Pretzel’s Picks Week 17

Carolina Panthers by 7 at home over the New Orleans Saints

The Panthers seem to be playing for John Fox’s job.  With the Saints resting their stars I expect the Panthers to take this one easily.  Carolina by 14.

Cleveland Browns by 1 at home over the Jacksonville Jaguars

This one we have 2 teams going in opposite directions.  The Browns have won 3 in a row and the Jaguars have lost 3 straight.  Browns take this one by a touchdown.

Dallas Cowboys by 3 at home over the Philadelphia Eagles

The Cowboys have actually managed to put together a couple of wins in December which automatically have all “experts” putting them as Superbowl champs and proclaiming all their late season woes behind them.  I am not convinced.  The Eagles have won 6 in a row and will make it 7 today.

Tennessee Titans by 6 at the Seattle Seahawks

This game we get to see if Chris Johnson can over take Eric Dickerson.  I predict he will get to 2000 but not quite to 2105.  Tennessee takes it by 14

Eliminator

For my eliminator this week I will take the Vikings over the Giants.  With everything to play for last week the Giants laid an egg against the Panthers.  I can’t imagine how bad they are going to play this week with nothing at stake.
