Strong showing across the board with everyone finishing in double digit points this week, and BDT edging out D.O. for the gold medal spot on the podium. No significant movement on the points or wins season standings otherwise heading into the final week of regular season football.
5 point game: Commies +13
3 point game: Panthers +6
Notables:
Week 18 is a gambling shit show with odds shifting to reflect post-season focus for several teams, resting starters etc.
Mason Rudolph’s Steelers playing to stay alive in the wild card race; Baltimore likely to rest starters
*- *Texans and Colts both 9-7 and playing for wild card spot, and division title if Jags lose
Bucs playing for division title and wild card spot; Panthers can only lose draft position with a win
*- *Bengals eliminated from playoffs, Browns likely to rest starters
Lions effectively locked in at the #3 spot with nothing to gain from win, Vikings on the bubble
*- *Nothing at stake in NE vs NYJ besides not losing to a shitty division rival
*- *Both ATL and NO on the bubble and fighting for survival
Jags playing for a wild card ticket, Titans long since eliminated
Seahawks on the bubble, Cards can only continue to sabotage their draft position with another win
*- *Packers win punches their playoff ticket, Bears have lost 9 straight to GB - Chiefs resting starters, Chargers somehow favored
*- *Bottom dwellers clash in the desert, game of no consequence for either Denver or Vegas
Eagles looking for a strong tune up game and NFC East title on the line so expect to see Hurts & co.
*- *Both Rams and Niners have secured post season spots, backups will battle it out at the bay
Cowboys suck on the road but not enough to lose to apathetic Washington with a division title on the line
AFC East title match Sunday night. Fins are in (and highly suspect), Bills need a win to secure their postseason spot.

Cowboys suck on the road but not enough to lose to DC with a division title on the line
AFC East title match Sunday night. Fins are in, Bills need a win to secure their postseason spot
Lions not locked into 3. If Dallas and Philly lose, Detroit wins still get the 2nd seed. Philly with that def. coordinator will lose, so if somehow Washington rises up… Its very slim but both games are late Detroit is early, so Detroit will be playing for the win.
Sunday early:
*Bucs *at Panthers (3pt) Browns at Bengals
Vikings at Lions Jets at Pats
Falcons at Saints
*Jags *at Titans
Sunday late:
***Seahawks *at Cards

Sunday night: Bills at Dolphins
Going against my typical picks of picking mostly underdogs due to it being the last week of the season, and thinking a lot of players have checked out.
more so, I think the NFL players on eliminated teams have checked out. They either 1) dont care anymore, 2) are playing for stats. - This one may matter on things like players going for more INT or sacks rather than playing their assignment.
One of my favorite days of baseball season is the last day. So many of the players are swinging at everything. An average baseball game is around 160 mins. On the final day of the season its around 130.
Sunday early:
*Bucs *at Panthers (3pt) Browns at *Bengals *
Vikings at *Lions *
**Jets **at *Pats *
Falcons at *Saints *
*Jags *at Titans
Sunday late:
*Seahawks *at Cards
Bears at Packers *
Chiefs atChargers * Broncos at *Raiders *
*Eagles *at **Giants ****** **
Rams at *Niners * Cowboys at Commies (5pt) — AND THE LIONS TAKE 2nd Place… okay this is HUGE reach, but when your at the bottom… what do I have to lose.
