Greg Cote's Week 17 NFL picks

We carded a solid 12-4 mark straight-up last week and rolled a marginally decent 7-8-1 against the spread, with the Eagles win by nine the push for the tie. Had Titans with the points in our Upset of the Week ("Aawwk!"), and also had 'dog Seahawks with points. This season has been a struggle for us. A month ago we feared setting career lows both overall and ATS, but a strong finish may have dodged those bullets as we head into the all-Sunday final week of the regular season. We're now comfortably above our overall season low of .573 in 2008. It's still a crapshoot, though, against the Evil Betting Line. We are right at .450. Our career low is .449, set in 2006. So it all comes down to this week. Roll on, big finish!
