Week 17 confidence picks

Final week of pick'em and it's a huge one for me. I currently sit 2nd, just 7 points out of 1st. I am 10 points up on 3rd so I can afford to take so risks and go for it all. Very strange week this week with teams resting starters. Hopefully most people are out of the loop and pick based on teams records.

Current Standings:
1441 points
1 weekly win
2nd out of 110

Home teams are in bold.


16- Pats over Bills. Scuba Tom should have an easy day against the miserable Buffalo Bills.

15- Saints over Panthers
14- Steelers over Browns
13- 49ers over Rams
12- Lions over Packers. Rodgers and Clay Matthews are sitting this one out. No real attempt for the Packers to win this one. Lions -3 may have been the best early line of all-time. Easy money if you got on that one early. The line went all the way up to Lions -7.

11- Titans over Texans. Texans also resting most of their starters here. Titans need to win this to have a shot at the playoffs and should be able to pull it out against the Texans 2nd team.

10- Eagles over Redskins
9- Tebows over Chiefs. Everyone loves the Chiefs because they beat the Packers 2 weeks ago but everyone forgets that they lost at home last week and might have just been lucky against Green Bay. KC is a bad football team and with the division on the line the Broncos should be able to win this one.

8- Cowboys over Giants. You should put this one much lower than I did. The guy in the lead in my league loves the Giants and goes huge on them every week so I know I can make up ground with this pick. If I didnt know he loved the Giants I would only put this at like 2 points. Still would pick the Cowboys though.

7- Jags over Colts. Colts have to lose if they want to get Andrew Luck. Something fishy will happen here so they can lock that pick down.

6- Falcons over Bucs. If the Lions win then the Falcons are locked into the 6 seed and playing for nothing. They play after the Lions game is over and should know what they are playing for. That worries me and you might see many Falcons players sit.

5- Jets over Dolphins. Jets need a win to have a shot at the playoffs. Reggie Bush is out for the Dolphins. That should really slow down their offense and gives the Jets the edge in this one.

4- Ravens over Bengals. The Ravens are only 4-3 on the road this year.

3- Vikings over Bears
2- Seahawks over Cardinals
1- Raiders over Chargers
