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 Miami 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 – MIAMI over Buffalo – We start with a symbol of the craziness – through the pre-season of Bills and Jets talk, the Dolphins end up winning the AFC East.
15 – LOS ANGELES CHARGERS over Kansas City – The Taylor Swift curse has been fun to watch.
14 – Los Angeles Rams over SAN FRANCISCO – Who knows who will play for the 9ers?
13 – ARIZONA over Seattle – This season seems like it should end with an L for the Seahawks
12 – Philadelphia over NEW YORK GIANTS – Did the Taylor Swift curse carry over to the whole Kelce family?
11 – LAS VEGAS over Denver – Give Pierce the job!
10 – Dallas over WASHINGTON – I wouldn’t be surprised if Washing pulls off the unnecessary upset in this one.
9 – GREEN BAY over Chicago – The future is bright Bears fans. My final BOLD PREDICTION for the season is that JUSTIN FIELDS WILL BE UNDER CENTER FOR THE BEARS TO START THE 2024 SEASON.
8 – CINCINNATI over Cleveland – Who knew it would be the Bengals season coming to an embarrassing end here and now the Browns!
7 – Tampa Bay over CAROLINA – The Bucs will win the NFC South…that’s the level of excitement this game deserves.
6 – New York Jets over NEW ENGLAND – So long, Bill!
5 – NEW ORLEANS over Atlanta – I’ll put the Falcons as the favorites to win the NFC South next year
4 – DETROIT over Minnesota – I can both see the Lions losing their first playoff game, and winning the NFC.
3 – Jacksonville over TENNESSEE – Despite their best efforts to blow it, the Jags will squeak out another AFC South title.
2 – INDIANAPOLIS over Houston – The Texans have set up something special for their future.
1 – Pittsburgh over BALTIMORE – I’ve gone against the Steelers too much to not pick them this week.

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?
