Sunday will mark the end of anther NFL season. This has been an unpredictable season, in which we have seen a lot happen from the return of Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson (could break the single season rushing record with 208 yds rushing on sunday) to Tim Tebow. Some of the playoffs are set, we know the six AFC teams they're just playing for seeding. Over in the NFC we know four of the six playoff teams, the NFC east will be decided when Washington and Dallas play sunday night and the second wild card can be any one of four teams depending on the outcome of a few games. Week 17 will defiantly be interesting as we have some races coming down to the end and we need to find out who plays who where.
Week 17 Picks:
1) The Miami Dolphins played the New England Patriots close the last time they played but this week they travel to Foxboro, MA where I don't see the Patriots loosing going into the playoffs with a possible No. 1 seed on the line. I'll take the New England Patriots (-10) at home. NE Patriots -10
2) The Chicago Bears have a lot of talent and have been somewhat under performing at 9-6 and have been bitten recently by the injury bug to key players, the Detroit Lions have talent and are up and coming. I'll go with the Detroit Lions (+3) over the Chicago Bears at home. Detroit Lions +3
3) Peyton Manning has returned to lead to Broncos into the playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs are a bad team that will most likely end up with the worst record in the league and the first pick in the NFL draft. I'll pick the Denver Broncos (-16) over the Kansas City Chiefs in the mile high city. Denver Broncos -16
4) The three ring circus that is the New York Jets continues with Mark Sanchez getting another start over Tim Tebow for the concussed Greg McElroy. The Jets have issues and will probally change personell in the offseason, the Buffalo Bills once again have pieces but are one again unable to put it together. I'll pick the Buffalo Bills (-3) to knock off the NY Jets at home in adverse conditions. Buffalo Bills -3
5) The New York Giants will try to salvage their season after another disappointing game. The Giants have not won many close games this season, all of their wins have come by at least four points and they haven't had may deep postseason runs either they either don't make the playoffs (occasionally they loose Wild Card Weekend) or win the Super Bowl they don't have many NFC Championship games runs and losses. The Giants have to salvage pride (Osi, Tuck and JPP the pass rushers on defense who haven't shown up on a consistent basis need to show up for a postseason run) on Sunday, win and get help against the Philadelphia eagles who have a lot of talent but have underachieved. I'll pick the NY Giants (-7) (to show up and play like they want something) over the Philadelphia Eagles at Met life Stadium. NY Giants -7
A Giants win + Bear loss + Viking loss + Cowboys loss = playoffs
