Greg's 2022 NFL Picks: Week 17

 Another mixed bag for me. I went 6-6 in the spread and 9-5 in the victory column. What really did it for me was Christmas Day. I bombed all 3 games played that day. But I recovered a little bit with a Thursday Night push (Push is a win for me). That brings the tally to:

Points: 97-75

Victories: 143-85


Colts @ Giants (-5.5): Giants too well coached to overlook a team. They will win and clinch a playoff berth. 

Points: Giants     Victory: Giants


Saints @ Eagles (-5.5): The Saints are a mystery to me. I think the Eagles will win by 7,. even though they are resting people

Points: Eagles    Victory: Eagles


Broncos @ Chiefs (-12.5): THAT'S NOT WHAT HE WANTED TO COOK!

Points: Chiefs     Victory: Chiefs


Bears @ Lions (-6): Don't really know about this one. Let's see if the Lions can rebound after a shocking loss. I think they do, but I think I will take the Bears with the points.

Points: Bears     Victory: Lions


Jaguars (-3) @ Texans: Trevor moving on up. Give me Jacksonville

Points: Jags    Victory: Jags


Panthers @ Buccaneers (-4): I want to pick the Panthers so badly, but I feel some mischief afoot to get Tom Brady back into the playoffs. I will split the difference.

Points: Panthers    Victory: Buccaneers


Dolphins (-2) @ Patriots: PICK'EM! Don't think Teddy is a huge downgrade for Miami given their offensive structure. I think New England's time has run out.

Victory: Dolphins


Browns @ Commanders (-2.5): PICK'EM #2!  I'll go with Washington being more desperate.

Victory: Commies


Cardinals @ Falcons (-5.5): Ridder vs. David Blough. Yawn

Points: Falcons    Victory: Falcons


49ers (-9) @ Raiders:  Niners will continue to roll against a Raiders team in transition.

Points: Niners    Victory: Niners


Jets (-2) @ Seahawks: PICK'EM #3! Think Mike White is the key factor in energizing the Jets and keeping them alive. Seattle has stagnated and I don't think there is a jolt there.

Victory: Jets


Vikings @ Packers (-3): Nobody fights harder than an animal with its back against the wall, and that is what Green Bay is. Don't know if the Vikings have the enthusiasm for this one. I will go with Green Bay

Points: Packers    Victory: Packers


Rams @ Chargers (-6.5): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No home field advantage for either. Rams, with Baker Mayfield, have been playing a lot better. Chargers have just clinched a playoff spot so I don't know how up they will be for this game. I will take the Rams.

Points: Rams     Victory: Rams


Steelers @ Ravens (-2.5): PICK'EM #3! Pitt is still alive technically, but I think Baltimore uses the veteran saavy to bring this one home and eliminate the Steelers.

Victory: Ravens


Bills (-1) @ Bengals: PICK'EM #4! I think the loss of La'el Collins will prove costly here. The Bills will pressure Burrow hard. I think the Bills win a tough game and stay alive for a 1 seed.

Victory: Bills
