Regular Season Week 17
It seems like it’s been weeks since I last posted. It’s been 8 days. I hope you are all having a wonderful, healthy, holiday season! This is the last week of the regular season, and the last time this season I’ll get to see the NY Giants play. Tear.
In other news, Marshawn Lynch has once again signed with the Seahawks, and I believe he will play for them today.
Week 17 also brings a lot of craziness with some teams still trying to get into the playoffs while other teams resting their players so they will be 100% for the playoffs. It’s going to make picking games this week a little challenging. Speaking of picks, I went 13-3 last week.
Here is the recap for week sixteen.
Texans @ Buccaneers 23-20The Texans clinched the AFC South title with this win over the Bucs. This was an UGLY game to watch. I think there were 7 turnovers in the first half, 4 in the first quarter… The Bucs made it a close game but the Texans still came out on top.
Bills @ Patriots 17-24This was a really close game where once again the Pats came out on top winning the AFC East.

Bills @ Patriots 17-24This was a really close game where once again the Pats came out on top winning the AFC East.
Rams @ 49ers 31-34The 49ers won this game, and in doing so, eliminated the Rams’ chance at the post season.
Ravens @ Browns 31-15With this Ravens win over the Browns the road to the Super Bowl will go through Baltimore. The Ravens also earned home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Jaguars @ Falcons 12-24The Falcons have looked pretty good these last few games, but it was too little to late to make the postseason, or have a winning record…
Saints @ Titans 38-28The Titans were no match for the Saints. Drew Brees had 3 touchdown passes and Alvin Kamara had to rushing touchdowns. If he had played like that earlier in the season I might have made it further in the fantasy playoffs, I’m not bitter. Even with this loss, the Titans still have not been eliminated from the postseason.
Panthers @ Colts 6-38The Panthers played more like kittens against this Colts team. I’m sure Pathers fans are just glad that the season is almost over for them.
Bengals @ Dolphins 35-38 OTThis game was ridiculous. The Dolphins had this game all sealed up until the fourth quarter when the Bengals scored 23 points, taking the lead. The Dolphins then tied the game sending it into overtime. It was there that the Bengals fell apart and the Dolphins kicked a field goal to win the game.
Steelers @ Jets10-16Le’Veon Bell seemed to love playing against his former team and dealing them a loss so close to the postseason. The Jets only let the Steelers score any points in the second quarter. Go J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS
NY Giants @ Redskins 41-35 OTDanny Jones had 5 touchdowns in this win over the Redskins. Of course, in true Giants fashion, they blew a big lead and it took overtime to win this game. But, the important thing is, they actually got the win.
Lions @ Broncos 17-27Playing for nothing but pride the Broncos ran all over the Lions.
Raiders @ Chargers 24-17The Raiders keep their playoff hopes alive with this win over the Chargers. The Chargers on the other hand have no hope of the playoffs this season. Derek Carr lead the Raiders to another win, and shockingly the Chargers had many turnovers to help them lose the game.
Saints @ Titans 38-28The Titans were no match for the Saints. Drew Brees had 3 touchdown passes and Alvin Kamara had to rushing touchdowns. If he had played like that earlier in the season I might have made it further in the fantasy playoffs, I’m not bitter. Even with this loss, the Titans still have not been eliminated from the postseason.

Cowboys @ Eagles 9-17I was actually surprised that the Eagles won this game. With this win over the Cowboys the Eagles hold off the Cowboys from taking the NFC East title.
Cardinals @ Seahawks 27-13I was shocked to see the Cardinals beat the Seahawks being that Seattle was playing for a first round bye. I guess you could say the Seahawks are pretty banged up if they lost to the Cardinals.
Chiefs @ Bears 26-3The Chiefs are not known for the defense, and the Bears are, but the Chiefs defense held the Bears to only a field goal in their win over Chicago. I knew the Chiefs would win but I didn’t think it would be so one sided.
Packers @ Vikings 23-10This game started out with me thinking that the Vikings just might win this game. Aaron Rodgers threw an interception early in the game which set the Vikings up with a score. But then Aaron Jones’ run game came alive and the Packers sealed the win and clinched the NFC North.
WEEK 17
Sunday, December 29th
Jets (6-9) @ Bills (10-5) [1pm CBS]The Jets are out and the Bills have already clinched the playoffs. The Bills will probably rest some of their starters. I’m still picking the Bills to win this home game but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Jets got the win.
Browns (6-9) @ Bengals (1-14) [1pm FOX]These teams are just playing for pride. I’m picking the Browns to win this game. Again, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bengals got the win.
Packers (11-3) @ Lions (3-11-1) [1pm FOX] The Packers can clinch a first round bye with a win over the Lions and if the 49ers lose to Seattle the Packers could also have home-field advantage through the post season. I’m picking the Packers to win this game.
Cardinals @ Seahawks 27-13I was shocked to see the Cardinals beat the Seahawks being that Seattle was playing for a first round bye. I guess you could say the Seahawks are pretty banged up if they lost to the Cardinals.
Chiefs @ Bears 26-3The Chiefs are not known for the defense, and the Bears are, but the Chiefs defense held the Bears to only a field goal in their win over Chicago. I knew the Chiefs would win but I didn’t think it would be so one sided.
Packers @ Vikings 23-10This game started out with me thinking that the Vikings just might win this game. Aaron Rodgers threw an interception early in the game which set the Vikings up with a score. But then Aaron Jones’ run game came alive and the Packers sealed the win and clinched the NFC North.

