pm FOX]
This, though a divisional game, they are only playing for pride. I’m going with the Lions.

Eagles (6-9) @ NY Giants (6-9) [1:00pm FOX]
Here is another meaningless meaningful game. I’m picking the Giants for one last win before next season. I hate the offseason, so lets go out on a high note. Go GMEN!

Redskins (8-7) @ Cowboys (4-11)  [1:00pm FOX]
I am taller than the Cowboys record (and I’m not tall at all, let alone an average height. I’m short, 4’11½ ”) I’m picking the Redskins for the win.

Titans (3-12) @ Colts (7-8) [1:00pm CBS]
There is a chance that the Colts could make the playoffs but it’s so slim that there’d be a better chance of Brett Favre starting for Green Bay this Sunday… Honesty, I just don’t want to type all the things that need to happen in order for Indi to be playoff bound, though I am picking the Colts to win this particular game.

Ravens (5-10) @ Bengals (11-4) [1pm FOX]
Cincinnati is already in the playoffs, but could clinch a first round bye with: a win plus a Denver loss or tie OR a Cincinnati tie and a Denver loss OR a Denver loss and a Kansas City win. I’m picking the Bengals for the win.

Steelers (9-6) @ Browns (3-12) [1:00pm CBS]
The Steelers still have a chance at making the playoffs but only with a win AND a Jets loss. I’m picking them to win their game but not make the playoffs.

Jaguars (5-10) @ Texans (8-7) [1:00pm CBS]
The Texans can clinch the AFC South with a win or tie OR an Indi loss or tie. I’m picking the Texans for the win.

Raiders (7-8) @ Chiefs (10-5) [1:00pm FOX]
The Chiefs can clinch the AFC West with a win AND a Denver loss.  I’m picking the Chiefs for the win.

Chargers (4-11) @ Broncos (11-4) [4:25pm CBS]
The Broncos can clinch home-field advantage throughout the playoffs with a win AND a Patriots loss. They can clinch a first round bye with a win OR a tie and a Cincinnati loss or tie OR a KC loss or tie and Cincinnati loss. I’m picking the Broncos to win. Peyton Manning will be playing the role of backup QB.

Buccaneers (6-9) @ Panthers (14-1) [4:25pm FOX]
Carolina can clinch home-field throughout the playoffs with a win, tie, or an Arizona loss or tie. I’m picking the Panthers to win.

Seahawks (9-6) @ Cardinals (13-2) [4:25pm FOX]
Coincidentally, the Cardinals can clinch home-field with a win AND a Carolina loss. I’m picking the Cardinals to win.

Rams (7-8)  @ 49ers (4-11)[4:25pm CBS]
This is just another game that has no playoff implications. I’m picking the Rams to win.

Vikings (10-4) @ Packers (10-5) [8:30pm NBC]
Green Bay will clinch the NFC North with a win or a tie. I’m picking the Packers for the win, but they MUST protect their QB a LOT better this week.



GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Mom!!!!!
