Gadzooks, campers-- It is Week 17, the last regular Sunday of NFL football action.

And even with my Boys in the playoffs, I am sad... that the season is over.

So, this final Sunday's regular action finds the Rebuilding since 1964 New Browns getting spanked by Crab City's Old Browns in hopes of my Old Dallas Texans beating the Bolts--

Sorry, big-- I'm pulling for the Lion Chops over your Pack here as I don't want another Ice Bowl in the future if things go as I hope--

Allegra's Texicans win over the Jags, giving her new hope for next season if they can find a friggin' quarterback!

My Old Dallas Texans discharge the Chargers as the Raven wish--

The 2nd Greatest Aggie NFL Quarterback gives Rex one final loss before he is fired as the Head Jersey Jet--

Da Bears, dead old Imp, get a win for you over the Viqueens--

Well, big, your resting Patty Cakes get skunked by the Bills--

Manning Lite has a ball putting the final nail in the Iggle's sorry season--

Cincy at the Stoolers, a useless game that nobody cares who wins--

Nawleans at Tampa, same song, second verse--

Young Lucky works out the kinks on Allegr's Old Earlers--

My Boys work up a sweat killing the Deadskins--

Cam leads his Putty Tats to a victory over the Black Byrds from Georgia--

Sorry, Seven-- Manning Heavy gets back in the saddle--

The Soapy 9ers give Jimbo a going away present and the Cards a headache--

The Ewes don't have a chinaman's chance against the Seahags-- Dangit!

Gadzooks, that's it, boys and girls... Now, get your picks in right away!

[Bender2]

Bendy says all of you better get your picks in... or we put the Fickle Finger here where the sun don't shine!

[Vinnie]

I think the Panther-Falcon game has moved to 4:00pm.
For drama I guess.

[doosee]

You think the Cincy at PItt game is useless with no one caring...hardly, the NFL put it into the prime 830 slot to feature it nationally. Decides the division from which likely 3 teams enter the playoffs. Go Steelers of course.

[big'ol_freeper]

Well Bend, hard to believe it's week 17 but here we are.

The Pigeons over the Brownstains
In an upset, sorry Bend, the Redspuds over the Cowgirls
The Folds over the Titians
The Texians over the Jagwursts
Bender's old Dallas Texans over the Charredburgers
The Tunas over the Toe-suckers
The Vicekings over Impy's Bearlies
The AFC East Champion, Home-Field-Advantage-Holding
New England Patriots over the Bill-folds
The Midgets over the Eaglettes
The Ain'ts over the Pirates
The Dirty Birds over the Punters
The Reigning NFC North Champion
Green Bay Packers will hold their title
over Local Yokel's Detroitistan Loins and
take Home Field Advantage (see Seathugs below)
The Mules over Seven's Traitors
The Fluffy Niners over the Buzzards

Ok, ok I can't pick the Lambs over the Seathugs (dammit) so Seattle gains Home Field Advantage with a win over the Lambs......

But you never know what gifts Santa Homie might bring
und
The Stool Piles over the Bungles

So there you have it, the 2014 NFL season

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Merry Christmas, Bendy!

You picked the Loins over the Pack...in GB...in December? Lordy, I’m feeling all flush with pride (wait, that could be a side-effect of my Cialis).

But, I can’t, even though I am a rigid Loins fan.
Pack by 10 on The Tundra.

Merry Christmas Bending Unit #2!

Yes, Cowpokes rope up some abos - then give Romo a rest.

I'd like to see a Dah-less vs Bah-stoned Stuporbowl.

That Wilson kid in C@et al does run a lot, shame if he got banged up.

[Rummyfan]

Merry Chirstmas and A Happy New Year to All My Freeper Football Fanatics! Last week of the regular season... Twelve teams will have games left to play after this weekend and the rest go home. Here goes with fearless predictions, Fickle Finger of Fate be damned!

Week 17

Sunday, Dec. 28

Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons, 1 p.m. One of these two will have a playoff game next week. From a basic talent perspective the Panthers are better and that will out Sunday. Panthers in the Playoffs! (works alliteratively so why not in reality?)

Cleveland Browns vs. Baltimore Ravens, 1 p.m. Now that they have just about thrown the playoffs away (with those losses against the Chargers and Texans), the Ravens will win at home against the hapless Browns when it's too late. Weren't we talking about the Browns in the playoffs recently? Seems like a long time ago....Ravens.

Detroit Lions vs. Green Bay Packers, 1 p.m. Lions have had a good December to date, but against the Packers at Lambeau? Packers!

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Houston Texans, 1 p.m. Texans are on a roll. Jags won last week yes, but the Texans ain't the Titans. JJ Watt and the Texans win!

San Diego Chargers vs. Kansas City Chiefs, 1 p.m. Philip Rivers. Alex Smith. I'll take Philip Rivers. Chargers!

