Week 17 Of The 2009-10 NFL Season Is Here

Week 17... final week of the regular season. Over these past few weeks, I have generally been up and down with my predictions... going 12-4 in week 14, dropping to 7-9 in week 15, then rebounding for another 12-4 week in the 16th week of the season. My record for the season to date for all of the first 16 weeks is 154-86... slightly better than where I was at this time last year (150-89-1).

Picking games in the last week of the regular season is always, I've found, the most complicated. Not knowing for sure which teams will rest their starters and even then, how exactly that will effect the outcome of their games. But, last year I was 9-7 in the final week... overall, not too bad all things considering.

Here are my picks for each of the week 17 games...

Buffalo over Indianapolis

Minnesota over New York Giants

Tampa Bay over Atlanta

San Francisco over St Louis

Pittsburgh over Miami

Carolina over New Orleans

Chicago over Detroit

New England over Houston

Cleveland over Jacksonville

Dallas over Philadelphia

Tennessee over Seattle

San Diego over Washington

Oakland over Baltimore (Major Upset Alert!)

Denver over Kansas City

Green Bay over Arizona

New York Jets over Cincinnati

Happy New Year!
