NFL Week 17 Picks

Last week yielded a 9-7 record. Not good, but not bad either. Overall Record: 150-90 Winning Pct: .625 Here are Week 17's Picks (Winners in Bold) Giants @ Redskins Seahawks @ Buccaneers Rams @ Vikings Panthers @ Saints Raiders @ Jets Lions @ Cowboys Steelers @ Bengals Browns @ Texans Patriots @ Titans Jaguars @ Chiefs Dolphins @ Colts 49ers @ Broncos Bills @ Ravens Falcons @ Eagles Cardinals @ Chargers Packers @ Bears Upset of the Week: The Packers are 3 point road dogs against the Bears. However, the Bears no longer have anything to play for, as they have locked up the #1 seed in the NFC. The Packers need a win to keep their slight playoff hopes alive and I think Favre can pull out a W against Chicago's scrubs. 9-4 in this category. Mortal Lock of the Week: The Jets will secure a playoff spot with a win over the hapless Raiders. 9-5 in this category. Colts Update: What a sobering last few weeks it has been for this Colts fan. From 9-0 with a strong foothold on the #1 seed in the AFC to 11-4 and looking like they will have to host a Wild Card game in the first round of the playoffs. For the Colts it has boiled down to this: Manning and the offense must be perfect, no turn-overs and they must score nearly every time they have the ball. The defense cannot be relied upon at all, regardless of their opponents starting field position. Defensive stops have become a thing of the past with the Colts and their Super Bowl chances look very grim. TV.com: As evidenced by the constant hovering at 6% of Level 29, I haven't had much time for TV.com during the last week or so, but with the end of the holidays and the coming of the new year, I'll get back to plugging away with submissions for The Simpsons guide. Take it easy everyone, and remember to celebrate the New Year responsibly.
