NFL picks 2008, week 17

[Dan!]

This is it, folks. It's a tight race and it comes down to the last week. All games are on Sunday.

I have ramped up the stakes this week. Every game that has playoff implications is worth 3 points with the Sunday night game worth 5 points.

SUN, DEC 28
St. Louis at Atlanta
New England at Buffalo
Kansas City at Cincinnati
Detroit at Green Bay
Tennessee at Indianapolis
NY Giants at Minnesota
Carolina at New Orleans
Cleveland at Pittsburgh
Oakland at Tampa Bay
Chicago at Houston
Miami at NY Jets
Dallas at Philadelphia
Jacksonville at Baltimore
Washington at San Francisco
Seattle at Arizona
Denver at San Diego

I find it quite amusing that after the way we've been playing the past several weeks, we're going out with an 0-15 team! But hey, at least this way we should come off with a win right? You would think....

We shall see...

[Dan!]

In celebration of "New" Years, and the theme of out with the old, in with the new, I am picking the "newer" of the two teams playing this week. If they were founded the same year, I picked the team with the newer stadium.

I just want to give ya'll a heads up that I will post the winner of the second half on Monday morning. And remember, the lowest weekly total gets dropped, so it is still anybondy's contest to win!

Dan if you don't mind I need to hijack this thread for a second to ask everyone to vote for me in the Mac Powell Treasure Hunt! I'm last on the list & I'm currently in last on video voting! I'm in second in the whole competition though so it's a TIGHT race, but I fear that Emmo will pull ahead of us all with all those votes! So please go vote for me & remember...I'm the only pirate in the game who cares enough to come here & talk sports with you all ;)

http://tinyurl.com/8ljj7m Madd Speedy Kidd's the name!

Or how bout this....since I seem to be doing fairly well in this competition here, how's about a little bribery? For every vote I get from you guys, I'll throw a pick for tomorrow ;) I'll post my picks @ 11:30am giving you plenty of time to vote for me! ;)

Ok back to our regularly scheduled programming!

Yikes! I got a whopping 11 points out of a possible 32 this week! Yuck!

[Dan!]

Our second half winner is....rockingrodgomer! He had a strong streak of weeks at the end to pull well ahead of the pack. Congratulations! Your prize will be on the way soon. I barely edged out Jason for second half mod bragging rights.

The final week had rockingrodgomer and AtlBraves tied with 26 big points.

Now we get down to the nitty gritty of playoff games. Be sure and check out that thread for rules and this week's games.
