NFL Picks Week 17- Saving the Best for Last

Here it is the last week of the regular season and there are some games that still matter for many teams.

St. Louis (2-13) at Atlanta (10-5)- First off congrats to my man Sepi whose stuck with the Falcons through the good and the bad, now they are in the playoffs and could possibly win the NFC South. They should have no problems dominating the Rams on Sunday to possibly seek into the two seed. Matt Ryan or Peyton Manning is my MVP this year. ATL 31-13

New England (10-5) at Buffalo (7-8)- Many are either rejoicing or crying because the Pats might miss the playoffs even if they win and a 11-5 is out and the Chargers if they win will be in at 8-8. As much as I hated New England last year, I love Jonathan Moxson er.... Matt Cassel's performance this year, its truly a Hollywood type story. The Pats win and who knows if they get in. NE 24-13

Kansas City (2-13) at Cincinnati (3-11-1)- It will be interesting to see if these two coaches survive Black Monday, I think Herm Edwards should because everyone has said the Chiefs are rebuilding but the Bengals, it might be time for a change. I will take the Chiefs because they have played harder all year. KC 17-13

Detroit (0-15) at Green Bay (5-10)- Scariest game ever. Many feel if the Packers lose to the Lions then Ted Thompson will probably be out or Mike McCarthy but with rumors saying that the Lions didnt practice on Christmas, I think their mindset will be on the cold not the game itself. The Packers will take out all their aggression. GB 38-20

Tennessee (13-2) at Indianapolis (11-4)- Well this would been a great game about three weeks ago but with both teams in the playoffs, this will be just a tune-up for the playoffs. Also appearances by Vince Young and Jim Sorgi, I will take the home team. IND 27-20

New York Giants (12-3) at Minnesota (9-6)- The Giants have nothing to play for as they have the top spot in the playoffs while the Vikings have everything to play for. The Vikings really are chokes but its hard to see them losing this game, then again Brad Childress is their coach. MIN 31-17

Carolina (11-4) at New Orleans (8-7)- The Panthers need this win to make sure they keep their bye and the NFC South teams havent lost at home all this year. I dont really see the Saints having a chance in this one. CAR 27-20

Cleveland (4-11) at Pittsburgh (11-4)- Well this game will be another pillow fight and an appearance by Charlie Batch for the Steelers. The Browns are lost and Romeo Crennel is out of a job come Monday as they will lose this one too. PIT 17-6

Oakland (4-11) at Tampa Bay (9-6)- The Gruden Bowl and the Buccaneers need to win to ensure that they might have a spot in the playoffs. Granted, the Raiders are improving week by week but I cant see them playing spoiler in this one. TB 28-16

Chicago (9-6) at Houston (7-8)- To keep the Bears floating they need this win on Sunday but they are just barely getting victories lately see the block FG from last Monday and I really think the Texans will want to play spoiler in this battle. HOU 24-21

Washington (8-7) at San Francisco (6-9)- The Redskins have went down faster than most toilets and have their coach crying in his shower after every Sunday like Tobias Funke. The 49ers are on the rise and will be able to finish an alright year. SF 23-17

Jacksonville (5-10) at Baltimore (10-5)- Well the Ravens should be able to get in the playoffs with a home against a Jaguar team whose coach should be fired after the most disappointing season. The Ravens will be inspired to get this one done. BALT 20-10

Miami (10-5) at New York Jets (9-6)- Interesting Brett Favre has struggled in the last four weeks with the numbers of one touchdown and six interceptions. Brett its time to hang it up, we all want you too. Thomas Jones needs to be the first option on Sunday but I think the Phins pull it out barely. MIA 34-31

Dallas (9-6) at Philadelphia (8-6-1)- Both teams need this win and the Cowboys are in if they win. Lets all remember Tony Romo's clutch ability, oh wait he doesnt have any. Terrell Owens may shit a full brick if they lose especially to Donovan McNabb and Philadelphia. Romo throws an INT while driving to lose this one for them. PHI 17-14

Seattle (4-11) at Arizona (8-7)- I just hope that the Cardinals do not lose so they are another 8-8 team in the playoffs. I think the Seahawks will want to win for the Frosty Walrus' last game but I dont foresee it happening. ARI 31-20

Denver (8-7) at San Diego (7-8)- The Broncos have had the win and get in scenario for the last three weeks and have failed to do it while the Chargers have crept up on them. They look like the stronger team and I think San Diego runs away with it, getting Norv Turner to the playoffs, gross. SD 35-24

Enjoy the last weekend.
