NFL Week 17 Picks

Saturday, January 1st, 2005

9-7 as a plethora of teams play in meaningless games, giving meaningless efforts.
Yearly record suffers down to 153-89.

Now, how to predict games with teams eliminated or resting starters? Who the hell knows?!

Week 17’s Frantically trying to guess which injured players won’t start Picks.
Minnesota over Washington – Vikings must win, and will
St. Louis over NY Jets – Rams must win, and will – but Martz gets fired anyway
Carolina over New Orleans – The Panthers remarkable comeback complete; Haslett fired
Denver over Indianapolis – Nothing to Colts, everything to Denver – Broncos win
Pittsburgh over Buffalo – Game means nothing to Steelers, but they bounce the Bills anyway
Baltimore over Miami – Dolphins will start Sage Rosenfels? You have got to be kidding me
Jacksonville over Oakland – Jags atone for last week’s shutout with win over pointless Raiders
Houston over Cleveland – Texans manage a .500 record by beating useless Browns
San Diego over Kansas City – Chargers still win over Chiefs by running away with it
Atlanta over Seattle – The Falcons refuse to allow Seattle any respect of dignity with a win
Cincinnati over Philadelphia – Bengals win as Eagles play without Owens, purpose
Chicago over Green Bay – The Bears win at home in finale; Packers still won’t give ball to Green
New England over San Francisco – This one is over early, like the 49ers season. #1 pick in April!
Arizona over Tampa Bay – Respect in the desert continues with Cardinals win
Dallas over NY Giants – Giants fell to pieces with Eli – they continue that trend to close the year
Detroit over Tennessee – Lions looked okay, Titans looked like a broken team last week

There you be – 16 games. Hopefully 16 winners, or at least 10 one final time.
MIN, STL, CAR, DEN, PIT, BAL, JAX, HOU, SD, ATL, CIN, CHI, NE, AZ, DAL, DET
