NFL - Week 17 Predictions

Man I am still pissed off at the Vikings defense and Peterson.  What the hell is wrong with this defense anymore?  Oh yeah, pass coverage still sucks and Peterson still puts the ball on the ground.  I really hope the home crowd gets the Vikings back on track against the Giants this weekend.

I went 11-5 last week bringing my season total to 181-59, a low 75% correct.

I am telling you people, San Diego is on a mission and that mission is Super Bowl or bust.  They are dominating on offense and defense and they can slam a team shut early.  Look out AFC and whoever makes it out alive in the NFC.  I did however hear a pretty funny comment this last week on Sports Center…”Mangini is coaching like he wants to keep his job”.  WTF?!?  The Browns have won 4 games this year and they just finished beating the Raiders.  *rolls eyes*

Let’s just get to the final regular season schedule and make our picks.

San Francisco 49ers (7-8) at St. Louis Rams (1-14) - San Francisco
The 49ers are playing for a .500 record and the Rams have won the first pick in the draft.

Pittsburgh Steelers (8-7) at Miami Dolphins (7-8) - Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh has a slim chance of the playoffs in sight and they will go for it all day against the Dolphins.

Indianapolis Colts (14-1) at Buffalo Bills (5-10) - Buffalo
The Colts are already sitting players in practice, do you really think they will play many of them in the cold this weekend?!?

New England Patriots (10-5) at Houston Texans (8-7) - New England
New England has the right idea, play hard and fast going in the post season.

Cincinnati Bengals (10-5) at New York Jets (8-7) - Cincinnati
Cincinnati is playing to knock the Jets out and to go into the playoffs winning on the road.  Sorry Jets, no skate walk this year.

Chicago Bears (6-9) at Detroit Lions (2-13) - Chicago
Chicago wants to continue their hot hand and play tough on the road.  Who knows, maybe the Lions defense is better than the Vikings.

Jacksonville Jaguars (7-8) at Cleveland Browns (4-11) - Jacksonville
Jacksonville wants to finish the season at .500, not under it.  Del Rio will get them pumped to pound the Browns.

New York Giants (8-7) at Minnesota Vikings (11-4) - Minnesota
For the love of God, could this game be any more sad???  The Giants cannot buy a win and Minnesota cannot stop anyone anymore.  The Vikings offense came alive in the second half last week to watch the defense give up touchdown after touchdown…then we all watched Peterson put the ball on the ground…again.

Atlanta Falcons (8-7) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-12) - Atlanta
Hotlanta is rolling and the injuries are shaking off…look out Bucs.

Philadelphia Eagles (11-4) at Dallas Cowboys (10-5) - Dallas
Dallas can remember last years beat down in Philadelphia…payback time.

New Orleans Saints (13-2) at Carolina Panthers (7-8) - Carolina
New Orleans knows they need a win to get the chip off the shoulder, but Carolina is hot right now with Moore at QB.  Look for more of the same this weekend.

Kansas City Chiefs (3-12) at Denver Broncos (8-7) - Denver
Denver will win big this weekend.

Baltimore Ravens (8-7) at Oakland Raiders (5-10) - Baltimore
Baltimore fighting for the playoffs, Lewis mad as hell on defense…equals a beat down Raiders team in the end.

Green Bay Packers (10-5) at Arizona Cardinals (10-5) - Green Bay
Green Bay wins this game and runs into the playoffs as the hottest team in the NFC.  Look out everyone, the Packers are playing tough on both sides of the ball.

Tennessee Titans (7-8) at Seattle Seahawks (5-10) - Tennessee
Tennessee started 0-6, now they have a chance to finish 8-8.  Great come back story of the year.

Washington Redskins (4-11) at San Diego Chargers (12-3) - San Diego
They are hot, they are locked into the #2 seed, but still put a beat down on Washington.  This gives them the extra juice going into their first round bye.  Look out AFC, the Chargers are smoking hot on all three sides of the ball.
