NFL Picks - Week 17
Blogcritics Magazine ^ | December 27, 2008 | RJ Elliott

Posted on 12/27/2008 8:13:50 PM PST by rob88888

Must-See For Historic Failure: Detroit 0-15 at Green Bay 5-10 - 1:00 PM (Line: Green Bay by 10.5)

The Lions are one loss away from the NFL's first "perfect" 0-16 season. The Packers haven't lost to the Lions in Wisconsin since 1991.

RJ's Pick: Detroit by 1

Must-See: Carolina 11-4 at New Orleans 8-7 - 1:00 PM (Line: Carolina by 3)

Will Carolina win the NFC South and secure a playoff bye? Will Drew Brees break Dan Marino's record for most passing yards in a single season?

RJ's Pick: New Orleans by 8

Worth Watching: Oakland 4-11 at Tampa Bay 9-6 - 1:00 PM (Line: Tampa Bay by 13)

The Raiders are 0-3 against NFC teams this season. The Buccaneers have lost three straight. They are 6-1 at home, and need a win and some help in order to grab the final Wild Card slot in the NFC.

RJ's Pick: Tampa Bay by 4

What about the Bills??? Maybe they’ll pull out another squeaker this week. The Patriots sorta stink without Brady.

As a Bills fan, I’ll be rooting for the Patriots this week. We need a losing record for Ralph Wilson to finally see the light and dump that loser Dick Jauron.

That Denver vs San Diego game is going to be a mofo. In fact, there are some good nail-biters available tomorrow.

Panthers are going to choke and the Falcons are going to end up being the #2 seed in the NFC.

Pennington will get revenge against the Jets and Dolphins will win the division.

Vikings will beat the Giants, who'll probably play their scrubs since they got the #1 seed locked up, and end up winning the NFC Norris.

Lions will probably beat the Packers considering how crappy the Packers' season has been. AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!

“It’s Week 17, and I don’t know what it’s like to win an NFL game,” he said somberly. “The situation we’re in has to be enough to give everything you’ve got in this last game.

“It’s our Super Bowl.”

Worth Watching: Chicago 9-6 at Houston 7-8 - 1:00 PM (Line: Houston by 2.5)

The Bears need a win and some help in order to make the playoffs. The Texans would like to finish the season at .500 after starting the year 0-4 (kinda like the Bizarro World Buffalo Bills).

A second consecutive .500 season for Houston would be great especially considering the distractions they had with hurricane Ike.

I predict the Lions will make history. It will be a record that will stand the test of time.

Detroit by 1? This guy needs an intervention. I perdict that Detroit will draft and the draftee will reject. I would.
