From the Data to the Super Bowl - Week 17 Picks and Games to Watch

Week 17 Predictions: 

The last week of the season is likely one of the most difficult to pick. With some teams calling it quits, others protecting their stars for playoffs, and other still with lots on the line. This year is not to be outdone with star players making returns and others injured.

For those new to reading my analysis  go back and read the early entries on the method.

Notes:

1. Yes I love numbering things. Stop mocking me. Didn't the fact I run stats on sports give away my love of numbers.

2. I decided to spice it up and compare to a Canadian sports writer - Bruce Arthur and his picks for week 17.

3. Games to watch: DET/MIN, WAS/NYG, GB/CHI (Obviously), PHI/DAL (Yes i know...no brainer). 

4. Some teams have lost some major players or called it quits for the year/saving for the playoffs. There is still lots on the line so I doubt any team is really that willing to lose. 

5. Let the Playoffs begin!!
