Week 17 plays:
Bills -3.5 (HOME)
Redskins -3 (HOME)
Bears -3 (AWAY)
Packers -3.5 (AWAY)
Ravens +3 (AWAY)
Confidence of picks:
1.) Chicago Bears.
2.) Green Bay Packers.
3.) Washington Redskins.
4.) Buffalo Bills.
5.) Baltimore Ravens.
1.) Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears are playing in a must-win game against the 4 - 11 Detroit Lions. The Lions have only won 2 games at home all season long and despite the desire to play spoiler against their division rival, I just don't think they have it in them. The Lions will not be able to stop Brandon Marshall and Charles Tillman held Calvin Johnson to 3 catches for 34 yards when these teams matched up in Week 7.
2.) Green Bay Packers.
If the Packers win this game, they will clinch a first-round bye. Furthermore, the Packers are coming into this game red hot winning their past 4 games. The Packers are a team that is playing playoff caliber football, throw in the fact that they already beat the Vikings 14 - 23 earlier in the season.
It comes down to this, First Round Bye vs Playoff Birth. I'll take the former Super Bowl MVP.
3.) Washington Redskins.
The first high-pressure game of Robert Griffin III's career and if anyone has seen this guy play earlier this year, he's got the goods. Former Heisman Trophy winner, he has the chance to showcase his talent under the national spotlight and embarrass Tony Romo again.
Robert Griffin III: 20 Touchdowns / 5 Interceptions
Tony Romo: 26 Touchdowns / 16 Interceptions.
The Redskins already beat the Cowboys 38 - 31 on the road earlier this season and after falling short to the Saints last week, the scene has been set perfectly for Robert Griffin III to clinch the division at home in Week 17.
4.) Buffalo Bills.
This is more of my lack of confidence in the Jets as opposed to having confidence in the Bills. With Greg McElroy scheduled to start Week 17, I don't expect the Jets to have much offense whatsoever. At home, I can see the Buffalo Bills offense coming alive in the final week of the season against a defeated Jets team. I don't think the Jets can stop CJ Spiller.
5.) Baltimore Ravens.
I'm not really sure WHY the Baltimore Ravens are the underdogs on this bet. Regardless, neither the Bengals or Raven can change their playoff seeding by the outcome of this game. Last week, the Bengals BARELY snuck by an average Pittsburgh Steelers football team, a game they needed to win to even make the playoffs. So, it's not like this team is dominating other teams by any imagination.
John Harbaugh will have his team playing at a high level, the Bengals have talent but don't forget Baltimore blew this team out 44 - 13 Week 1.
