Flea Flicker Week 18 Predictions

Week 18? The 2021 regular season comes to an end on January 9. I remember a time when the Super Bowl was played on January 9. The season was 14 games and the Minnesota Vikings played in that Super Bowl. It was a different time. Here are some guesses at this year’s Week 18 games. 

Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Vikings
The Vikings frustrating 2021 season comes to an end. 

Kansas City Chiefs @ Denver Broncos
Pick: Chiefs
The Chiefs enter the playoffs on a winning note. 

Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Cowboys
Just playing for seeding?

Cincinnati Bengals @ Cleveland Browns
Pick: Bengals
The AFC North was supposed to belong to the Browns this year. The division belongs to the Bengals.

Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions
Pick: Packers
This is dependent on the Packers desire to win this meaningless (to them) game. 

Washington Football Team @ New York Giants
Pick: Washington
Like the Vikings, Washington recently had hold of a playoff spot. Like the Vikings, they couldn’t keep hold of it. 

Indianapolis Colts @ Jacksonville Jaguars
Pick: Colts
This is a must-win game for the Colts. The worst team in the league is in their way. There’s really only one outcome. 

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens
Pick: Steelers
Both team are in a win-and-pray playoff situation. With Lamar Jackson out, I have the Steelers with a slight edge.

Tennessee Titans @ Houston Texans
Pick: Titans
The Titans have quietly navigated their way to the AFC’s #1 seed. They just have to beat the Texans to keep it. 

New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons
Pick: Saints
It’s a win-and-pray game for the Saints.

New York Jets @ Buffalo Bills
Pick: Bills
It’s a tuneup game for the Bills.

San Francisco 49ers @ Los Angeles Rams
Pick: Rams
With the playoffs in front of them, neither team is playing well. 

New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins
Pick: Patriots
Playing for a first round home game? Maybe even a bye?

Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals
Pick: Cardinals
It’s a tuneup game for the Cardinals.

Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Pick: Buccaneers
After a nail-biter against the Jets, the defending champs don’t want to back their way into the playoffs.

Los Angeles Chargers @ Las Vegas Raiders
Pick: Chargers
This is a win-and-in game for both teams. I have the Chargers as the better team.
