Love the week 17 Drama

[shakedownstreet]

i forget every year until this week approaches that every week 17 game is an early game or late game. there's no thursday, saturday, sunday night, or monday games

 

i love it! all the final playoff positioning happens in about 7 hours on sunday. i assume that's why the nfl does it that way

 

detroit at green bay is gonna be HUGE. no one is talking about detroit

The AFC North will also come down to that day as well as well as all the NFC divisions. I agree. One of the best days of football.

yes it is. i LOVE the drama. things are nutty in the NFC. lot of good teams could still get left out. arizona is the only NFC team guaranteed a spot at this point

 

atlanta @ new orleans this week could very well decide that pathetic division

[Moncrief]

I think Buffalo actually takes a spot from one of the AFC North teams.  Of course Buffalo is going to have to play lights out against NE and have a myriad of other things take place.

wouldn't it be hilarious if atlanta@new orleans ended in a tie!

It'll be really interesting this year with all these wild cards duking it out in the AFC and so many different possibilities in the NFC too, including that NFC South BAMFs intrigue.

How the heck would that end up being seeded?

[GoPats]

I try to avoid all of the "playoff clinching scenarios" until the final week... just gives me an ice cream headache, lol...

 

Week 17 is shaping up to be a great one though. Still so much up for grabs. I'd like to see the Patriots beat NY and the Bengals knock off Denver this week for a little breathing room in the final week but don't think that'll actually happen!

which is kinda nice for us since the Colts and Pats have already clinched. Makes week 17 and little more stress free.

Colts do want to be the 2 seed as oppose to the '4'

...They do need the last 2 games

if the both pats & broncs win this week, we can do no better than third. both teams hold the head to head tie breaker

True but both NE and Denver are on the road...they better watch out!