Browns (6-9) @ Bengals (1-14) [1pm FOX]These teams are just playing for pride. I’m picking the Browns to win this game. Again, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bengals got the win.
Packers (11-3) @ Lions (3-11-1) [1pm FOX] The Packers can clinch a first round bye with a win over the Lions and if the 49ers lose to Seattle the Packers could also have home-field advantage through the post season. I’m picking the Packers to win this game.
Chargers (5-10) @ Chiefs (11-4) [1pm CBS]The Chiefs clinched the playoffs and the AFC West title a long time ago, now the fans will also be interested in the Pats Dolphins games. If the Chiefs beat the Chargers (and I’m picking them to do so) and the Dolphins somehow beat the Pats (which is not likely) The Chiefs would get a first round bye and a divisional game at home. With all that being said I’m picking the Chiefs for the win and nothing else.
Bears (7-8) @ Vikings (10-4) [1pm FOX]The Vikings are in the playoffs but still need this win over the Bears, more for confidence than anything else. I’m picking the Vikings to win this game.
Dolphins (4-11) @ Patriots (12-3) [1pm FOX]With a win over the Dolphins the Patriots secure a first round bye. I’m picking the Pats to win this game but I am so hoping that I am wrong.
Falcons (6-9) @ Buccaneers (7-8) [1pm FOX]Both teams have been eliminated from the playoffs but the winner of this game would take the second spot in the NFC South. With the way the Bucs played last week and the way the Falcons have played recently, I’m going to pick the Falcons to win this game. Fun fact: Joe Burrow, LSU quarterback had as many touchdowns (8) in the playoff win against Oklahoma as Matt Ryan has had all season…
Saints (12-3) @ Panthers (5-10) [1pm FOX] The Saints are already NFC South champs and cannot finish any lower than the third seed. New Orleans could get a first-round bye with a win, combined with a failure to win by either the Packers, who visit Detroit, or 49ers, who visit Seattle in what also will decide the NFC West champ. With all that being said I am picking the Saints to win this game.
Redskins (3-12) @ Cowboys (7-8) [4:25pm FOX]The Cowboys can make the playoffs with a win and an Eagles loss. I’d love to see the Redskins beat the Cowboys and the Eagles to lose to the Giants. That way the Cowboys wouldn’t get into the playoffs and the Eagles wouldn’t have a winning record going into the playoffs. I don’t think either will happen though. I am picking the Cowboys to win this game and rooting for the Redskins.
Raiders (7-8) @ Broncos (6-9) [4:25pm CBS]To reach the playoffs, the Raiders need to beat the Broncos and get lots of help: losses by the Titans and Steelers, a win by the Colts and a least a win by the Patriots, Bears, Chargers or Lions. I’m picking the Raiders to win but wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t. Also, I think their playoff hopes end today.
Bears (7-8) @ Vikings (10-4) [1pm FOX]The Vikings are in the playoffs but still need this win over the Bears, more for confidence than anything else. I’m picking the Vikings to win this game.
Dolphins (4-11) @ Patriots (12-3) [1pm FOX]With a win over the Dolphins the Patriots secure a first round bye. I’m picking the Pats to win this game but I am so hoping that I am wrong.

Cardinals (5-9-1) @ Rams (8-7) [4:25pm FOX]Both teams are out of the post season and this will be their last game until next year. I’m picking the Rams to win this game.
Eagles (8-7) @ NY Giants (4-11) [4:25pm FOX]The Eagles have beaten the Giants in the last 10 out of 11 games however Zack Ertz isn’t playing for the Eagles today and the rest of the Eagles are pretty beaten up. The Eagles are playing for the post season and the Giants are playing for spoilers. I’m rooting for the Giants, obviously, and I’m picking the Eagles to win but I am so hoping that I am wrong. GO GMEN!!!!

Colts (7-8) @ Jaguars (5-10) [4:25pm CBS] This will be the last game of the season for both of these teams. I’m picking the Colts to win this game.
Steelers (8-7) @ Ravens (13-2) [4:25pm CBS]The Ravens are sitting all of their starters. RG3 will be the quarterback for the Ravens. The Steelers are beat up but playing for the postseason. I am still picking the Ravens to win this game.
Titans (8-7) @ Texans (10-5) [4:25pm CBS]The Titans can stay alive with a win over the Texans. The Texans are sitting Deshaun Watson and DeAndre Hopkins. I’m picking the Titans to win this game.

49ers (12-3) @ Seahawks (11-4) [8:20pm NBC]Marshawn Lynch is returning to the Seahawks for this last game of the regular season. I think that the Seahawks might just win this game with beast mode’s help. I’m picking the Seahawks for the win.
GO GMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
