I went 8-7-1 last week. Unfortunately, I was never able to battle back from a slow start to get over .500 on the season. Good thing I don't do this for real.

Week 17 is a tough one because you never know who is going to play and who isn't. That is probably why there are so many games that don't have lines right now. I will pick the straight up winner in those games.

Here are your week 17 picks:

Tampa Bay @ Atlanta

NY Jets @ Buffalo -3

Baltimore +2 1/2 @ Cincinnati

Chicago -3 @ Detroit

Houston @ Indianapolis +7

Carolina @ New Orleans -5

Philadelphia @ NY Giants -9

Cleveland @ Pittsburgh

Jacksonville +4 @ Tennessee

Kansas City +17 @ Denver

Oakland @ San Diego

Arizona +17 1/2 @ San Francisco

St. Louis +11 1/2 @ Seattle

Green Bay @ Minnesota +3

Miami @ New England -11

Dallas +3 @ Washington
