2011-12 Picks - NFL - Week 17

And here we are. Week 17 of the NFL season. Playoff implications, pride on the line, and sometimes (in the case of the Colts) even draft picks are on the line. Who will come away the big winner heading into Wild Card weekend? Come Sunday, we'll find out.

Game of the Week - Sunday Jan 1, 2012
DAL @ NYG

For all the marbles. Reminds me of the Little Giants accept the Giants here are the favorites. Romo and the Cowboys are full of unrealized potential. They're always on the cusp of taking control of the division, but never can quite turn the corner. The Giants are the same, accept when the times get really tough, Eli turns into his own athletic, playmaking version of big-bro. Knowing this, I'm going with Romo and the Cowboys. Maybe I'm hoping against hope because I like the guy and Eli took away my boy Tom Brady's perfect season.

Sun, Jan 01
WAS @ PHI | Philadelphia - Vick and the Eagles should close the season with a victory against the lowly Redskins. Wonder if Andy Reid keeps his job, though.
PIT @ CLE | Pittsburgh - Colt McCoy doesn't want to see any part of James Harrison this week.
BAL @ CIN | Baltimore - The Bengals could wrap up a playoff birth with a win this week, but the Ravens are eyeing a first round bye.
NYJ @ MIA | New York - Rex Ryan can't be on the chopping block if he wins the last game of the season, right?...Right?
CAR @ NO | New Orleans - Breesus and the Saints look poised for another Superbowl run.
TB @ ATL | Atlanta - Not sure what happened Season-over-season but the Bucs are back to being the Bucs we're come to be familiar with.
DET @ GB | Green Bay - Pains me to say the Packers are going to be 15-1, but they are.
SF @ STL | San Francisco - Ya know, I'm still not sold on the 49ers as a contender...but they're pretty good. No denying that.
IND @ JAC | Jacksonville - And the Andrew Luck sweepstakes winner is...
BUF @ NE | New England - Superbowl bound.
TEN @ HOU | Houston - I think the Texans win this week, but not sure how they'll fare going into the playoffs.
CHI @ MIN | Chicago - Ending the season with a win is what the Bears deserve after an injury-riddled season.
KC @ DEN | Denver - Tebow looks to get the Mania-train back on track just in time for the playoffs.
SD @ OAK | San Diego - Everyone is really just wondering if Norv Turner will be back next season.
SEA @ ARI | Seattle - Couldn't have any week without the toss up of the week.
