2023 Season: Week 17 Picks

Thursday, December 28th

New York Jets @ Cleveland Browns
Winner: Cleveland
Wager: 13
Thoughts: Cleveland is one win away from a playoff berth. The resiliency of this team is amazing. Not many teams would still be fighting losing so many key players. They take care of the Jets and punch their ticket to the post season.

Saturday, December 30th

Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys
Pick: Dallas
Wager: 2
Thoughts: I can honestly see this going either way. Both teams have a lot to fight for, but Dallas is pretty tough at home.

Sunday, December 31st

New England Patriots @ Buffalo Bills
Pick: Buffalo
Wager: 14
Thoughts: As much as Miami really needs this to be an upset, I'm not sure the Pats have enough fight left. Maybe they can prove me wrong with this possibly being Belichick's last season.

Atlanta Falcons @ Chicago Bears
Pick: Atlanta
Wager: 3
Thoughts: Atlanta has more to fight for

Las Vegas Raiders @ Indianapolis Colts
Pick: Las Vegas
Wager: 5
Thoughts: Hate the Cun...olts. Not saying I think the Raiders will even make the post season, but I feel they are trying to finish the season strong.

Los Angeles Rams @ New York Giants
Pick: Los Angeles
Wager: 12
Thoughts: I say almost every week they are better than their record shows. I think they're going to surprise some people in the post season. Giants are no match for them.

Arizona Cardinals @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Phily
Wager: 11
Thoughts: A lot like Buffalo, I'd like to see Philly get upset here. I just don't see it happening.

New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Pick: Tampa Bay
Wager: 6
Thoughts: I think they are the most consistent of the inconsistent division.

San Francisco 49ers @ Washington Commanders
Pick: San Fran
Wager: 15
Thoughts: We call this wrong place at the wrong time. SF is going to be steaming after being embarrassed last week and the Commanders are the punching bag.

Carolina Panthers @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Carolina
Wager: 4
Thoughts: Why not? The Jags are crumbling, and the Panthers are due a nice little win.

Miami Dolphins @ Baltimore Ravens
Pick: Miami
Wager: 16
Thoughts: Yup, I'm out of my mind. If Miami wants to be taken seriously as a post season contender, they have to find a way to win this game. And they have beaten the Ravens the last two years.

Tennessee Titans @ Houston Texans
Pick: Houston
Wager: 7
Thoughts: I'd normally take my number 2 but since I had to pick up Stroud for the playoffs, I see Houston making a statement win here as they push for the division.

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Seattle Seahawks
Pick: Seattle
Wager: 9
Thoughts: Pushing for a playoff spot. Pitts D is tough, but Seattle has more tools on offense.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Denver Broncos
Pick: Los Angeles
Wager: 8
Thoughts: I'd normally take Denver here but since they benched Russ, it shows me they aren't playing to try and get a playoff spot.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Kansas City Chiefs
Pick: Kansas City
Wager: 1
Thoughts: The Chiefs are in a tailspin and have gone from fighting for the one seed to fighting off the Raiders from stealing their division. Both teams need this win so I'm going for the home team to finally seal the division.

Green Bay Packers @ Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Minnesota
Wager: 10
Thoughts: Another team I think is better than their record. Minnesota wins at home and keeps their playoff hopes alive.

Tie Breaker(If Needed)
Total Combined Score of Packers Vs Vikings: 32