New York Jets vs. Miami Dolphins, 1 p.m. Jets will find a way to lose and send Rex Ryan on to his next job in proper fashion. Phish!

Chicago Bears vs. Minnesota Vikings, 1 p.m. Two teams going in opposite directions so go with the team on the upswing. Interesting to see what happens to Trestman and Cutler following this final game of the season for Da Bears. Vikings.

Buffalo Bills vs. New England Patriots, 1 p.m. Win or lose the Pats have home-field for the playoffs. Still, Brady and Belichick will squeak it out. Patriots.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Giants, 1 p.m. Poor Iggles, 9 - 3 to 9 - 6.... How could you lose to the redskins? Oh right, Mark Sanchez! OTOH, Eli and Odell B Jr are white hot. In what I think is Tom Coughlin's last game as Giants head coach, they give him a proper send-off. G-Men win.

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Pittsburgh Steelers, 1 p.m. Great win by the Bengals last week but I am not ready to get on the Andy Dalton bandwagon yet. Big Ben has been fantastic and pedestrian by turn this year. Sunday I think he is fantastic again. Steelers win, win the division, and get a playoff home game.

New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 1 p.m. The Saints win this one which works out for the Bucs because they'll be able to draft Marcus Mariotta. 'Aints!

Indianapolis Colts vs. Tennessee Titans, 1 p.m. C'mon! Not even the good-bad Colts can lose this one. Colts!

Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins, 1 p.m. The Cowboys managed to lose to the woeful 'Skins in Big D. I don't think they make the same mistake again and they have been great on the road. 'Boys!

Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos, 4:25 p.m. Raiders have shown signs of life at home. But in Denver no such vitality, and despite Manning's struggles recently they will overcome. Broncos.

Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers, 4:25 p.m. Add the 49ers to that list of imploding teams(Ravens, Browns, Eagles, Bills...). Harbaugh's last game too. But...but... the Cards have no 'O'.... And the Niners won't collapse against the Cards like they did against San Diego. Niners win.

St. Louis Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks, 4 p.m. Seahawks are gonna beat the Rams like a rented mule. Like a red-headed stepchild. Like a dirty Persian carpet... Seahawks win and roll into the playoffs as the NFC Number One seed.

[Impy]

End of the line already? Why it seems like only yesterday my Bears had lost to Bills in OT in week 1, crushing my hopes for the season. Thanks for the threads, Bendy.

Indy will apparently play their healthy starters. I think even at home the Itty Bitty Titties are too lousy to pull the upset.

Alex Smith is OUT for the Chiefs, good news for the Sex Chargers but I was gonna pick them to win anyway.

Rex Ryan will leave this world the same way he came into it, naked and crying.

While the Pack and Lions play for the division the Bears and Vikes play to see who gets to be in the toilet. BTW little Jimmuh Clausen has a boo boo so he’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccckkkk, Suckler. Call me crazy but, the Vikes, while improving and showing heart, still stink, the Bears have been better on the road than at home where they beat the Vikes earlier this year, they get the win here. Not enough to save Trestbot and hopefully GM Emery’s jobs.

How many starters will Bellichek rest? I am tempted to call the upset but Pattie Cakes stay perfect at home.

The pressure is off so Eagles over Diet Manning and the slightly favored Lilliputions, Tom C’s last game in NY?

Ain’ts ain’t at home? Then they win over Lovie’s Somali Salami Smuggling Barbary Coast Bottom Boys, who finish 2-14, 0-8 at home and clinch the #1 pick.

Can the no Skins do it to Dallas again? No way.

Crab City Corvids beat the Browns, but miss the playoffs

Texicans over the Yugos

The NFC Suckth is on the line, zero confidence in this pick but my uncle’s Falcolns over the Fig Newtons at home, no repeat Champs in this division.

Denver should be able to beat the Raiders at home.

The Lions, haven’t won at Lambeau since Dec 15th, 1991. GHW Bush was President of the US, Saddam was President of Iraq. Obama moved to his wife’s hometown of Chicago. The Soviet Union had 10 days left to go. Close to zero % of people had home Internet access. And the # 1 song in America was “Black or White” by Michael Jackson. Packers get the bye.

The awful Linley was supposed to be out, but rookie Logan Thomas sucked so bad in practice that Coach Bruce Changed his mind, the 69ers are broken and stink at home, I know I’m nearly alone here but my Old Chi Cardinals get the W somehow, dagnabit, Harabugh leaves (any chance he doesn’t?) on a sour note. But the Cards still end up with a wild card because....

The defending Champs have no trouble with the Lambs.

And finally, Bungles/Stoolers, Meh, great choice, NBC. The stoolers have lost to THE BUCS (at home), The JETS (road) and the AIN’Ts (home). If they had taken care of business they’d be in the driver’s seat for the #1 seed. And the Bungles, they’re the Bungles. Maybe I’m nuts, Bungles win

A bloody Monday in the NFL.
