Week 17 always brings us the best idea the NFL has ever had, and the only one that most fans were totally ok with: every game is a division game. It’s been the rule since the 2010 season, and I hope they never change it.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

In the AFC, New England and Pittsburgh will be either the 1 or 2 seed. I can’t see the Jets beating the Pats today unless the Pats want a repeat of the 2015 season where they took their foot off the gas near the end and allowed the Broncos to steal the #1 seed, and we know what happened to the Pats then. 3 & 4 are the Jags and Chiefs respectively, and nothing changes that for them win or lose. The last 2 spots will be either the Ravens, Titans, Chargers, or Bills.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I don’t see a scenario listed where both the Chargers and Bills get in, but I’d like to see one of them do it.

In the NFC it’s way simpler. 5 teams are in (Eagles, Vikings, Rams, Saints & Panthers) and the Seahawks and Falcons are fighting for the last spot. After the Falcons collapsed in the Super Bowl, I think I’d rather see the Hawks get in.

So today while I catch up on laundry, on CBS it looks like I get to see Jets at Pats early and of course the Chiefs at Broncos late. On Fox I get Bears at Vikings early (WHY?) and Panthers at Falcons late.

What scenarios are you hoping to see play out? I want the Steelers to have the #1 seed so that the Pats have to go there, and I’d kind of like to see the Chargers get in. The most appropriate ending for this dumpster fire of a season would be the Rams and Chargers in the Super Bowl because NO ONE wants that. Even Los Angeles.

All I want to know is whether Black Monday will be pushed back a day for the holiday. Looking forward to moving on from Fox.

Gotta find a place in Charlotte that will allow me to watch the titans disappoint me.

I really like John Fox, he’s a good guy. But yeah, it didn’t work at all in Chicago.

Nah, right when he came to Chicago he spent a lot of time stalking a friend of mines GF, trying to convince her he had an open marriage.

True story.

Wow, I’d never have guessed. I guess you never can tell with some people.

Me either, but the whole thing was ludicrous (and yeah she DID give him her phone number and told my friend, so she was no prize either).

I know I’m hoping against hope especially being a Bears fan, but I hope the Bills make the playoffs.

Season ends with Blair Walsh missing a field goal. A fitting end.
