The sun is shining, the day is Wednesday and my blog is early. Weird. The common thread of these final weeks is "who wants it more?" Most people will say "I do" before considering what "it" is. I just want to stop all the wanting.
TENNESSE @ JACKSONVILLE
The Jags should get out of the way of their "rivals" from Nashville just so the Texans don't default their way to the AFC South.
MINNESOTA @ GREEN BAY
The Pack has nothing to lose and yards to gain on a tired Minnesota defense.
ARIZONA @ SEATTLE
Seattle is already in the playoffs, and Arizona is already not. The Seahawks, despite having a GB-shaped bruise, are still who we thought they were: NFC North champs. They need to stay focused on the task at hand, which is pretty easy for this team at home.
SAN FRANCISCO @ LOS ANGELES
This week on Loser Bowl: So-Cal Edition: We have a spectacular, horrendous game where everybody loses and the points don't matter. Being the first winnable game for either team in a long while, I think it stays close throughout, as players try their darndest to stay out of the CFL.
DENVER @ KANSAS CITY
Even new, unique, horsehoes won't fix the Broncos' running problems. Remember the Titans?
DETROIT @ DALLAS
Tate ≠ OBJ, Stafford > Eli, EZ-E vs. Ziggy. The comparisons between the Lions and Giants are fairley straightforward. I think they get back to their winning ways after a few tough weeks.
NEW YORK GIANTS @ PHILIDELPHIA
The Giants still have plenty to lose, the Eagles are just plain tired of losing. They have spotted a silver lining in Lane Johnson's shadow, but I don't think he can stop the playoff bound from doing what they do.
MIAMI @ BUFFALO
Matt Moore looked pretty good in his highly-anticipated return, and I think he's capable of the same this week. He's 32, a free agent in 2018 and deserving of many props for performing well when called upon. Houston could have saved themselves 70 mil if they wanted a decent backup.
NEW YORK JETS @ NEW ENGLAND
This registers a 2 on the Bristol-Stool scale.
SAN DIEGO @ CLEVELAND
Maybe a loud 3?
WASHINGTON @ CHICAGO
Fun Fact: Bears boil their potatoes before mashing them. Only certain types, mind you.
ATLANTA @ CAROLINA
Go with the flow, Luke. Your mind matters more than this game does. Julio Jones should be well rested and ready to get back to work on the road. I don't expect it to be easy, but I do think the Falcons eek this one out.
INDIANAPOLIS @ OAKLAND
Indy seems like a prime candidate for mattress of the week. While Oakland has their ticket punched, Indy has no path. Neither team seems interested in playing much defense. The way this year has gone, Oakland will get a play or two from Kalil Mack and seal it.
TAMPA BAY @ NEW ORLEANS
The fairy dust is finally on the floor. The fans are all clapped out. The Bucs are still quite dangerous, but I think they lost some serious swagger in Dallas. The worst good team won't be able to regain it quickly enough to beat Brees in the Superdome.
CINCINNATI @ HOUSTON

The Titans could use some help. Make Week 17 great again.
BALTIMORE @ PITTSBURGH
Game of the week, every time it's played. A truly capable defense will be tasked with stopping the three headed hydra that the fantasy projectors were all abuzz about during the preseason. Le'Veon put me on his back a' la Greg Jennings and carried me into the finals of my fantasy league. Apologies to anybody who had to watch that from the wrong side. He should have had 4 doh.
