We all knew this day would come, and it never gets any easier. The end of the regular season. We’ve got a very limited amount of football left. It’d be easy to look at this week’s slate and say that a lot of these games mean nothing, but outside of the couple of games with playoff seeding implications, there’s also quite a bit of jockeying for draft position left to be determined with so many bottom-feeder teams. Let’s take a look:
Some Notes
NFC South Title – Buccaneers are win and in. The Falcons need a win + a Buccaneers loss.
AFC Wild Card – The Bengals upheld their end of the deal yesterday with a win over Pittsburgh. They need a Dolphins loss/tie + a Broncos loss to get in. Miami gets in with a win + Denver loss. Denver is win and in.
NFC 1 Seed – Of course, the biggest game of the day, Minnesota @ Detroit. Winner takes the one seed, loser gets a road game in the wildcard round.
Draft – If you’re a bad team, you want to lose today. There are 4 teams with 3 wins and 4 teams with 4 wins. A victory today will cause a significant drop in draft position. Lose wisely.
Bonus: Week 17 Results
Week 17 was pretty good:
