JO_75
Hall of Famer
Week 17 is here, and the final two weeks is upon us as playoff spots are being clinched and there are playoff spots yet to be clinched. In fact, of all 32 teams in the league, 24 teams remain in the playoff hunt in the final two weeks. The NFL schedule makers lucked out as this week provides plenty of good games that have heavy playoff seeding implications. With the whole AFC South losing last week, it really opens the door for any of the three teams to win in the final weeks. In fact, it may come down to which team has the healthiest QB as the status of Trevor Lawrence and CJ Stroud are still unknown this week. The Lions who clinched the NFC North last week, head to Dallas for a Saturday Night Showdown with heavy playoff seeding implications. So much drama this week.... so let's get into it!
