Christmas is indeed the time of giving.

And this year, the NFL is giving us a double-header on Christmas Day and a Saturday triple-header to go with our regular slate of games. Let’s face it, we’ll all need some sort of a distraction from our families, now we have it! (just kidding, family members who might be reading this!)

Happy Holidays everyone!!

Week 17 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – BUFFALO over New York Jets – Better late than never for the Rodgers/Adams connection to start clicking again … won’t matter this week though!

15 – TAMPA BAY over Carolina – Hosting Carolina is needed after losing to a depleted Cowboys team.

14 – PHILADELPHIA over Dallas - …and the Eagles will show the Bucs just what to do with the aforementioned depleted Cowboys.

13 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Arizona – I told you weeks ago that the Rams were ready to go on a tear

12 – Seattle over CHICAGO – Just two more games Bears fans …

11 – Indianapolis over NEW YORK GIANTS – When you’re hanging on for dear life to your playoff hopes, a game against the Giants is just what you need! My BOLD PREDCITION for this week is that THE COLTS WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS

10 – WASHINGTON over Atlanta – Can’t play the Giants every week, Mr. Penix

9 – Detroit over SAN FRANCISCO – This won’t have the same feel as last year’s NFC Championship game

8 – CINCINNATI over Denver – The Broncos won’t be able to score enough to keep up

7 – HOUSTON over Baltimore – The Texans need to play like they need this one, because they do.

6 – Los Angeles Chargers over NEW ENGLAND – If they can get more weapons for Drake Maye, the Pats could be a sneaky team next year.

5 – Green Bay over MINNESOTA – It’s sad to say, but the Packers are legit.

4 – JACKSONVILLE over Tennessee – Someone has to win this one …

3 – CLEVELAND over Miami - …and this one…

2  -NEW ORLEANS over Las Vegas - …aaaaaaaand this one.

1 – PITTSBURGH over Kansas City – The Steelers have been playing strong, but the fact that it’s the Chiefs keeps this game on the one-point line
