The leaking vagina that is the spam forums has spilled all over our beloved NFL threads.

For those from spam reading this, most of which don't know the difference between a corner and a safety (god, idiots!), this is the last week of regular season football. There are 3 weeks of playoff football and then 1 superbowl. It'll all be over by february, promise. With that said, you can stop reading here as the rest of this post will be about shit you couldn't care less about.
I'm making this now because I'll be out the next couple of days and it'll be hard to find time to make it.
So it is week 17 and there are about 30 teams that can still capture a playoff spot. Huge games, the biggest of which would be depending on the region you live in or the team you root for. Obviously I think the Jets vs dolphins is the biggest game. Playing for the division, Favre's last game (possibly), Pennington back in the meadowlands, Miami's huge turn-around, etc and so-on. Anywho, the picks!
St. Louis at Atlanta - Congrats on the playoffs Atlanta. Best of luck with finding a new job Haslett.
New England at Buffalo - New England has no chance in hell of losing this game with a playoff spot on the line.
Kansas City at Cincinnati - KC has secretly been playing really well. Kind of sneaky good the past few weeks. Looking for KC to have a big week and *hopefully* save Herm's job.
Detroit at Green Bay - Can I pick Detroit again? I guess I will. This is my farewell gift to Marinelli. Stand up guy.
Tennessee at Indianapolis - The only thing that can make this game remotely interesting is seeing Vince Young throw for 500 yards in a losing effort. Is he going to play since he's second string? I really want to see him get out on the field.
NY Giants at Minnesota - Yay, a somewhat relevant game. Coughlin says he's playing his starters and I honestly believe this is true. Super intense coach and his team already has 1 week off. Possibly afraid 2 weeks could cause a little rust. I see the g-men ruining minnesota's hopes at a playoff spot.
Carolina at New Orleans - I could actually see nawlins winning this game, but I think Carolina is going to just run all over that team. Brees is going to throw close to 50 passes I'd imagine. He needs 400-something yards I think? I hope he breaks it.
Cleveland at Pittsburgh - Pitt has the 2 seed clinched right? I'd imagine they'll rest some starters, but I don't think it'll really matter. Pitt should win this game.
Oakland at Tampa Bay - Tampa is just going to destroy Oakland. Farewell Tom Cable.
Chicago at Houston - I'd say Houston in any other week of the season, but Chicago is going to see the Giants roll the Vikings and play inspired football. Chicago takes the North.
Jacksonville at Baltimore - Jacksonville seems to be a popular pick among some analysts. I have no idea why as the Ravens are going to steam roll the Jags.
Washington at San Francisco - Washington is on the decline and the niners are on the upswing. Congrats on your new job Singletary, I hope you turn it around.
Miami at NY Jets - My stone cold homer lock of the century...of the week. Miami cannot play in cold weather...wait...they can put up 40 in -10 degree tempeture. If anything, this Miami team is disciplined. They may be the most disciplined team we've ever seen. They are going to break the record for the fewest turnovers in a season. That's just absurd for a team that just gave away game after game after game last season. I said at the beginning of the season when the Tuna started chopping head off (like Taylor), that we should trust him no matter how absurd it looks. He proved again why he's the most brilliant football mind in the history of the league. Dolphins win.
Dallas at Philadelphia - Another great game. Nothing would surprise me in this game. Dallas could lose by 30 or Dallas could win by 30. Neither would be surprising. I just don't know which Dallas I'm getting or which Romo I'm getting. I'm going to take Dallas even though their and his December history tells me not to. I think they'll steal it and actually *gasp* go to the playoffs and win a game.
Seattle at Arizona - Wisenhunt better play every single one of his starters for every minute of this game. After this past week, they should be fucking ashamed to even be a football team. Get your morale up and fucking destroy Seattle at home, it's the only thing that may salvage some hope come playoff time.
Denver at San Diego - I think it was 2 weeks ago that I said the Chargers were going to win the division. After the KC game actually. What happened in KC proved two things. God is alive, and God hates Mike Shanahan. Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong for Denver and San Diego is starting to click, again, at the right time. Dangerous dangerous team in the playoffs. That really sucks for Indi. That is going to be, easily, the best opening round game.
