Early Week 17 Thoughts

Good vs. Evil: I know who I'm siding with.

Week 17 is shaping up to be an interesting one. All but 2 playoff spots are already locked up, but seeding could be greatly affected by the games on Sunday. The NFL has done a very good job of moving the schedule around such that teams that could possibly affect each other all play at the same time. For example, the Saints, who are locked into the 3 seed with a 49ers win, play at the same time as the 49ers. This should ensure that not too many teams rest their starters, which should make for an entertaining set of games.

The final spots up for grabs are the AFC West and the second Wild Card team in the AFC. Hilariously enough, there is a chance that two AFC West teams could make the playoffs, neither of which is San Diego or Kansas City. I wonder how much money you could have made if you bet that before the season started. What would those odds have been? 15,000:1? There are too many scenarios to go through, so if you want to check them out go to ESPN... plus I'm sure we'll go further in depth later on in the week.

For now, just root for the Tebows to win at home against the Chiefs. If they win, they're in. Then, all will be right in the world.
