Fbkid's Week 17 Predictions


Last week was an ok week as I went 9-7 on my picks. As the regular season comes to a close, the games get tougher to predict as teams like the Titans and Giants who have already clinched the number one seed and homefield advantage, have nothing to play for. Some teams though are still going to be giving it their all this week though as divisions like the AFC East and NFC South haven't been clinched yet. Here are my week 17 picks.

Game of the weak: Chiefs vs Bengals: Both of these teams have been playing better over the last few weeks but come April, both could end up having top 5 picks.

Game of the week: Dolphins vs Jets: Only a few weeks ago experts were already talking about the possibilites of a "Subway Superbowl" between the Jets and the Giants. Considering that both teams actually play in New Jersey and the Jets inability to beat bad teams on the road, it doesn't look like it's going to happen. The Dolphins are now the toast of the league going from a 1-15 record a year ago to contending for a division title. This game should have lots of drama (The Brett Favre last game card)and should come down to the wire. If the Jets lose, we get to see how much the New York media and fans really "love" Favre.

Last week: 9-7
Season: 144-96-1

Patriots 26 Bills 17
