Happy New Years to Everybody! Gameday Blog: Week 17 Scores & Predictions!

First off I just wanna thank all my readers, and wish everybody a Happy New Year! Be safe tonight everybody.

So Lets get to it. I have some upsets for you this week, as we prepare for what I think will be a crazy closing week in the National Football League.

Fair well To The Regular Season.

Detroit @ Green Bay:  This season 10 times out of 10 I would pick Green Bay...Hold up though. Green Bay has already clinched home field advantage, and the number one seed. Which means their starters will see the Bench at some point. Detroit is in the Playoffs, but still has a better seed to play for. Detroit 36 Green Bay 27

Tennessee @ Houston:  The last two weeks what I have seen out of T.J. Yates has been good, but not good enough to go anywhere. 13-16 for 160+ yards Vs the Indianapolis Colts Defense?? Houston needs Matt Schaub back. All Tennessee needs to is win, and rely on other teams to decide their fate. Titans 24 Texans 18

Indianapolis @ Jacksonville:  Two words and a hyphen. Maurice Jones-Drew. Colts will tie the Rams for the leagues worst record. Jaguars 17 Colts 14 (OT)

New York Jets @ Miami:  While I don't think this is the last year we will see Mark Sanchez as a NFL QB (That will come mid-season next year.) Matt Moore is showing promise for the Miami Dolphins. Dolphins 30 Jets 20

Chicago @ Minnesota:  I liked what I saw of Josh McCown last week Vs the Packers, if it carries over Chicago gets another W. Still puzzled why they didn't sign a vet QB to come in after Cutler got injured, but hey their not my team hahaha. Minnesota will have a gimpy Adrian Peterson & Christian Ponder, but with Joe Webb possibly starting at quarterback again it's anybodies ball game. Push

Buffalo @ New England:  Bla bla bla Tom Brady's got a sore shoulder..I ain't buyin it. The Pats still have a #1 seed to play for. And as for Buffalo....alot of teams circle the wagons like the Buffalo Bills #Thatisall. New England 35 Buffalo 25

Carolina @ New Orleans:  I believe the Saints starters will play the whole game, and with that we have our winner. We also have possibly two of the best rookie quarterbacks to ever play this game in Cam Newton and Andy Dalton. Saints 35 Panthers 34...doesn't it seem like the Saints always play at home?? Just sayin.

Washington @ Philadelphia:  Well Rex Grossman's New Years resolution is to not make any stupid predictions for next year. "I believe we will win the NFC East" Grossman will be warming the bench or perhaps bagging grocery's at Food Lion. Ohh and Mike Vick..yea he's pretty good. Eagles 37 Redskins 17 

San Francisco @ St. Louis:  San Francisco will play their starter the whole game, as they want that first round bye in the playoffs. Regardless weather they get it or not, this will be the first time since 2002 that the 49ers have been in the playoffs. Congrats to them. I do think the Rams will challenge the 9ers however, but they fall short. 49ers 25 Rams 20

Seattle @ Arizona:  Both teams are red hot, even though they have nothing to play for. I expect this game to be great! John Skelton has a job to play for, and Marshawn Lynch will be snacking on some skittles after he scores two rushing TD's. Cards win however. Cardinals 26 Seahawks 21

Tampa Bay @ Atlanta:  The Bucs are kind of a hot mess right now. Their coach will most likely be fired at the end of the season. Why? Good question, this can't be good for Josh Freeman. Falcons 28 Buccaneers 21

Baltimore @ Cincinnati:  Everbody's hoppin on that Bengals bandwagon in week 17....well whats their excuse going to be when they lose? Hmmmm. Ravens 28 Bengals 18. However I believe the Bengals will manage to make it to the playoffs, and all im going to say is...I'm scared (No sarcasm intended.)

Pittsburgh @ Cleveland:  Word is Ben Roethlisberger will be a game time decision..ehhh that's risky, but regardless I like Cleveland in this game. Simply because the Browns were so close to getting their first and only legitimate victory IN Pittsburgh. They are also the reason for Big Ben's injury. The Browns will come out hungry and aggressive. Browns 24 Steelers 21 (OT)

Kansas City @ Denver:  If the Chiefs had any other quarterback starting I would pick the Denver Broncos. Weather Kyle Orton shows it or not Kyle Orton is hungry for a win over his former team. Chiefs 30 Broncos 15

PS: this game will come down to the last five minutes. Callin it KC scores two touchdown's in the final five.
 

San Diego @ Oakland:  With an Oakland win, and a Denver loss. The Raiders will clinch the AFC west. San Diego is still a tough football team, but Carson Palmer and Denarious Moore single handedly torched the Chargers secondary. Now this time their at home, oh boy. Raiders 24 Chargers 17

SNF Dallas @ New York Giants:  With out a doubt, don't care who you are a fan of this is the game of the week! It was even flexed to a prime time setting. Eli Manning does deserve to be in the pro bowl (nothing against Matt Stafford) but the man has beaten the "Eli"te teams when he has too. 14 touchdown passes in the fourth quarter thus far. Make it 16 after Today. Tony Romo has always had this Dallas squad playing great. Yea he's a bit of a choker, but I believe if the Cowboys stick with him. They will win a Super Bowl BOOK IT!! Giants 31 Cowboys 29.
