2007 NFL Week 17

New England Patriots at New York Giants

Eddie - - For the 16th time – I’m saying the Patriots.



Fred - In 2007, an NFL team goes 16-0 during the regular season. Congratulations in advance New England.

Buffalo Bills at Philadelphia Eagles

Eddie - The last game of the season can sometimes be tricky because teams want to go out on a good note. I think the Eagles will want this game more.



Fred - Philly’s at home. They get the “W”.



Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins

Eddie - The Bengals have a lot of soul searching to do this off-season and it starts with this game.



Fred - Cincy ends the season on a high note and destroys the Dolphins.



San Francisco 49ers at Cleveland Browns

Eddie - A “bounce-back” game would be appropriate for the Browns. Cleveland needs to win and they will.



Fred - Browns have something to play for and the Niners may not have Shaun Hill at QB. Browns win.



Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers

Eddie - Not only was Kitna wrong about his 10 win prediction but they’ll lose the last game of the season as well.



Fred - Packers make up for their pathetic play last week and crush the Lions.



Carolina Panthers at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Eddie – I know a lot of the Bucs will be resting but Carolina just can’t seem to get it together.



Fred – Bucs reserves against Panthers starters…hmmm. Since it’s in Tampa, let’s go with the Bucs. Upset pick #1.



Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans

Eddie – The Jaguars are just too strong and the Texans can’t/won’t be able to match up.



Fred – Jags are also resting their starters. Andre Johnson gets 150+ receiving yards and the Texans win.



Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons

Eddie - It will be important that Atlanta comes out with this win. There will be a lot of players playing for a spot on the 2008 Falcons’ roster.



Fred - Only a 1 point spread in the Falcons favor. Let’s flip and coin and see…it’s heads so Falcons win.



New Orleans Saints at Chicago Bears

Eddie – Saints need this more than Chicago does.



Fred – Due to weather conditions the Saints can’t handle, the Bears barely win. Upset pick #2.



St. Louis Rams at Arizona Cardinals

Eddie – I expect a lot of offense in this game especially from Jackson.



Fred – Bulger, S-Jax, Holt and crew run up the score and outscore the Cardinals. Upset pick #3.



Minnesota Vikings at Denver Broncos

Eddie – Playing for pride in mile high; Watch out Minnesota. You are about to step into a death trap.



Fred - 30th Run defense against the best running offense…wow! Peterson and Taylor run all over the field, but the Denver pass offense also has a great game. Vikings win in an extremely close game.



San Diego Chargers at Oakland Raiders

Eddie – I imagine Oakland will be playing a lot of different people so that inconsistency will be the cause of the loss.



Fred – JaMarcus gets the start and the Chargers defense has a feast. Chargers win.



Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens

Eddie - Something is clearly not right with the Ravens and they’ve become extremely unpredictable.



Fred - As I’ve said each week, Ravens S-T-I-N-K! They’ve lost the last 9 games and will lose this one too.



Kansas City Chiefs at New York Jets

Eddie - Chiefs win big and big enough where Edwards gets to keep his coaching job. Unfortunately.



Fred - The Chiefs have lost the last 8 games of the season, and since Herm doesn’t deserve a Head Coaching job in the NFL, the Chiefs lose.



Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins

Eddie - Redskins are finding their groove and it’ll be just enough to inch into the playoffs.



Fred - The Cowboys have nothing to play for while the Skins do…and the Skins are at home. Easy pick.



Tennessee Titans at Indianapolis Colts

Eddie – The Colts won’t be the same without their superstars playing.



Fred – The Colts starters aren’t playing the entire game so the Titans win.

2007 NFL Week 16

2007 NFL Week 16

Thursday, December 20 2007

Pittsburgh Steelers at St. Louis Rams

Eddie – STEELERS
Steelers are out of the bad weather and have lost two straight. It’s time to get back to winning.

Fred – STEELERS
The Steelers are still going after the AFC North title. The Rams are going after…uh…nothing. After losing the last two weeks against two great teams (Pats and Jags), the Steelers get an easy “W” in St. Louis.

Saturday, December 22 2007

Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers

Eddie – COWBOYS
Simpson or Underwood won’t be in Carolina so that means the Cowboys will win.

Fred – COWBOYS
Okay, TO didn’t go off last week, so that’s two weeks in a row that he’s stunk. Not going to happen this week. TO gets 2 TDs and the Cowboys rout the Panthers.

