Week 17: Prime Picks in the NFL, Key Matchups and Predictions.

This is the final week of the regular season. Some teams are in the playoffs, and for others, it is do or die!

Tennessee travels to Indianapolis, having wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the AFC and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Look for Tennessee to rest key personnel as this game is meaningless for both teams. Indy already has a wild card. Take the Colts at home.

The Giants play the Vikings on the road. The Giants might be resting a dinged up Brandon Jacobs most of this game. Take the Vikings in a desperate bid to win their division and make the playoffs.

Hotlanta is at home against the Rams. Atlanta wins this one at home, easily, as they still have division winning hopes and a possible first round bye!

Carolina is at home against Drew Brees and the Saints. Brees will try to break Dan Marino' s single season passing record. Brees might throw 60 passes. Take Carolina to win at home however.

The Jets are at home against Miami. Miami needs a win to take the division. This is a very hard game to pick. If the Jets win, I'll be shocked. Miami completes a Cinderella season and wins the game. Look for the New York Papers to chew up Brett Favre and spit him out if he loses this game. The Jets still need New England to lose to Buffalo or they are toast!

Dallas plays Philadelphia for a playoff spot and Wade Phillips job. Dallas has more talent than Philly now and will make the playoffs. Take the underachieving Cowboys in this one.

Chicago must win and get some help from the Giants, which might not come, to steal the division from Minnesota.  I like Houston at home. Besides last week, Houston is usually a good home team this season.

Tampa Bay will beat Oakland the last game of the season, but will not make the playoffs most likely, unless Dallas loses. A disappointing season for the Bucs.

Pittsburgh will beat Cleveland at home in a tune up game for the playoffs.

Green Bay will finish a horrible season by beating Detroit and sending the Lions to the abyss of 16-0 for the season.

Arizona will snap out of their sleep walking of the last month of the season to beat Seattle and have some hopes of winning a home playoff game. Good luck on that one, Cardinals.

New England controls their own destiny and should win in Buffalo. 11-5 might not make the playoffs. Every Patriot is now a Jet fan this week.

Cincinnati is at home against the Chiefs. I like Kansas City to finish on a good note this year and win this one.

San Diego gets sweet revenge this week, knocking Denver and that horrible call earlier in Denver, out of the playoffs. San Diego to win in a cruel twist of fate on Denver.

San Francisco at home beats a mentally tired Washington Redskin team. The 49ers might challenge fot their division next season.

Baltimore will beat Jacksonville to make the AFC wild card and maybe be a playoff nightmare to some team this season.

This is it folks, next we have the playoffs, where my predictions are very, very accurate. This season, I am 152-89-1.

Good luck to all your teams in the playoffs and have a very happy holiday season, and a wonderful New Year.
