Pick Commentary
Week 17 picks are always a bit more risky causing me to withhold Mac Daddy suggestions, but even with the unpredictability of Week 17 I still like these two. New England is now the number 1 ranked team by the system and doesn't have a history of taking weeks off. Minnesota had reason to and badly wanted to win last week in Chicago too.... are we adjusting spreads by 9 points for home field these days? Mac Daddy also wanted to throw out the following picks for some possible side action.

A Few Fun Favorites
DALLAS -3 vs Philadelphia, CLEVELAND -1.5 vs Jacksonville, Chicago -3 at DETROIT
