2017 NFL Week 17 Picks Against The Spread

Rather than Thursday's in the Loo, it's time for NFL Football picks in the toilet.... putting that content down loading time to good use?

A brief review of week 16. How did we do? 9-7. 
With a four game lead over the nearest professional paid "expert", we hope to close out the regular season on a high note.  

Shaking our head in utter disbelief while Moving West... shall we continue to utilize a double headed wooden nickel in making our selections? Perhaps...  

That's life, that's what all the bookies say, you're ridin high pre game, shot down by late Sunday....
