NFL Week 17

Last week wasn't a total write off so I still have an outside shot at finishing over .500 which was the goal at the start of the year. And I promise next year to start paying attention to weather reports, injury list updates and other crap like that.

Either way it is only five weeks until the Super Bowl and Diamond Joe are headed down to Vegas for our second annual trip. And this time with an expanded crew including the likes of TBone.

Last Week: 7-8-1
Season: 116-120-4

Colts -5 over BILLS I am livid the way the Colts gave that game away last week. All they had to do was give Peyton one more possession and they would have put it away. The Jets hadn't touched him all game and there was no way he was going to get hurt. Seriously stupid of them. Especially in front of the home crowd. I have no idea who is playing for them today but is againt Buffalo so who cares.

Saints -5 over PANTHERS Saints need to get their act together this week heading into the playoffs

Jags +3 over BROWNS Unless theere is a -50 wind chill and blizzard I am not aware of how the hell are the Browns the favorite in this one?

Eagles +3 over COWBOYS Last year the Eagles blew out Dallas in a similar last season pressure game. ANd they will again this year.

Bears -3 over LIONS 12-3 so far this year picking against the Lions. And I predicted 12-4 pre-season.

Patriots +7 over TEXANS I assume Tom Brady will play until this one is over.

Steelers -3 over DOLPHINS Pittsburgh is the one team nobody wants to face in the playoffs. Provided they get in of course. Which they won't when the Bengals don't play anyone against the Jets tonight.

Giants +9 over VIKINGS Hey Minnesota fans, are you ready for your first round loss with 3 Favre INTs yet?

JETS -8.5 over Bengals Jets make the playoffs because the game doesn't matter to Cincy.

49ers -7 over RAMS Rams will clinch first overall pick so that's something for them to strive for.

Falcons -1 over BUCS One of those meaningless games that is tought to pick on week 17.

CARDS -3 over Packers I could see either one of these streaky teams getting hot and making the Super Bowl and either one of these teams losing by 30 in the Wild Card round. Seriously.

BRONCOS -12 over Chiefs The Broncos can end the season with a moral victory. Not that means anything in the National Football League (channeling my inner Ron Jaworski).

Raiders +10 over RAVENS I think this one will be pretty close. Oakland has actually been somewhat respectable at times this year.

CHARGERS -4 over Redskins This SD team is so hot right now I am not even sure Norv Turner can screw up a Super Bowl apperance.

Titans -5 over SEAHAWKS Chris Johnson should have no problem getting to 2,000 yards for the year against Seattle.
