The 49ers held on to their lead, so the 11-5 Seahawks will have to travel to the 9-7 Eagles next week. Remember when it was doubted that the Eagles could win their last four games despite those four games being against the crappy NFC East?

If I remember my picks for week 17 correctly, I finished with a record of 11-5. I doubt that was good enough to lift me into first place in the prediction league, but it should be enough to remain at least in the top 3. The games I got wrong were:

MIA@NE - The Patriots had something important to play for, so there was no way that I would pick against them against the lowly Dolphins.

CHI@Vikings - This was the game where I didn't consider that the Vikings may rest their starters. I was thinking that they would use this as a "get right" game before the playoffs, plus the Bears have a broken offense. In any case, I regret this one.

CLE@CIN - The Browns had to play for honor. Turns out they have none, plus the Bengals had already secured the #1 draft pick, so they had nothing to lose by winning.

NYJ@BUF - Yeah, yeah... the Bills were locked into their seed, but this too was one of those picks where I considered the visiting team to be too crappy to win.

IND@JAX - Both teams didn't play well in the second half of the season, but the Jaguars had been so rubbish. I had no faith in them whatsoever.

EDIT: Stupid auto-tagging of usernames on VGC that doesn't appear until after posting. Hopefully nobody on this site calls themself 'Vikings'.

You won. I think I went 7-9.
