By going 12-4 in week 16, I raised my overall record to 153-86-1 (which is 64%). Even if I got all 16 games this week correct, I still wouldn't even meet my secondary goal of 170 right (10 correct every week on average). My top goal of hitting 70% (180 correct) has been a pipe dream for a couple of weeks now. All I can do now is try to beat my record last year (167-89). And to do that I'd need to hit 15 right this last week. Usually week 17 is one of the most difficult to predict, but I thought many of these games were pretty cut and dried. Here are my picks this week: Baltimore 17, Cincinnati 13 New Orleans 31, Carolina 24 Chicago 27, Detroit 23 Pittsburgh 17, Cleveland 9 Houston 28, Indianapolis 20 Tennessee 23, Jacksonville 14 Buffalo 24, NY Jets 16 NY Giants 27, Philadelphia 24 Atlanta 24, Tampa 17 San Francisco 31, Arizona 13 Green Bay 31, Minnesota 20 Denver 31, Kansas City 6 New England 42, Miami 21 San Diego 20, Oakland 9 Seattle 30, St. Louis 17 Washington 30, Dallas 27 There you have it, my week 17 NFL game predictions. The Survivor Pool Lock for week 16 was another hit. Carolina did a fine job against Oakland and I think pity is the only reason it wasn't a worse beating. That makes me 13-3 in the locks to date. Here are the weekly picks and results: Week 1 (W; 27-23) Detroit over St. Louis Week 2 (L; 18-20) New England over Arizona Week 3 (L; 24-27) New Orleans over Kansas City Week 4 (W; 38-14) Houston over Tennessee Week 5 (W; 45-3) San Francisco over Buffalo Week 6 (W; 23-20) Atlanta over Oakland Week 7 (W; 21-14) Minnesota over Arizona Week 8 (W; 24-15) Green Bay over Jacksonville Week 9 (W; 31-13) San Diego over Kansas City Week 10 (W; 28-7) Seattle over NY Jets Week 11 (W 30-23) Denver over San Diego Week 12 (W; 34-10) Cincinnati over Oakland Week 13 (W; 38-33) Dallas over Philadelphia Week 14 (L; 21-23) Tampa Bay over Philadelphia Week 15 (W; 24-3) Miami over Jacksonville Week 16 (W; 17-6) Carolina over Oakland There are no great teams left for me to choose from, and those good one's left are in matchups I don't trust enough to make a lock. There are 3 teams I have winning by 8 or more points though that I haven't taken before and while I have misgivings about each of them, there is one that at the very least I trust to have pride enough, and a coach in Mike Tomlin, who I doubt will let them have a letdown. Throw in a matchup against a QB (Thaddeus Lewis) who has never even made an appearance in a regular season game, let alone a start, and I think you have a recipe for potential success. My Survivor Pool Lock for week 17 is: the Pittsburgh Steelers over the Cleveland Browns. I'll post the 2012 regular season recap next week. Good luck to all and have a safe and Happy New Year! ---- On any given Sunday any fantasy team can beat another, only to still lose Monday night.
