Week 17…Playoff drama!

The last week of the NFL season brings lots of drama as the final spots for the super tournament are filled…

Will Chad Pennington return to NY, knock the Jets out of the playoffs and win the division for a Dolphins team that won one game last year?  Will Dallas beat the Eagles and finally make the playoffs after starting the season as the favorite to reach the SB?  Can the Vikings overcome inconsistency and beat a NYG team at home that has nothing to play for? Will the Bears go on the road and beat an improved Texans team, then have help from the Giants?  And what will the blood feud brewing between the Chargers and Broncos give us on Sunday night in a winner take all game in SD?  This is what we love about the NFL, great stories, if not great games, every week…

And rookies have played a huge role on some of the best teams in the NFL this year…

Matt Ryan has led the Falcons to the playoffs and looks like the best rookie QB to come out in years. Atlanta can win the division today, the second best turnaround story, only Miami has come farther…

Chris Johnson leads the #1 AFC seed Titans…and all rookies in rushing…

Joe Flacco has the Ravens on the brink of the playoffs and can get there Sunday with a win…

Matt Forte has been the heart of the Bears offense and if he has a big game in Houston, they have a chance…

My picks for the big games today, Miami over the Jets, Dallas over Philly, Minnesota beating the Giants, Houston holding off the Bears, SD over Denver, NE over Buffalo….Baltimore beats Jacksonville…Happy New Year!!
