NFL Week 17: December 27th – January 2nd, 2023

New York Jets at Cleveland Browns | Thursday Night Football

Thursday, December 28th, 2023 at 8:15 PM
Cleveland Browns Stadium | Cleveland, OH

Both teams have their quarterbacks. The Browns believe Deshaun Watson is the answer under center. The Jets feel Aaron Rodgers will lead them to the Super Bowl.

The winner might come down to defense. The Browns will have the top defender in the game on their side in Myles Garrett, but the Jets have the better overall defensive team. J-E-T-S gets the nod.

Detroit Lions at Dallas Cowboys | Saturday Night Football

Saturday, December 30, 2023 at 8:15 PM
AT&T Stadium | Arlington, TX

Here’s another game between two teams that most project to have very good offenses. The difference between the two will be on the defensive side where the Dallas Cowboys boast two of the best defenders in the NFL in Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence.

However, even though the Boys have the better defense, Detroit’s offense could be unstoppable. Also, the Lions have a slight edge at quarterback with Jared Goff. Detroit gets the nod.

New England Patriots at Buffalo Bills

Sunday, December 31, 2023 at 1:00 PM
Highmark Stadium | Orchard Park, NY

Like last season, Buffalo is one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl. Also like last season, most don’t expect much from the New England Patriots.

Ah, but Bill Belichick hired former Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien to get Mac Jones up to speed. O’Brien will accomplish his task, which is why the Pats are the pick.

Carolina Panthers at Jacksonville Jaguars

Sunday, December 31, 2023 at 1:00 PM
TIAA Bank Field | Jacksonville, FL

Two of the best young quarterbacks in the NFL throw down in what should be an interesting game. Carolina will battle for a playoff spot.

The Jaguars, though, could end up with home field in the AFC Playoffs. Jacksonville has talent on both sides of the ball. By week 17, Cam Robinson will be back in the fold, so quarterback Trevor Lawrence lights up the Panthers secondary.

Miami Dolphins at Baltimore Ravens

Sunday, December 31, 2023 at 1:00 PM
M&T Bank Stadium | Baltimore, MD

Dolphins versus Ravens should be a great matchup. Unless Tua suffers another injury, Miami will field one of the league’s better offenses.
Baltimore should have a much improved offense now that Lamar can throw to Odell. The Ravens defense will be one of the better units in the league. Baltimore gets it done.

Los Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos

Sunday, December 31, 2023 at 4:25 PM
Empower Field at Mile High | Denver, CO

This game could come down to coaching. Bolts’ head coach Brandon Staley struggles making the right call.

Denver head coach Sean Payton is one of the best to ever roam the sidelines. So if this game does come down to coaching, the Ponies win.

Cincinnati Bengals at Kansas City Chiefs

Sunday, December 31, 2023 at 4:25 PM
GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium | Kansas City, MO

Kansas City versus Cincinnati has become of the league’s best non-division rivalries. KC is the favorite to win it all this year.

But Patrick Mahomes and the offense lost their starting left tackle from last season. Orlando Brown Jr. is one of the best LTs in the NFL. Orlando now plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. Brown steps it up in this game and Joe Burrow and Co. pull off the upset victory.
