Week 17: What the...
It's the end of 2005. We here at DC Sports would like to thank those who have read us since our fledgling days. Onward and upwards to 2006.
Yours truly has been under .500 for the last 2 weeks, but the Skins are 1 win away from the playoffs, so if I have to keep being under .500 each week for them to keep winning, I'll take that trade any day of the week. For the record, no fewer than 5 of these lines confuse the hell out of me. The Steelers opened as 17 point favorites, and I guess that there were a lot people betting on Detroit because the line has dropped to -14. Why are the Chargers favored by 11? Neither team has anything to play for. Why are the Chiefs favored by 8? It's not as though the Bengals wouldn't like to hold their seed. Why are the Bills only favored by 2? They just beat arguably a top-5 team (Bengals) on the road by 10 last week - and they can't give more than 2 points on the road at the Jets? Week 17. So freakin weird.
Week 17:
Broncos at Chargers (-11)
Even Mike Shanahan can't believe he has the AFC's 2nd seed with Jake Freakin Plummer as his QB... Pick: Broncos
Giants (-11) at Raiders
A Redskins win plus a Giants loss means the Skins are NFC East champs. I root for Oakland this weekend, sadly, I fear it won't be enough - even with 11 points... Pick: Giants
Dolphins at Patriots (-6)
Hey! We beat the Jets twice, Buffalo on the road, and freakin KILLED Tampa Bay at home in freezing weather. They have a combined record of 18-27! This week we'll beat ANOTHER warm weather team in cold weather at home! We're the BEST TEAM EVER!... Pick: Patriots
Bills (-2) at Jets
Easy... Pick: Bills
Saints at Buccaneers (-14)
Tempting... Pick: Buccaneers
Panthers (-4) at Falcons
I'm terribly angry with you, but I still can't go against you... Pick: Panthers
Ravens (-3) at Browns
Let's not get too carried away here, it's not as though Kyle Boller's doing this against top defenses... Pick: Ravens
Seahawks at Packers (-5)
Befuddling... Pick: Seahawks
Cardinals at Colts (-7)
Back on track... Pick: Colts
Bengals at Chiefs (-8)
Confusing... Pick: Bengals
Lions at Steelers (-14)
When's the last time the Steelers were favored by so many?... Pick: Steelers
Titans at Jaguars (-4)
Zzzzz... Pick: Jaguars
Texans (-2) at 49ers
The loser here is really the winner... Pick: 49ers
Redskins (-8) at Eagles
Steep, no?... Pick: Redskins
Bears at Vikings (-4)
Way to show up... Pick: Bears
Rams at Cowboys (-12)
Only because it would be so freakin sweet... Pick: Rams
Last Week: 5-8-2
Season: 115-115-10

Just watch the Falcons win now that it doesn't matter...no, wait. We haven't had back to back winning seasons in 40 years. Either way, we lose. Damn Falcons.
Yep. We lose. Way to show up Faulcons.