Sunday, December 23 2007

Kansas City Chiefs at Detroit Lions

Eddie – LIONS
Okay Lions… enough is enough. Where is that fire power we witnessed at the beginning of the season?

Fred – LIONS
The entire Detroit offense is due for a great game. At home, they pummel hapless Chiefs.

Oakland Raiders at Jacksonville Jaguars

Eddie – JAGUARS
I’ve been saying this from early on – watch out for those Jags.

Fred – JAGUARS
No Jags make the Pro Bowl team + The Raiders without Fargas = Jags vengeance and a severe Raiders beat-down

Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts

Eddie – COLTS
Colts are looking for this win so they can try and clinch the 2nd bye and home field advantage until the conference championship.

Fred – COLTS
I’m now a believer in Sage. But, can he beat the Colts in Indy? No, but Houston gives Indy a slight scare.

Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals

Eddie – BENGALS
This isn’t the year where the Browns win the division.

Fred – BROWNS
The battle of two teams with great offenses, and awful defenses. My gut says the Bengals upset the Browns, but the Browns are in the playoff hunt. Let’s go with Browns...but, it’s a close one!

Philadelphia Eagles at New Orleans Saints

Eddie – SAINTS
The Saints are just looking too good as of late. The Eagles played a hard game last weekend and I’m not sure they have enough to take out the Saints in New Orleans.

Fred – EAGLES
How can offensively, the 5th best, and defensively, the 8th best team in the league be 6-8?!?!? The Saints have been on fire, but this is the week they get cooled down by those 6-8 Eagles. Upset Pick #1!

New York Giants at Buffalo Bills

Eddie – BILLS
Usually the Giants fall apart at the end of the season and guess where we are – the end of the season.

Fred – GIANTS
How can offensively, the 3rd worst, and defensively, the 4th worst team in the league be 7-7?!?!? The Bills have somehow found ways to win. The Giants get a playoff berth with a “W”. So, even without Shockey, they find a way to win.

Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears

Eddie – PACKERS
Favre and Co. need this win and besides we all know Favre is a Bear killer.

Fred – PACKERS
Good or bad weather…it doesn’t matter. Packers continue their dominance in Chi-town.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at San Francisco 49ers

Eddie – 49ERS
Call it a hunch but the 49ers will win this game.

Fred – BUCCANEERS
Shaun Hill has a much tougher challenge this week against the 3rd best defense in the NFL. He should continue to spark the Niners offense, but the Bucs are still playing for playoff positioning. They easily take care of the Niners.

Atlanta Falcons at Arizona Cardinals

Eddie – CARDINALS
If you can’t beat the Falcons it’s time to regroup and take your team back to the college level.

Fred - CARDINALS
Since it’s in Arizona, let’s go with the Cards. The news of Parcells joining the Falcons organization hypes up those Falcons so this game is really close.

Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots

Eddie – PATRIOTS
Miami is the last team to beat New England. But – not this year.

Fred – PATRIOTS
Can Miami go on a two game winning streak? LOL…not against a team that has a 22 point spread against them!

Baltimore Ravens at Seattle Seahawks

Eddie - RAVENS
I don’t have a clue what’s going on with the Ravens but if they lose this game it will be 9 straight.

Fred - SEAHAWKS
Ravens stink. Billick and Boller need to get the axe. Seahawks offense gets its act back together and put up 30+ points in the win.

New York Jets at Tennessee Titans

Eddie - TITANS
No comment.

Fred - TITANS
Pennington doesn’t win games (except for barely beating Miami in Week 3). It appears Haynesworth is playing for Tennessee. Easy pick here.

Washington Redskins at Minnesota Vikings

Eddie - VIKINGS
Vikings are just too hot right now.

Fred - VIKINGS
Vikings have won the last 5 games, their running game is unstoppable and their defense has really stepped up. The Redskins are 2-0 with Todd Collins at QB. This one is a really close one with the home team pulling it out.

Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers

Eddie – BRONCOS
The Broncos can’t make the playoffs so they are playing for their season. I call this Redemption Revenge.

Fred –CHARGERS
In Week 5, in Denver, the Chargers crushed the Broncos. Under the big Monday night lights, in San Diego, the Chargers should easily repeat that same performance.
