So of course the poll is tied for how to conduct postseason predictions as of the time of this post. As a result, I'm leaving the poll open for one more day. If we're still tied after tomorrow, I'm making an executive decision. Additionally, for those of you who want a playoff, if nobody volunteers to take my (and whoever my potential opponent would be) predictions for a playoff format, I'm choosing just standard predictions.
Also I'm getting this up early as a result. Consider it my very late Christmas present.

Not a ton to say here; very positive week overall. The Saints' and Packers' losses tripped nearly everyone up (because I guess we still have confidence in Green Bay for some reason). Minnesota's choke job also hurt most people, and nearly everyone else got at least one wrong somewhere else. TheGoldenBoy and Chris Hu both posted the top mark of the week at 13-3, which means...

TheGoldenBoy is the VGChartz 2018 NFL Prediction League winner! Congratulations!
TBG was the only member to break 170 wins for this season. Here's how his 171-85 record stacks up against past winners (that I'm aware of).
2012: insomniac17: 177-79
2013: burninmylight: 172-84
2014: MTZehvor: 178-78
2015: Farsala: 166-90
2016: FatedReality: 169-87
2017: burninmylight: 174-82
Speaking of burninmylight, his fourth place finish is, to my knowledge, the best finish of any defending champion (although the league was admittedly much smaller this year). Should a playoff system be implemented, he, cycychris, Level1Death, and TGB would all receive byes through the second round.
Rol's ability to fix MNF games (and my own inability to correctly read how our picks differed) allowed him to claim the #5 seed on tiebreakers. Meanwhile, Chris Hu broke the tie with XD84 for the seventh spot by virtue of his strong week (although he was set to win the tiebreaker anyway). Additionally, everyone but Angelus (who appears to have disappeared) would qualify for the playoffs if we went that route.
Please vote in the poll if you haven't already, and once again, congratulations to TheGoldenBoy! Thanks to everyone who participated this year.
