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 start players.
Not this year though! While some teams have clinched a berth, it seems that every playoff seed is still up for grabs – making this just another week!
Happy New Years Everyone! Have fun and stay safe this weekend!
Week 17 – HERE WE GO!!!
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
16 – BUFFALO over New England – Bills get a nice breather before their season finale fight with the Dolphins next week.
15 – PHILADELPHIA over Arizona – The Eagles drew a lucky end of the year schedule to say the least.
14 – JACKSONVILLE over Carolina – Talk about needing this break in the schedule…seems to be a trend with the start of our sheet this week.
13 – San Francisco over WASHIGTON – Pretty easy to say that Brock Purdy will not have another game this week like he did last week.
12 – CLEVELAND over New York Jets – Ah yes, another “in prime time because we thought Aaron Rodgers would be playing” matchup.
11 – HOUSTON over Tennessee – This is completely based on CJ Stroud starting. If he’s not, drop this down several lines.
10 – KANSAS CITY over Cincinnati – So Taylor Swift is a curse, right?
9 – TAMPA BAY over New Orleans – Watch out for Tampa! My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that NOT ONLY WILL TAMPA WIN THE NFC SOUTH, THEY WILL WIN A PLAYOFF GAME AS WELL.
8 – CHICAGO over Atlanta – I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this season has gone perfect for the Bears!
7 – DALLAS over Detroit – This will be fun to see in a few weeks in the playoffs as well!
6 – Los Angeles Rams over NEW YORK GIANTS – I feel like the stands will be empty in a sign of New York solidarity with Tommy DeVito
5 – Las Vegas over INDIANAPOLIS – Could … could the Raiders make the playoffs??
4 – BALTIMORE over Miami – AFC Championship preview?
3 – SEATTLE over Pittsburgh – I feel like these two teams have been hard to predict lately…so flip a coin on this one.
2 – Green Bay over MINNESOTA –
1 – DENVER over Los Angeles Chargers – I called Russell Wilson being a bust as soon as the Broncos signed him … … … just saying.
