NFL Picks - Week 17

Last week was exciting stuff. Congrats to Calvin Johnson who set the single season receiving mark, in a loss of course. 10 teams are now clinched for the playoffs, with the NFC East and second NFC Wildcard spot still up for grabs. Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck were apart of two of those teams that clinched which is amazing for those rookie QB’s. RGIII could also clinch this week to make it three rookie QB’s dancing next week. AD moved closer to the all-time rushing record, but will need a big week now to get it done. Here are the updated pick standings:

Andrew – 1350 Points (155-84-1)

Greg – 1191 Points (149-90-1) – Winner of Week 16

Can’t believe that only one week remains in the 2012 regular season. The focus is on the last two playoff spots that are up for grabs. The game to decide the NFC East is a winner-take-all game between Washington and Dallas. Wildcard implications surround the Vikings/Packers game, Bears/Lions game, and Giants/Eagles game. Another key game to keep an eye on is Houston at Indianapolis, because that will ultimately decide who gets home field in the AFC (Houston, Denver, or New England).

Below are our picks and confidence points for all the games. Play along in the comment section if you want:
