Regular Season Week
17
HAPPY NEW YEAR! May 2017 be better than 2016! This is the
last week of the regular season, so all the games are on Sunday. I don’t know
about you, but I went through a little bit of a withdrawal not watching
football on Thursday night. On the other hand, it was nice not having to write
this report mid week. As you can see, I’ve waited until the last minute to write
and post this. I went 8-8 in my picks (which is terrible),
the Giants lost, BUT I am a fantasy football champion once again winning this
past week in the 1st place bracket.
Here’s the recap.
NY Giants @ Eagles 19-24
It’s a good thing that this game was Thursday night
therefore it didn’t ruin Christmas. Shake my head. Should’ve watched Silver
Linings Playbook, at least the Giants beat the Eagles in that movie.
Vikings @ Packers 25-38
I’d like to thank Jordy Nelson for helping me secure first
place in my fantasy league. I’d also like to thank Aaron Rodgers, even though
he wasn’t on my team, he threw it to Jordy enough.
Titans @ Jaguars 17-38
You think you know a team…The Titans lost the game and lost
their starting QB after he suffered a broken leg in the 3rd quarter.
Jets @ Patriots 3-41
Dear Jets, at least it wasn’t a shut out.
Chargers @ Browns 17-20
THE BROWNS WON THEIR FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON!!!!!! The
Chargers became “that team” that lost to the Browns.
Redskins @ Bears 41-21
Well, the Bears played like, the Bears so the Redskins won.
Falcons @ Panthers 33-16
It’s amazing what a difference a season can make. The
Panthers never recovered from that Super Bowl hangover.
Dolphins @ Bills 34-31 OT
Got to watch this game with some family who are Bills fans
to boot. We all said bye bye to Rex Ryan at the end of overtime. Rex and Rob
Ryan were both let go in the days to follow.
Colts @ Raiders 25-33
Derek Carr broke his leg in the 4th quarter but
the Raiders were still able to pull off the win. In other news, the Colts were
still able to give me enough points in fantasy to help me win even though they
didn’t.
49ers @ Rams 22-21
The 49ers are only marginally better than the Browns,
winning their second game of the season.
Cardinals @ Seahawks 34-31
The Seahawks lost a heartbreaking game in the last seconds
at home.
Buccaneers @ Saints 24-31
Even though the Bucs didn’t win they kept Brees in check
enough so that my opponent couldn’t rack up fantasy QB points. Thanks Tampa!
Bengals @ Texans 10-12
Well, the Bengals won’t have to worry about losing in the
playoffs this year, as they won’t even make it to the post season. The Texans,
on the other hand, have made it to the playoffs.
Ravens @ Steelers 27-31
The Steelers spoiled the Ravens hopes of a post season at
the conclusion of this game.
Broncos @ Chiefs 10-33
Denver also seems to be suffering from a midseason induced
Super Bowl hangover. (They didn’t want the Panthers to feel so all alone with
the whole playing like crap thing)
Lions @ Cowboys 21-42
I really didn’t care who won or lost this game; my main
focus was lots of Cowboys’ field goals (I had the Cowboys kicker on my team and
he was my last player to play) as well as hopes that Ezekiel Elliot did not
score (he was the last player on my opponent’s team to play). Thankfully the
Cowboys pulled Elliot in the third quarter and my fantasy championship was
secure.
WEEK 16
Sunday, January 1st
Ravens (8-7) @ Bengals (5-9-1) [1pm CBS]
There are no playoff implications for this game, although it
will be Steve Smith Sr.’s last game so I am picking the Ravens for the win.
Texans (9-6) @ Titans (8-7) [1pm CBS]
The Texans have already clinched a playoff spot and the
Titans will only be playing for pride in their season finale. I’m picking the
Texans for the win.
Panthers (6-9) @ Buccaneers (8-7) [1pm FOX]
The Panthers are way out of the post season but the Bucs have
a flicker of hope, ridiculous as it may be. Not only do the Bucs have to win
this game to possibly get the last wildcard spot, they must also rely on the
results of six other games. “So you’re telling me there’s a chance”. I’m picking the Bucs for the win.
Browns (1-14) @ Steelers (10-5) [1pm CBS]
The Steelers have made it to the playoffs and could play
their 3rd string and I’d still pick them to win over the Browns.
Cowboys (13-2) @ Eagles (6-9) [1pm FOX]
The Cowboys have already clinched and the Eagles are playing
their last game of the season. The Eagles could win this game if and only if
the Cowboys rest all of their starters, but I’m still picking the Cowboys to
win this game.
Bills (7-8) @ Jets (4-11) [1pm CBS]
Both teams are out of the playoffs and playing for pride.
I’m picking the Bills.
Bears (3-12) @Vikings (7-8)
[1pm FOX]
Both teams will be playing their last game of the season;
I’m picking the Vikings for the win.
Jaguars (3-12) @ Colts (7-8) [1pm CBS]
Neither team has any hope of making the playoffs; I’m
picking the Colts to win.
Patriots (13-2) @ Dolphins (10-5) [1pm CBS]
Both teams are playoff bound but with a Patriots win they
lock up home field advantage for the post season. I’m picking the Pats to win
but I’ll be cheering for the Dolphins.
Chiefs (11-4) @ Chargers (5-10) [4:25pm CBS]
KC has already clinched a playoff spot but with a win and an
Oakland loss they could also have a first round bye. I think that KC will win
this game but I’m not so sure Denver will beat Oakland.
Cardinals (6-8-1) @ Rams (4-11) [4:25pm FOX]
This is both teams
season finale and I’m picking the Cardinals to win.
Raiders (12-3) @ Broncos (8-7) [4:25pm CBS]
Even with Derek Carr out I’m picking the Raiders to win this
game. With a win or a KC loss the Raiders can secure a first round bye.
NY Giants (10-5) @ Redskins (8-6-1) [4:25pm FOX]
The Giants have already clinched a spot in the playoffs; the
Redskins can make it to the post season with a win, as long as the Packers-Lions
game doesn’t end in a tie. I’m hoping the Giants beat them and dash their hopes
of any post-season play. But, it would be even more spectacular if the Redskins
did win and then the Lions-Packers game DID end in a tie. I’m picking the
Giants to win this game. Dear Giants play like you are playing the Cowboys, NOT
the Eagles. GO GMEN!
Seahawks (9-5-1) @ 49ers (2-13) [4:25pm FOX]
The Seahawks are in the playoffs but could get a first round
bye with a win and a lot of help from a lot of teams. I’m not going to type it all out so if you
are really interested in all the playoff implications let me direct you to the
NFL or ESPN website. I’m picking the
Seahawks for the win.
Saints (7-8) @ Falcons (10-5) [4:25pm FOX]
The Falcons have already made it to the playoffs but could
secure a first round bye with a win over the Saints. New Orleans is playing for
pride. I’m picking Atlanta but wouldn’t be surprised if the Saints pulled an
upset.
Packers (9-6) @ Lions (9-6) [8:30pm NBC]
The winner of this game also wins the division championship.
The loser of this game’s only hope of making it to the playoffs is a Redskins
loss. (I hope both teams make it to the playoffs) I’m picking the Packers for
the win.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! GO
GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the edit Mom & Eric!
