It’s the final week of the season and the NFL’s experiment of making it all divisional games has yielded us exactly one truly meaningful “the one for all the marbles” game. And that’s… Rams vs Seahawks? Yep, what most would have picked as an early favorite for Top 5 worst games of the year is actually the best game of Week 17. Maybe it’ll end 4-2 and make history.

This week, we’ll see which of the 4 experts wins the Locks of the Week contest for the season.  Also, this is the last week to brush up on your regular season betting prowess before the playoffs next week.  Before you know it, we’ll all be eating 3000 calories, actually paying attention to commercials and putting cash on completely ridiculous (yet absolutely compelled to throw money at)  Super Bowl prop bets like “which Black Eyed Pea will sell out hardest” and “whether the Super Bowl MVP is gonna thank God, the fans, or his psychiatrist first.”   Dammit, I can’t wait.    Don’t worry too much that most of the games this week are useless, just consider it a hungover appetizer for the real games.

The featured games this week are Bucs at Saints, Giants at Redskins, Bears at Packers, and Rams and Seattle.

Two weeks to either get into the playoffs or go plan those tee times.

We blaze through the lesser games and focus on the ones that affect the playoff race.

The featured games this week are Jets at Bears, Niners at Rams, Giants at Packers, and Saints at Falcons.

That’s right. No podcast this week. Why? Because the rest of the panel couldn’t take Ryan farvrelating Tom Brady for 20 minutes as he picks New England over the Jets. Or maybe we had some technical and skill difficulties and just mailed it in like the Cardinals did last week.

No Mr. Anderson, nothing funny at all about that, sir.

Also not funny were Ryan and Vin’s record against the spread last week despite a very good straight up showing. This week we’ll try to not shame ourselves as NFL prognosticators. Lucky Week 13 NFL Odds courtesy of betus.

Time to celebrate that great American pastime: gluttony!  Despite a slate of bad matchups, turkey day is always a great day for football.  The featured games this week are New Orleans at Dallas, Green Bay at Atlanta, Tampa Bay at Baltimore, and San Diego at Indianapolis.

The Playoff race isn’t exactly heating up yet but the pilot light is on. This is the week where pretenders start falling by the wayside. Lose your 5th or 6th game this week and you’re almost out of the playoffs. Unless you’re in the NFC West where 6-10 could win it.

The featured games this week are Packers at Vikings, Bills at Bengals (small market love), Colts at Patriots, and Giants at Eagles.
