2012-13 Picks - NFL - Week 17


Game of the Week - Sunday, December 30
DAL @ WAS | Cowboys - It’s only fitting that a game of this magnitude should be the last of the regular season. The final pieces of the NFC playoff puzzle won’t be in place until it ends. So what’s on the line? More than your everyday “W”, that’s for sure. The winner of this bitter rivalry earns a playoff berth and a division title in the starkly competitive NFC East. Then there are the individual accolades (to a lesser degree of importance, of course). For Jason Garret, a win likely means another season of tenure as Cowboys head coach. For RG3, it adds another layer onto his case for Rookie of the Year in the race against Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck. For Tony Romo, it’s another chance to get the proverbial monkey off of his back as it pertains to winning big games—although the games to proceed will only get bigger for everyone involved. Jerry Jones must be pleased...

Sunday, December 30
CHI @ DET | Bears – The Bears need this one. They Bears haven’t had Cutler healthy in a game they needed him in for quite some time.
MIA @ NE | Patriots – This is the kind of game the Patriots have historically over-played their stars in.
TB @ ATL | Falcons – Nobody is quite sure what happened to the Falcons today.
NYJ @ BUF | Bills – This is just the kind of situation that the Bills can win in; dysfunctional team without leadership.
BAL @ CIN | Bengals – The Bengals are in the playoffs!!! And they’re poised to play spoiler.
JAC @ TEN | Titans – ATTN Jacksonville: Tebow is on the way. I REPEAT. Tim Tebow is on the way.
HOU @ IND | Colts – If Reggie Wayne gets his way, the Colts get the “W”.
CAR @ NO | Saints – With the news of Sean Peyton returning the sidelines, this team should be fired up to springboard into next year with a “W”.
PHI @ NYG | Giants – Mike Vick should be play like this is an audition for next year – but the Giants are a prideful bunch and although their playoff hopes are slim, I imagine they’d give them life support until the very end.
CLE @ PIT | Steelers – The Browns have already won more than their fair share of games this year. (Sorry Browns fans).
KC @ DEN | Broncos – The only team that makes this team any scarier than last year’s team is Peyton Manning – oh wait…
GB @ MIN | Packers – Indirectly, a Packers win helps the Bears which is the last thing they want – but the Vikings are a rival, too and I’m sure they’d prefer AP didn’t go breaking records on their franchise.
OAK @ SD | Chargers – I misspoke last week. The Raiders didn’t play Pryor last week. They played Matt Leinart…
ARI @ SF | 49ers – The 49ers are slowly deteriorating…at the worst possible time.
STL @ SEA | Seahawks – The Seahawks have caught fire…at the best possible time.

Thanks for reading guys.
