2021 NFL Week 17 Predictions

 2021 NFL Week 17 Predictions

 

Titans -3.5 over Dolphins, 24-20

-I guess. Low confidence. 

 

Bills -14 over Falcons, 30-13

-High confidence. 

 

Pats -16.5 over Jags, 31-9

-Holy super teaser week. 

 

Colts -8 over Raiders, 28-19

-Wentz being back means a more complete and dominant game. Raiders are still nominally alive, however. 

 

Bucs -13 over Jets, 24-10

-Super teaser week continues. This is likely to be ugly/unwatchable. 

 

Rams -6 over Ravens, 34-17

-Really starting to fall apart in Baltimore. Also, Cooper Kupp might get all the records this week with how Swiss cheese the Ravens secondary is. 

 

Eagles -4.5 over WFT, 23-13

-Eagles continue to win close games and edge towards the record that will make all of us next year double-take and go, "what?"

 

Bears -6 over Giants, 20-10

-I can’t believe I just willingly laid 6 points with the Bears. And felt somewhat good about it. However, Giraffe or no Giraffe, the Giants are a mess. 

 

Bengals +4.5 over Chiefs, 30-33

-Just cover, in what should be the best game of the week. It will certainly decide a lot of fantasy finals. 

 

Chargers -7.5 over Broncos, 27-10

-Normally a tough game for the Chargers, but they are getting everyone back. The Broncos are leaking water. The Chargers can also still make the playoffs. 

 

Texans +12 over 49ers, 23-24

-That’s just a lot of points for a non-elite team to cover versus a feisty Texans team that has played deceptively close games over the past month. 

 

Cowboys -6 over Cards, 31-23

-Earlier this season, this would have been an easy Cards pick. However, health and inconsistency, along with the more dynamic defense, actually makes this a more comfortable Dallas pick. 

 

Seahawks -7.5 over Lions, 31-13

-I need a big game out of Russell, so I’m trying to will it into existence. 

 

Saints -6.5 over Panthers, 20-12

-As long as Ian Book is not involved. 

 

Packers -12.5 over Vikings, 24-6

-Because Kellen Mond may be involved. And it’s going to be 5 degrees. 

 

Browns -3 over Steelers, 27-17

-Let’s send Ben out with style, shall we? And by style, I mean crushing defeat with embarrassment.
