NFL picks week 17

Last week 2-2 (Season 3-4-1)

GREEN BAY
(-9.5) over Detroit
This line really is too good to be true. I'd take Green Bay at -16. The Packers have lost their past four games by four points or less and have been the genuine 'good' bad team all season. All the close losses and heartbreak of the season is going to come out with a decimation of the Lions. Lock of the season.

Seattle (+6) over ARIZONA
Love this line almost as much as the Packers line. The Cardinals have been terrible ever since getting edged by the Giants, and they've got nothing to play for here. The Seahawks on the other hand have been playing hard recently and will be keen to send Coach Holmgren out with a win.

Miami (+2.5) over NY JETS
It's all over for the Jets. What I see here in this game is the Dolphins getting out of the gates early - maybe a kickoff return for touchdown, or a Favre interception returned deep into Miami territory - then Pennington consolidating the lead, before the Jets make a furious comeback and fall just short. Take the Dolphins.

SAN DIEGO (-8.5) over Denver
The line definitely seems too high but I'm going with it anyway. The reason being that I just think Denver is a terrible team. They get blown out and they lose matches where they are the only team that has anything to gain. The Chargers defence isn't much chop, but Denver's might be the worst in the league.
