Picking Winners for Week 17 in the NFL

Kansas City Chiefs at Pittsburgh Steelers Kansas City, and they won.

Baltimore Ravens at Houston Texans Baltimore, and they won.

Seattle Seahawks at Chicago Bears Seattle, and they won.

Los Angeles Chargers at New England Patriots Los Angeles Chargers. The Patriots are just too young to have much of a chance against a team playing to get into the playoffs.

Denver Broncos at Cincinnati Bengals Cincinnati. The Bengals still have slim playoff hopes. This is absolutely a toss up game. When I feel that way, I usually take the home team.

Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are a very hot team. They should handle the Cardinals rather easily.

Dallas Cowboys at Philadelphia Eagles Philadelphia. Jalen Hurts won't play in this game, so it will probably be close, but the Eagles defense is really tough.

Indianapolis Colts at New York Giants Indianapolis. QB Anthony Richardson might not play for the Colts. It shouldn't matter. The Giants are awful.

Las Vegas Raiders at New Orleans Saints Las Vegas. The Raiders might be very slightly the better of these two sorry teams.

Tennessee Titans at Jacksonville Jaguars Tennessee. I like backup QB Mason Rudolph better than any QB the Jaguars can throw out there.

New York Jets at Buffalo Bills Buffalo. One more win gives the Bills the AFC number 2 seed. They have a way better team than the Jets.

Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tampa Bay. The Panthers usually play the Buccaneers tough, so I expect a close game with Tampa Bay winning.

Miami Dolphins at Cleveland Browns Miami. The Dolphins hope to still be alive for the playoffs. That depends on Denver losing to Cincinnati on Saturday.

Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings Minnesota. This will be two excellent teams. The Vikings are still alive for the NFC North title, so they have a little more to play for.

Atlanta Falcons at Washington Commanders Washington. Falcons fans were thrilled with the debut of QB Michael Penix last week. That was against the lowly Giants. This is against the playoff bound Commanders.

Detroit Lions at San Francisco 49ers Detroit. The 49ers are pretty much in the tank, but they are a proud franchise. Even their pride won't save them in this game.

May God always be your number 1 draft pick!
