To say this has been a year of uncertainty is an understatement.

So many injuries, coaching changes, player issues shaped this season into pure unpredictability. So we’re are gonna end the year with a toss up of our own. Winners will be picked like normal, but the points list will be based on when the games are played – should add an additional degree of interest to the season finale in Detroit Sunday Night!

Before we get into the games, I just wanted to say thank you again for following along this year! I hope I helped you in your pools this year…and I’ll see you in September!

Week 18 – HERE WE GO!!!!

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

16 – DETROIT over Minnesota – Ford Field will be rocking louder than it was in the playoffs last year

15 – Los Angeles Chargers over LAS VEGAS – Change is coming for the Raiders … hopefully

14 – LOS ANGELES RAMS over Seattle – The Rams should easily lock up the 3 seed by just keeping on doing what they’ve been doing

13 – DENVER over Kansas City – The Broncos will be taking full advantage of a depleted Chiefs roster

12 – ARIZONA over San Francisco – This could be the battle for the division next season as long as CMC stays FAR away from the Madden cover!

11 – NEW YORK JETS over Miami - The Dolphins are playing for their playoff lives, but this just seems like a game the Jets squeak out.

10 -  GREEN BAY over Chicago – Its over, Bears fans … … … it’s over!

9 – TAMPA BAY over New Orleans – Mike Evans is going to get PAID while leading the Bucs to the division title.

8 – PHILADELPHIA over New York Giants – The Eagles have nothing to play for … but the Giants just can’t play.

7 – ATLANTA over Carolina – They’ll miss out this year but my BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that THE FALCONS WILL FINISH IN THE TOP 2 OF THE NFC NEXT YEAR

6 – Washington over DALLAS – It will be interesting to see what happens in Jerry World this off-season…if anything.

5 – INDIANAPOLIS over Jacksonville – This game will happen … so there

4 – NEW ENGLAND over Buffalo – Like the Broncos, the Pats will benefit from playing a powerhouse with nothing to play for

3 – TENNESSEE over Houston – Another example of a bad team being thrown a week 18 bone

2 – BALTIMORE over Cleveland  - The Ravens win the division…but I don’t see them doing much in the playoffs…maybe not even winning a game

1 – Cincinnati over PITTSBURGH – The Steelers haven’t been able to win when they’ve had something on the line – why would they win when the division will be out of reach?
