NFL Week 17 Picks by Cooper the Analyst and Cup of Joe in the D

       HAPPY NEW YEARS and a Holiday Season . The 2023 NFL Football Season is down to the final 2 weeks and teams are jossling for Playoff seeds. On Thursday we saw the Browns cruise by the Jets and solidified a Playoff spot.. On Saturday we saw a great game between the Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys that ended once again but a bad Officiating calls that cost the Lions a victory and also the #2 seed in the NFC Playoffs. 

      The NFL needs to immediately find a way to fix the issues it has had all year long with its Officiating of games. Last night was the 3rd time this year that the NFL Officiating crew with Brad Allen as Referee cost of team a win with a blown call. The blown call last night cost the Detroit Lions the #2 seed in the NFC and possibly the #1 seed as well. All year long the Officiating has been putrid at best..

     The NFL continues to screw over its Fans by now putting all TNF on Amazon Prime and also now with NFL Playoff games just so the greedy Owners can make more money at the expense of the Fans!

     Each year, every team and their fans are optimistic that this will be their year to win the Super Bowl. There are the contenders and the so so's and the pretenders after Week 16. Contenders this season will be in the AFC: Chiefs, Dolphins, Jaguars and Ravens.  In the NFC: 49ers, Cowboys, Eagles and Lions. Up and Coming Teams are the Rams, Packers, Browns and Texans. The pretenders will be:Vikings, Cardinals, Bears, Broncos, NY Giants. So so Teams are:NY Giants, Chargers, Raiders, Commanders, Bears, Patriots, Broncos,Titans, Panthers and NY Jets. Biggest disappointing teams so far this season are the Los Angeles Chargers and Cincinnati Bengals and Atlanta Falcons.
