Week 17 Picks

All Sunday games, December 30, 2012.

Joe is down by ten picks going into the final week. We have a dozen different this week so there's a chance...

TB @ ATL (-3.5)
Mike: ATL. They're at home and they have Tony Gonzalez.
Joe: TB. Because Atlanta is only going to play their starters half a game. They're locked in.
Final: TB 22-17. This was the opposite of a must-win game for Atlanta.

NYJ @ BUF (-3.5)
Mike: NYJ. Because the Bills are even worse.
Joe: BUF. That's an easy one.
Final: BUF 28-9. How did Rex Ryan save his job after this amazing 6-10 disaster? Better yet, how did the Jets win six games?

BAL @ CIN (-2.5)
Mike: BAL. Even though they're beat up.
Joe: CIN. They want to win a division game. Big for a young team.
Final: CIN 23-17. Bengals win the big regular season finale.

CHI @ DET (+3.5)
Mike: CHI. I'm finally not picking Detroit this week.
Joe: CHI. I picked the Lions every week and I don't know that they've ever really won.
Final: CHI 26-24.  Not enough to cover that spread.

JAX @ TEN (-4.5)
Mike: TEN. What a terrible game.
Joe: JAX. Tennessee shouldn't be giving anybody more than 3. Plus a big game in the fantasy championship. Blackmon has picked up and hopefully they're winging it up all over the place. Two TDs for JB.
Final: TEN 38-20. 6-79 for Blackmon with a TD.

HOU @ IND (+3.5)
Mike: HOU. I think I have to go with the Texans here.
Joe: IND. Chuck Pagano's first game back. You can't go against that. Well, you can....
Final: IND 28-16. Feel good win for the Colts.

CAR @ NO (-4.5)
Mike: CAR. No camment.
Joe: NO. Panthers been playing well and would normally pick them but I think the Saints will be insprired by having their coach back and win by two scores.
Final: CAR 44-38. A season to forget is in the books for the 'Ain'ts.

PHI @ NYG (-7.5)
Mike: PHI. WInging. Vick going crazy.
Joe: PHI. Picking the Eagles too.
Final: NYG 42-7. This was a terrible choice.

CLE @ PIT (-6.5)
Mike: PIT.
Joe: CLE. I dont' know if there will be 6.5 points scored in this game. Definitely take the under.
Final: PIT 24-10. Dead Shurmur walking.

KC @ DEN (-15.5)
Mike: DEN.
Joe:  KC.
Final: DEN 38-3.

GB @ MIN (+3.5)
Mike: MIN. I always go with Mister Peterson.
Joe: MIN. I find it hard to go against APeterson. Must win at the dome.
Final: MIN 37-34

MIA @ NE (10.5)
Mike: NE. Dolphins can't swim in the snow.
Joe: MIA. Taking Miami to cover late in the game.
Final: NE 28-0. Dolphins just ran out of time.

OAK @ SD (-4.5)
Mike: SD. The front office farewell.
Joe: OAK. I'll take Terrell Pryor.
Final: SD 24-21.

AZ @ SF (-14.5)
Mike: AZ.
Joe: SF.  This sounds like 28-6.
Final: SF 27-13. Close. Haha. The Cardinals covered.

STL @ SEA (-10.5)
Mike: SEA. I'm doing it. I'm finally going with Seattle.
Joe: SEA.
Final: SEA 20-13.

DAL @ WASH (-3.5)
Mike: WAS. I don't think Griffin will ever have a season with a losing record and not make the playoffs.
Joe: DAL. I believe in Tony Romo.
Final: WAS 28-18.

Week 17: Mike 8-8, 6-10.
