NFL Picks, Week 17

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (14) throws a pass during the second half of an NFL football game as offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (77) blocks Cleveland Browns' Myles Garrett, Sunday, in East Rutherford, N.J.

As always, the winning team is in caps.

Miami Dolphins at BUFFALO BILLS – I like how Miami is playing. But Buffalo looks really good right now.

BALTIMORE RAVENS at Cincinnati Bengals – The Ravens will win. Right?

Pittsburgh Steelers at CLEVELAND BROWNS – I haven’t checked to see whether all the Browns who missed last week’s game due to COVID are back. So this might not be my best pick.

Minnesota Vikings at DETROIT LIONS – Tough to take either of these teams seriously.

New York Jets at NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS – Hasn’t been the best year for us Pats fans. But you know what? It’s been a good two decades. I really can’t complain.

Dallas Cowboys at NEW YORK GIANTS – Can the G-Men pull out a final win over a gritty Cowboys team? We’ll see.

Atlanta Falcons at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS – How big a lead will the Falcons blow this week?

GREEN BAY PACKERS at Chicago Bears – Packers will win. Right?

Jacksonville Jaguars at INDIANAPOLIS COLTS – Colts should roll.

Los Angeles Chargers at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS – Will Chiefs repeat as Super Bowl champs?

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS at Carolina Panthers – An upset wouldn’t surprise me. But I’ll go with the Saints.

TENNESSEE TITANS at Houston Texans – Texans have disappointed me this season. It seems like they should be better than they are.

Las Vegas Raiders at DENVER BRONCOS – The Raiders will complete their second half collapse.

Arizona Cardinals at LOS ANGELES RAMS – My confidence in the Cardinals evaporated last week, when they lost at home to a limp 49ers team.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS at San Francisco 49ers – I meant what I said about the 49ers being limp.

WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM at Philadelphia Eagles – I could see either team completely blowing this, which pretty much sums up the state of the NFC East.

Last week’s results:

Me: 12-4, Overall: 160-79-1

Ken Schott: 11-5, Overall: 159-80-1
