This Week in the NFL - Week 17

We've made it...the final week of the regular NFL season. A couple of playoff spots left to be decided and some history that can be made. Other than that it's nearly impossible to tell what will happen in this week's games. Players are rested, injured ones are shut down, and some have just quit on the season. That being said, here's our picks for Week 17.

Patriots -13.5 at Giants
You're kidding right? The Pats are going to blow the Giants off the field to get their perfect regular season. The Giants could play all their starters for the full 60 minutes and it wouldn't matter. We actually had a chance to go to this game and passed.

Jets -6 vs. Chiefs
Back to back games at the Meadowlands. Too bad they didn't play a doubleheader.

Eagles -7.5 vs. Bills
This is really too big a spread for the Cheesesteaks, but McNabb is hot again and the Bills can't stop the run - translation: big game for Brian Westbrook.

Bucs +2.5 vs. Panthers
Bucs will be sitting regulars, but their defense should still be enough to stop whomever is at QB for the Panthers.

Bengals -2.5 at Dolphins
We wouldn't be at all surprised for the Bungles to show up, but Carson Palmer should be able to pick apart the Fish defense.

Packers -5 at Lions
Packers were humiliated by the Bears last week. Favre won't play the whole game, but its still bad news for the Lions.

Jags +6 at Texans
Sorry, even with the regulars sitting, this team is too good for the Texans.

Seahawks +1 at Falcons
We predict we'll get this one wrong.

Browns -11.5 at 49ers
They may not make the playoffs, but the Browns are going to go out with a bang.

Bears +2 vs. Saints
Our mistrust of the Saints continues.

Cowboys +9 at Redskins
We thinks the Skins will win the game, but even with the 'boys 2nd stringers in it should be close.

Steelers -3 at Ravens
Ravens stink. 'nuff said.

Vikings -3 at Broncos
Vikings blew their playoff chances last week, but slim chances are better than none.

Chargers +8 at Raiders
Meaningless game, but the Bolts want to go to the playoffs on a high note.

Rams +6 at Cardinals
We waivered on this one. No trust in either team.

Colts +5 vs. Titans
Peyton will play long enough to take this one.
