The final week of the 2016 NFL Season. It sure went by fast. As a Minnesota Vikings fan I wouldn't mind too much if the scheduled was rolled back about 12 weeks. Here are the final Flea Flicker predictions of the regular season. With 10 of the 12 playoff spots taken, seeding is just about the only thing up for grabs in most of these games. 20 teams will start their 2017 offseason.
Chicago Bears @ Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Vikings
The Vikings were 5-1 against their division foes last year. They have to win this game to avoid going 1-5 against those same foes this year. That's a big reason, among many reasons, why they won't be part of the postseason this year.
Buffalo Bills @ New York Jets
Pick: Bills
The Bills fired Rex Ryan after last week's game. The Jets still feel like more of a mess.
Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals
Pick: Ravens
The Ravens look like a playoff team. At least they did last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It'll be interesting to see how they play after that heartbreaking loss.
Cleveland Browns @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Pick: Steelers
The Browns got their win last week. I don't have to pick them in this one.
Dallas Cowboys @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Eagles
Unless the Cowboys want to try and get the rookie rushing record for Ezekiel Elliott I don't think that they care much about this game.
New England Patriots @ Miami Dolphins
Pick: Patriots
The Dolphins have less to play for than the Patriots. I don't think that really matters much.
Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans
Pick: Texans
It's a damn shame that Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota broke a leg last week. This game could've been for the division title. Now, it's just a Week 17 game.
Carolina Panthers @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Pick: Buccaneers
The Buccaneers have a glimmer of a playoff hope. That should be enough to win their final game of the season.
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Indianapolis Colts
Pick: Colts
The Jaguars are closing a long, sad season. The Colts are trying to finish with a non-losing record. Looks like Colts.
Kansas City Chiefs @ San Diego Chargers
Pick: Chiefs
The Chiefs can still pry the AFC West title from the Oakland Raiders. Hopefully the Chargers aren't playing their last game in San Diego.
Seattle Seahawks @ San Francisco 49ers
Pick: Seahawks
The Seahawks are in a fight with as many as three teams for the NFC's #2 seed. That should be more than enough to get them past the 49ers.
Arizona Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams
Pick: Cardinals
The Rams lost to the 49ers. Twice.
New York Giants @ Washington Redskins
Pick: Redskins
The Redskins need this game. The Giants might not care about it at all.
Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos
Pick: Broncos
This game should be interesting just to see how the Raiders rally around new quarterback Matt McGloin. The defending champs should find finishing at 9-7 as motivation enough at home.
New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons
Pick: Falcons
This could be a fun, season-ending shootout.
Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions
Pick: Packers
The winner takes the NFC North. The do or die nature of this game could lose some of it's shine if the Redskins lose earlier in the day. The Packers have won five straight. The Lions have lost their last two games. Aaron Rodgers is playing out of his mind. Again. Matthew Stafford has a sore finger.
