Gary’s Week 17 Selections

Gary’s “Pick 6” NFL Selections

Houston Texans (+3.5) over Kansas City Chiefs – As noted most weeks, the Chiefs are somehow squeaking by, but they’re not as good as their record indicates. We’re taking the Texans here as QB Patrick Mahomes has a sprained ankle. PICK: Houston Texans

Detroit Lions (-6.5) over Chicago Bears – Detroit is 12-2, losing last week to Buffalo. Chicago has lost 8 straight games. The Bears last win was in London, in October, over the Jaguars. Geez. PICK: Detroit to cover easily

Los Angeles Rams (-3) over New York Jets – This is more of a gamble against the Jets than it is for the Rams. PICK: L.A. Rams

Buffalo Bills (-14) over New England Patriots – Buffalo’s defense has been really bad the last two weeks, allowing over 40 points both times. Not this week. New England will feel the wrath of Coach McDermott. PICK: Buffalo

Indianapolis Colts (-3.5) over Tennessee Titans – Tennessee is turning away from QB Will Levis and turning to Mason Rudolph. PICK: Indianapolis

Arizona Cardinals (-3.5) over Carolina Panthers – Carolina has been playing decently lately, but they’re still the Panthers, and they’re only getting 3.5 points. PICK: Arizona

Gary really needs to make some progress here over the remaining few weeks of the regular season. Notice Gary’s theme this week was picking on the NFL’s worst teams. Picking against the Panthers, Bears, Jets, Patriots, and Titans, as well as the overrated Chiefs. I like where your heads at Mr. Goombah. Let’s go “Gut”!
