NFL Week 17 Preview

This is the last and best week in this NFL season.  At least 13 games have some level of playoff implications. All of the division championships in the NFC are up for grabs. I could spend time
dissecting every division, but you really want to know who is going to win. So let's get down to it.

The NFC West will be won by the Seahawks. They will wake up on the road against the Rams.
Offensive lines woes withstanding, Quarterback Russell Wilson will have a respectable game and
win by less than 10 points.
 
The NFC South will be won by the Carolina Panthers. Even without Steve Smith, Quarterback
Cam Newton will win comfortably against the Falcons. Atlanta is coming off a short week after
playing on Monday Night. Having a devastating loss in the final minute should take the starch out
of Matt Ryan and company. Panthers defense should hold Falcons to under 20 points. 

The NFC Central will wind up in the hands of the Chicago Bears. The Packers are too beat up to give them a strong game. As of now, Aaron Rodgers, Eddie Lacy and Clay Matthews are all questionable
at best. Rodgers will not be sharp after missing so much time. Bears ran into the Eagles and could not do anything offensively to stay in that game. Jay Cutler will play better this game and win  going away. This game will be decided by 7 or more points. Brandon Marshall will have over 100 receiving yards.

The best match of all is the nightcap. The Eagles and the Cowboys.  Romo (Maybe) against Foles.
Murray vs McCoy. Bryant vs Jackson. This game has the marquee attractions and the weakest defense in the league. Factor in the most innovative offense in the NFL with the best rusher
in the game this season.

The line open with the Eagles favored by 3. If Romo doesn't go, the line could go to 7 or 8. Eagles should win by two touchdowns. Dallas defense must create turnovers to stay in the
game.

Best Team that doesn't get in the postseason.  Arizona Cardinals
Teams that are likely to go one game and out.   New Orleans Saints and Cincinnati Bengals
Team nobody wants to play.  New England Patriots
Non quarterback game changers   Wes Welker, Jamal Charles, Marshawn Lynch
