Normally, being just a week away from the last week of the season, playoff positions are solidified and we need to take into account that teams may be benching star players.
Not this year though! While some teams have clinched a berth, it seems that every playoff seed is still up for grabs and this is just another week!
Week 17 – HERE WE GO!!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – KANSAS CITY over Denver – Last week the Broncos made the Rams look like a Super Bowl contender again. Pretty easy to predict what will happen against an actual Super Bowl contender.
15 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Los Angeles Rams – The stands at SoFi Stadium are usually filled with Chargers and Rams opponents…so who’s gonna be there this week?
14 – PHILADELPHIA over New Orleans – Won’t matter who is under center for the Eagles when you host the Saints.
13 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Indianapolis – This will clinch a spot in the playoffs for the Giants…as we all predicted.
12 – DETROIT over Chicago – I said towards the beginning of the season the Bears would have the first pick in the Draft – with how I feel this week will play out, that could very well still be in the cards!.
11 – San Francisco over LAS VEGAS – Thank You, Derek #FireJoshMcDaniels
10 – WASHINGTON over Cleveland – Carson Wentz is back as the starter for Washington…yeah, that’s not interesting news outside of the Wentz family…immediate family.
9 – Dallas over TENNESSEE – With Josh Dobbs getting the nod at QB and potentially no Derrick Henry, the Titans are in full ‘take the week off before the meaningful game next week” mode.
8 – BALTIMORE over Pittsburgh – Why was this game flexed to prime time?
7 – TAMPA BAY over Carolina – One of these teams MIGHT finish above .500…this is a crucial game when it comes to a playoff spot…why are both of these statements accurate??
6 – ATLANTA over Arizona – How unentertaining is this game going to be? My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is KLIFF KINGSBURY WILL NOT BE COACHING THE CARDINALS IN WEEK 18.
5 – NEW ENGLAND over Miami – I’m just proud of the Dolphins for actually realizing that playing Tua this week would not be in his best interest.
4 – SEATTLE over New York Jets – This was supposed to be a battle for draft positioning, not playoff possibilities.
3 – GREEN BAY over Minnesota – I feel that Kirk Cousins is due for an expected Kirk Cousins game this week
2 – CINCINNATI over Buffalo – It’s a safe bet that these two could probably meet up again in a month or so.
1 – HOUSTON over Jacksonville – The Texans can take advantage of the Jags not really having anything to play for until next week.
