Week 17 Game Picks

Lions win NFC North; Redskins beat Giants

There are eight games that are meaningful this week and will play a role in how the playoffs will shape up come January. The Falcons are fighting the Seahawks for the #2 seed, the Raiders and Chiefs could swap spots, and the Patriots could fall out of the #1 seed in the AFC. The last game will be Packers at Lions in Ford Field, which will decided who wins the NFC North. Here are my predictions for who will win in the final week of the regular season.
  • Baltimore Ravens 24 - Cincinnati Bengals 20
  • Indianapolis Colts 27 - Jacksonville Jaguars 21
  • Chicago Bears 23 - Minnesota Vikings 19
  • Buffalo Bills 28 - New York Jets 17
  • New England Patriots 31 - Miami Dolphins 28
  • Pittsburgh Steelers 20 - Cleveland Browns 14
  • Philadelphia Eagles 30 - Dallas Cowboys 24
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers 22 - Carolina Panthers 20
  • Houston Texans 23 - Tennessee Titans 14
  • Washington Redskins 31 - New York Giants 21
  • Denver Broncos 20 - Oakland Raiders 17
  • Arizona Cardinals 20 - Los Angeles Rams 3
  • Kansas City Chiefs 30 - San Diego Chargers 27
  • Seattle Seahawks 37 - San Francisco 49ers 14
  • Atlanta Falcons 41 - New Orleans Saints 28
  • Detroit Lions 28 - Green Bay Packers 27

Why the Patriots Won Super Bowl 51

Pats Win Over Falcons 34-28 in OT It was a tale of two halves. In the first half, the Patriots could not get anything going on the offensive side of the ball. In the second half, the Falcons could not get anything going. Belichick and Brady pulled off some more magic and won their fifth Super Bowl together. In the second half, it seemed as though the game was getting away from the Atlanta Falcons, and their youth caught up to them. I believe that this game should have definitely been won by the Falcons, but the game slipped away from them. There are many reasons to explain what happened, including the fact that the Falcons did not run the football to milk down the clock in the second half, they turned the ball over when it was not necessary, they did not play as tough and physical on defense and seemed gassed, and even just because Tom Brady and the rest of his offense played a hell of a game. In my opinion, though, the real reason why the Patriots won, is because of t...

Week 14 Power Rankings

Cowboys on a Roll, Panthers Drop Not many people expected the Dallas Cowboys to top the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football during Week 13. The Saints came into the game winning ten straight, while the Cowboys were a "mediocre" team in the midst of a three-game winning streak. The Cowboys won 13-10 and will rise in the week's rankings. In other important games, the Chicago Bears lost a shocker to the New York Giants, Lamar Jackson won his third straight game for the Baltimore Ravens against the Atlanta Falcons, the Houston Texans won their ninth straight game, and the Los Angeles Chargers won a close one against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Carolina Panthers are quickly fading in the wild-card race, and have lost four straight games. Here are my rankings heading into Week 14: Los Angeles Rams (11-1) Kansas City Chiefs (10-2) New Orleans Saints (10-2) Los Angeles Chargers (9-3) New England Patriots (9-3) Houston Texans (9-3) Pittsburgh Steelers (...

Week 7 Power Rankings

Chiefs Suffer First Loss; Ravens Shut Out Titans The New England Patriots were able to defeat the Kansas City Chiefs by three points at home, Aaron Rodgers and the Packers came back to avoid an upset to the 49ers, the Steelers defeated the Bengals, and the Dolphins took down the Bears at the end of overtime. There were some unexpected wins and losses, as well as some close games, in Week 6. The Dallas Cowboys blew out the Jacksonville Jaguars and their top-notch defense, 40-7. It is been hard to figure out which teams are "contenders" and which are "pretenders" this season. It is especially difficult to rank the middle of the pack teams. Here are my power rankings heading into Week 7: Los Angeles Rams (6-0) New Orleans Saints (4-1) Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) New England Patriots (4-2) Los Angeles Chargers (4-2) Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2-1) Minnesota Vikings (3-2-1) Baltimore Ravens (4-2) Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) Carolina Panthers (3-2) Green Bay P...
