Cowboys (-3) at Giants
Pick: Cowboys-3
Analysis: The Giants have looked terrible recently. On the other hand, the Cowboys are looking solid. They just beat up on the Eagles and they want to give themselves a shot to win this division. Cowboys show up and beat up on the Giants and easily cover.
Washington Football Team (-1.5) at Eagles
Pick: WFT-1.5
Analysis: I had to cover this game second to not get the Cowboys’ fans’ hopes up. They aren’t allowed to win the division. Just won’t happen. They aren’t that lucky. Washington finds a way to beat the Eagles on the road behind the strength of their defense.
Packers (-5.5) at Bears
Pick: Bears+5.5
Analysis: The Bears Offense has looked great recently. They will be at home and play inspired to ruin their rivals chance at the first round bye. Bears likely lose this game in a close one but they manage to cover against Aaron Rodgers and co.
Cardinals at Rams (-1)
Pick: Rams-1
Analysis: Not so hot take, the Rams are better without Jared Goff. I don’t know what John Wolford brings to the table but he can’t possible be worse than Goff has been recently. The Rams need to win this one and their defense shows up and forces a couple Kyler Murray turnovers to get the job done.
Those are my NFL Week 17 Predictions! These are the most intriguing games to watch for me. Most other games feature one team resting the majority of their starters, or a team that has no business being in the playoffs.
