NFL 2016 Week 17 Playoff Projections

With Week 16 losses at JAX Jagoffs and NO Aint's respectively, Tennessee Tuxedos and TB Bucs ate their tickets to the playoff party.

In the NFC, TB has a very slim hope, a Motor City Kitty win at home in their winner take all match vs GB AND a G-men win at WAS. 


Given the latter is a meaningless game for NYG, who already have the #5 seed locked in, this is NOT a likely scenario for fans of the Pirates in Pewter Pants.  


But you never know, as one would have thought having sewn up the #1 seed, the Big D Pokes would have not risked injuries and taken Sunday night off vs the Lions?


In any event, a Redskins win over NYG and they are in at #6. A DET loss to GB and an unlikely NYG win make the Pontiac Pussycats a backdoor #6 seed.  


IMHO, the Sausage Packers win out at DET, while the Military Insects (GI-Ants) take a much needed week off, putting the screws to both TB and DET, by letting the Deadskins in the back door.


Elsewhere, to assure a week off with #2 seed the Hot-lanta Falcons need a win vs Aint's, as a loss could nest them at #3.  

Flipside, #3 SEA Squawks having squandered #2 win a home loss to ARZ, need a win at SF for any hope of the #2 seed.  The Phony Niners with their 2nd win of the year, both over the LA Lambs, just blew the #1 pick, and celebrated?


The AFC six pack is already set, just a small kerfuffle for positioning remains. To assure #1 seed, NE Minutemen must win at MIA Fish, who are locked in at #6. 

To assure #2 seed home field and week off, and have a chance at #1, OAK Raiders must win at the eliminated DEN Buncos, as a loss could be devastating. 


Locked up and taking the week off, PIT Steelers #3 and HOU Texans #4.  Big question is #5 and #2 seed, the current #5 seed is KC.  


With a Chef win at SD Dolts) AND a Raider loss at the Buncos, KC Chefs nab #2, while Da Raiders fall from grace to #5.


With one game to play, our picks with final record and seeding for the playoff 12 pack, and playoff predictions.
