NFL PL Week 16 of 18, Playoff Week 1 of 4.. DL: Sat. 7th Jan @ 21:30 19:05 - Jan 2 with 642 viewsWessiehomesPete

MFB_CUFC puts the pedal to the metal with an 8-2 and 11 points. While there are still 28 points up for grabs, weeks 16-18, the holder looks to be in the drivers seat, even if he does steer his car from the wrong side ... I've done my usual floundering with poor consecutive weeks. Still holding on to a respectable 3rd place with BROMLEYU and THRILLSEEKER in close pursuit.

Reminder: this begins the first week of four, The Superb Owl playoffs. Points don't carry over. If you didn't participate this season, you're welcome to join for what the 'eck...

Major storylines for week 17 before the NFL playoffs, The Washington Redskins had their fate in their own hands. A win at home v the New York Giants would have given the Skins a playoff game, albeit at Seattle, an impossible place to win. The New England Patriots didn't skip a beat. Destroyed Miami. If I had to do an early wager I'd say Oakland at New England in the AFC and Green Bay at Dallas in the NFC title games in 3 weeks... I predict New England v Green Bay in the Super Bowl...

1 point each:
Baltimore 10 at CINCINNATI 27
Houston 17 at TENNESSEE 24
Dallas 13 at PHILADELPHIA 27
Buffalo 10 at N.Y. JETS 30
KANSAS CITY 37 at San Diego 27
ARIZONA 44 at Los Angeles 6

2 points each:
NEW ENGLAND 35 at Miami 14
Oakland 6 at DENVER 24
N.Y. GIANTS 19 at Washington 10
GREEN BAY 31 at Detroit 24

This may affect your prediction but The Oakland Raiders, even though they enter the playoffs with a lofty 12-4 record, are going through a quarterback carousel.

Dereck Carr broke his leg Christmas Eve v the Colts, and back-up Matt McGloin injured his trapezius muscle this past weekend in a loss to Denver. So Rookie Connor Cook is reported to be the starter at Houston, which would be the first time in history a rookie made his first start in a playoff game. We'll see if the Raiders have enough talent to overcome this development.
