NFL Pool Week 17 Picks

Time for the slate of games for the second last week. Only one more Thursday night game but I won’t put it into play as Dallas will likely easily beat Tennessee without Tannehill and the usual time constraints for a Thursday game. Unfortunately no more Saturday games and only one more Monday nighter, which will be in play.

Please note that a regular season winner will be declared in two weeks after which we will have a playoff pool with all games in play. Everyone will start over for that pool so if you think you are out of the regular season pool, you will have another chance in the playoff pool. These are my last picks with Mahal to bring us home next week.

Ripe for the picking are:

Sunday, January 1st-

Miami at New England Noon
Carolina at Tampa Bay Noon
NY Jets at Seattle 3:05
Minnesota at Green Bay 3:25
Pittsburgh at Baltimore 7:20

Monday, January 2nd-

Buffalo at Cincinnati 7:30

All times are Central.

Good luck and best of the season to all of you.

Will there be a slapshot during these games (Week 17 Pucks)?

sweet, the NFL switches from balls to pucks for week 17!

Week 17 = THE EFF IT! SLATE

TIE - Miami at New England

I was not going to do it and just abstain, for I hate both these teams and they both fail me and I am not in the running, so screw it and screw those teams too. BAH!

:face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Tampa Bay

No way the fix is not in for that Major Tom via David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust and later Tim Tebow fame (see linked video, enjoy). Screw Major Tom Brady too though. BAH!
:rage:

Seattle

Because the Jets are the best at screwing it up right now. Plus Streveler might play and he's good, but we don't want him to be THAT good you know what I am saying?
:grin: :smiley_cat: :smiling_imp:

Green Bay

The Vikings are likely to poop the bed anyway, plus the fix is in for that self-enlightened Quarterback Funghi Assclown too. BAH!

Baltimore

The NFL wants Lamar Jackson to shine before the playoffs. He will too. I might watch for a bit, but it's likely to be another ugly edition of most matchups in that AFC North division.

Buffalo

This looks to me like the best game of the week and the playoff game before the playoffs. Both teams are still playing for that #1 seed! And both would love for the Chiefs to lose on Sunday, but with the visiting Broncos that is not happening so both will have to play even harder.

Corrected the typo. What is this, the word police?

I blame the EFF IT! SLATE for Week 17 I tell you.

White is starting for the Jets so unfortunately Streveler will likely only play if he gets hurt or in garbage time. I would love to see him get the start to see what he can do in a full meaningful game.

that’s such bullshit, Strevvy should be starting. it’s because it’s not a home game so they don’t have to worry about the home crowd booing White every play.

It is BS, but I think they like White. It’s Wilson they boo constantly.

I was thinking it would be the NFL version of the rouge. Puck goes through the end zone and it's a single.

Introducing a different type of scoring would influence my picks.

You have any suggestions?

Aside from the above stated "rouge" scoring play, they could also put targets at various places in the end zone. Cody Fajardo didn't get any points for hitting the crossbar but in this new game we could make it worth at least 2.

Oh I thought you meant for the draft.

I have long suggested two points for a doink since that’s harder than the shank that gets you one point on a FG attempt.

Technically Bungles is also the correct name because years before Joe Burrow arrived, even the locals and fans referred to them as the Bungles.

I know you don't give a puck, but that's facts Max.
