Blogger Deathsport: Week Seventeen Picks


This is it

Update 20 Feb 2008: final results, only seven weeks later. Curly R went 10-5-1, good for second place, and we won the whole thing. Final weekly results here.

Blogger Deathsport: NFL Pick'em comes to a conclusion with week seventeen picks. Your host holds a six game lead going into the final week, check Post Game Heroes, TexSkins, Skin Patrol and CommonPrejudice for other picks. (The shame of pity: Dagger and Skin Patrol could not get it up a seventeenth time)

Saturday
NE (-13.5) @ NYJ
Pick: Giants. This line shrunk a whole point, this week I am just following the money.
Result: Giants. This was a great game and fuck the NFL (Network) for trying to put cable over a barrel.


Sunday
STL @ ARZ (-6)
Pick: Rams. This line shrunk a point.
Result: Cardinals. This was a bloo out for the Cards.

SEA @ ATL (EVEN)
Pick: Seahawks. This line shrunk two points but you don't need to be Jimmy the Greek to figure this one.
Result: Falcons. This was a bad call, the Seahawks sat a bunch of guys, I hate picking in the last week.

CAR (-3) @ TB
Pick: Panthers. This line got a half point bigger but this one bothers me.
Result: Panthers. Mall Moore and Luke McCown, wow bring on the playoffs.

CIN (-2.5) @ MIA
Pick: Dolphins. This line shrunk a half point and also bothers me.
Result: Bengals. Nobody had anything on the line and there was not much defense.

SF @ CLE (-12)
Pick: 49ers. Chucking the money line on this one. The Browns ain't 12 points better than nobody.
Result: Browns. Funny, they actually were 13 points better.

DET @ GB (-5)
Pick: Packers. Because the line got a point bigger and I think the Packer backups are better than the Lion starters.
Result: Packers. Rolling into the playoffs, at this point they had no idea they would lose to the Giants.

JAX @ HOU (-6.5)
Pick: Texans. This line got 2 and a half points larger. The Jaguars are going to be deadly in the playoffs.
Result: Texans. The Jags sat a bunch of people, wow look at me I called one right.

MIN (-3) @ DEN
Pick: Broncos. This one opened with no line but I think the Vikings tank.
Result: Broncos. Both teams are sympathetic.

NO (-1.5) @ CHI
Pick: Bears. This one also opened with no line, I think the Saints season ended last week.
Result: Bears. Kyle Orton is teh mang.

KC @ NYJ (-6)
Pick: Chiefs. The line shrunk a half point, two bad teams.
Result: Chiefs. Oh Tannenbaum.

BUF @ PHI (-8)
Pick: Bills. The line is unchanged and the Bills are playing well.
Result: PUSH. No winner no winner.

PIT (-3) @ BAL
Pick: Steelers. Baltimore is just done.
Result: Ravens. Brian Billick still got fired.

SD (-8.5) @ OAK
Pick: Chargers. The Raiders are loljocks.
Result: Chargers. I was wrong about Norv...this year.

TEN (-5) @ IND
Pick: Titans. They need to fight hard to get in.
Result: Titans. Correction, they needed to fight hard and cover to get in.

DAL @ WAS (-9)
Pick: Redskins. IT IS ALIVE.
Result: Redskins. A glorious ass whipping of star proportions, fitting for Joe Gibbs' last regular season game and last win as Redskins head coach. Thank you Joe.


Final results Monday in February.


End of the road from here.
