NFL Picks Week 17: Who Will Win This Week's Key Games?

Usually, the final week of the NFL regular season doesn't provide a ton of drama, but this season we're treated to a few games that have serious playoff implications. 

Let's take a look out how Week 17's key games will shake out. 

Dallas Cowboys at New York Giants 

The Giants and Cowboys have similar offenses, both with explosive tendencies, especially in the receiving corps. 

However, although New York is statistically one of the worst running teams in the NFL, Ahmad Bradshaw adds a much needed spark that'll open up the play-action pass for Eli Manning, Victor Cruz and Co. 

The Giants can get pressure on the quarterback by only sending four guys, and if Tony Romo plays, he'll be frequently flustered. 

This game should be a tightly contested one, but I give New York the advantage at home.

Expect a shootout with both teams scoring in the 30s.  

Kansas City Chiefs at Denver Broncos 

Teams have figured out the Broncos offense and have forced Tim Tebow to throw from the pocket. While he can make the occasional big play, he's still inaccurate down the field. 

The Chiefs' offense has been revitalized with Kyle Orton under center, and the defense actually did a good job of limiting Tebow in the first matchup. 

Denver didn't run the ball well against a poor Buffalo Bills defense last week and if they struggle again, they'll have an extremely tough time beating KC even though they're playing at home.

Buffalo's offense didn't have an especially spectacular day through the air, but C.J. Spiller ran for 111 yards on 16 carries.  

The Chiefs offense will be able to move the ball consistently and the defense, led by Tamba Hali and Derrick Johnson, will execute the game plan to shut down what the Broncos try to do offensively.
