NFL 2015 Week 17 Picks -- Playoff Tiebreaker Edition


Week 17 is my favorite week of the season – no Thursday night games, and doubleheaders on CBS and Fox.

 

This week’s picks:

 

New Orleans 45, Atlanta 16 – Falcons had their highlight last week beating Carolina. This could be a “mail it in” game.

 

N.Y Jets 28, Buffalo 9 – Ugh. Thinking the Bills might be ripe to pull off the upset. Also thinking it’s sad when I’m kinda puuling for the Jets.

 

Detroit 26, Chicago 24 – The only downside to Week 17 – a lot of “nobody cares” games.

 

Baltimore 20, Cincinnati 10 – A late lump in the coal in the stocking for Fox, which gets to flex this game in.

 

Pittsburgh 20, Cleveland 7 – Pittsburgh: needs help to make playoffs, and by “needs help” I mean “needs to be realigned to the NFC East.”

 

Washington 44, Dallas 17 – Maybe Tony Romo will stay healthy next year.

 

Houston 23, Jacksonville 17 – Pittsburgh Steelers: good chance to miss the playoffs, would’ve clinched the AFC South six weeks ago.

 

Indianapolis 27, Tennessee 10 – Colts make playoffs with a win coupled with loses by the Texans, Saints, Browns, Patriots, Bengals, Jets, Chargers and Chiefs – but only if psi of all footballs in each game is above 14.5

 

New England 28, Miami 0 – THEN: “Boy Dan Campbell really lit a fire under those Dolphins.” NOW: “Boy Dan Campbell really has those Dolphins playing for a Top 5 draft pick.”

 

N.Y Giants 34, Philadelphia 26 – Man this blog is gonna miss Chip Kelly.

 

Seattle 23, Arizona 20 – If Carolina gets off to a big lead on Tampa Bay, Cardinals will start mailing this one in.

 

Carolina 31, Tampa Bay 23 – Of course the one week I give up on picking the Panthers to lose and Falcons to win, Atlanta turns around and upsets Carolina.

 

Denver 33, San Diego 28 – Peyton Manning on the sidelines today. This could end badly.

 

Kansas City 31, Oakland 10 – Can’t wait for this moving to Los Angeles dram to unfold this offseason for the Raiders, Rams and Chargers.

 

St. Louis 34, San Francisco 27 – 49ers reportedly considering firing Jim Tomsula and hiring Chip Kelly. Man this blog is gonna love Chip Kelly.

 

Green Bay 37, Minnesota 34 – Somebody called me “a good game manager” the other day. Now I know how Teddy Bridgewater feels.

 

 

 

LAST WEEK: 10-6

 

2015 TO DATE: 147-93

 

2014 AFTER WEEK 16: 161-79
