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

         HAPPY HOLIDAYS FOOTBALL....  It is Week 17 of the 2024 NFL Season !!! Cooper the NFL Analyst is Back for His 8th Season Picking Games! Christmas Day kicks off with 2 games showcasing the KC Chiefs at the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Houston Texans hosting the Baltimore Ravens. Thursday night kicks off with the Seattle Seahawks traveling to Chicago to face the Bears in a must win game for the Seahawks. Biggest Game of the weekend is the Packers at the Vikings.. Injuries especially Concussions have been a huge issue in the first 13 weeks of the season with many star players out with numerous ailments and injuries.

      The NFL made 3 huge changes to the game this year. first they changed the kickoff to a stupid format which is a joke, second they outlawed the way players have tackled for decades and third teams can only try on on sides kick in the 4th quarter and only after they let the other team know they are going to try an on sides kick.. The NFL once again also screwed over its Fans by now putting Games only on Netflix and Amazon Prime and Peacock and now ESPN+ just so the Owners can make more money at the expense of the Fans! 

     Officiating has been poor at best the past few seasons and it seems that  replay is being used on almost every other play. Will this be the Season where the NFL Officials get it right or will we continue down the slippery slope of Officials costing teams games like the have the past few seasons?

A Huge Shout Out to My Surgeon, Dr. Daniel Sullivan, who is a Great Guy and the Biggest Bills Mafia and Buffalo Bills Fan.....

     Cooper has picked the Super Bowl Champion the last 3 years in a row.

     Each year, every team and their fans are optimistic that this will be their year to win the Super Bowl. There are the contenders, the so so's and the pretenders. Contenders so far this season will be in the AFC; Chiefs, Bills and Ravenss.  In the NFC; Lions, Vikings and Eagles. Up and Coming Teams are the Vikings, Commanders, Packers, Ravens and Broncos. The pretenders will be; Jaguars, Panthers, Colts, Raiders, Patriots, Browns, Saints and Giants. Surprise teams are: Steelers, Vikings, Commandeers, Chargers, Broncos and Rams. Biggest Disappointments are the Falcons, Cowboys, 49ers, Bengals
