Flea Flicker Week 17 Predictions

Here's a stab at the games on the final Sunday of the 2018 NFL Regular Season. All 32 teams play today. They don't all play games that mean something in the playoffs but they all play today.

Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Vikings
There's only one acceptable outcome for this game.

Atlanta Falcons @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Pick: Falcons
I'll go with the team on a winning streak.

Miami Dolphins @ Buffalo Bills
Pick: Bills
Going with the home team.

Carolina Panthers @ New Orleans Saints
Pick: Saints
Bridgewater Time!

Dallas Cowboys @ New York Giants
Pick: Giants
The Cowboys should win but I don't trust them to do anything that they should do.

New York Jets @ New England Patriots
Pick: Patriots
The Jets might be feisty but they aren't feisty enough to beat the Patriots at home. In Week 17.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Houston Texans
Pick: Texans
Bortles is back!

Detroit Lions @ Green Bay Packers
Pick: Packers
The Lions seemed to quit last week after the Vikings' Hail Mary to close the first half.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Denver Broncos
Pick: Chargers
Four weeks ago the Broncos were on the cusp of the playoffs. They haven't won a game since.

San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams
Pick: Rams
The 49ers have been feisty. It should take much more than feisty to take out a Rams team hoping to maintain a first round bye.

Arizona Cardinals @ Seattle Seahawks
Pick: Seahawks
When teams play in Seattle they have to beat the Seahawks and the refs. The Seahawks should be enough to beat the Cardinals.

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins
Pick: Eagles
The Eagles need a win and some help to make the playoffs. I'm guessing that they only get a win and end up outside the playoffs.

Cleveland Browns @ Baltimore Ravens
Pick: Ravens
I've always had an issue with this rivalry. Neither team would exist if the Browns hadn't left Cleveland after the 1995 season.

Oakland Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs
Pick: Chiefs
The Chiefs should roll.

Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Pick: Steelers
The Steelers need a win and a Ravens loss. Or a win and a Colts-Titans tie. Banking on a tie is just stupid. So, the Steelers need a win and a Ravens loss. I think that they only get half of what they need.

Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans
Pick: Colts
The Colts have been a beast since October.
