Good evening, everyone! Today I want to discuss which picks I got correct and which ones I got wrong! So, let’s get started! I predicted that the Falcons would beat the Cardinals 25-22, but the final score was 20-19 Falcons over the Cardinals. The Falcons went down the field to kick a game-winning field goal. The Cards 4^th and 1 call on a shotgun was the back burner on Kliff Kingsbury. David Blough looked pretty good despite a loss. They were playing more under center and that was good to see. Clearly it was not enough to win the game. I predicted that the Giants would beat the Colts 27-10, but the final score was 38-10 Giants over the Colts and they have clinched their playoff berth for the first time since 2016 which was 7 years ago. I predicted that the Chiefs would beat the Broncos 49-17, but the final score was 27-24 Chiefs over the Broncos. I predicted that the 49ers would beat the Raiders 34-17, but the final score was 37-34 49ers over the Raiders in overtime. The 49ers kicked a game-winning field goal after the niners defense forced a turnover during overtime. I predicted that the Seahawks would beat the Jets 27-20, but the final score was 23-6 Seahawks over the Jets. I predicted that the Chargers would beat the Rams 29-13, but the final score was 31-10 Chargers over the Rams.

I predicted that the Bengals would beat the Bills 30-24, however, the game was cancelled because the player for the Bills on defense Damar Hamlin went down when his heart stopped beating out of nowhere. No one ever saw that coming. The NFL did not resume the game this week as the Bengals were up on the Bills 7-3. I don’t think that there was no winner in the game, but I am going to assume that the Bengals won so, I may have gotten that pick correct.

I predicted that the Dolphins would beat the Patriots 28-23, but the final score was 23-21 Patriots over the Dolphins in a bad breaking loss for the Dolphins. They needed to win that game. I predicted that the Eagles would beat the Saints 38-20, but the final score was 20-10 Saints over the Eagles in a big upset. No one expected the Eagles to lose to the Saints, but yeah, that was a big loss for the Eagles because some teams like the 49ers and the Vikings are still fighting for the number 1 seed and Philly has to win tomorrow against the Giants. I predicted that the Panthers would beat the Bucs 24-21, but the final score was 30-24 Bucs over the Panthers. Mike Evans absolutely went off by catching 3 touchdown passes from Tom Brady all of them were deep passes. I predicted that the Commanders would beat the Browns 25-17, but the final score was 24-10 Browns over the Commanders. I predicted that the Vikings would beat the Packers 23-20, but the final score was 41-17 Packers over the Vikings in a blowout. I predicted that the Ravens would beat the Steelers 24-23, but the final score was 16-13 Steelers over the Ravens.

So overall, I have gotten 7 out of 13 picks correct!! Now, let’s get to the NFL week 18 picks, the last week of the season!!, shall we?! The first game I will predict is the Bucs @Falcons game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Bucs will beat the Falcons 28-13. The next game I will predict is the Pats @Bills game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Bills will beat the Pats 31-16. The next game I will predict is the Vikings @Bears game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Vikings will beat the Bears 34-14. The next game I will predict is the Ravens @Bengals game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Bengals will beat the Ravens 27-20. The next game I will predict is the Jets @Dolphins game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Dolphins will beat the Dolphins 30-23. The next game I will predict is the Browns @Steelers game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Steelers will beat the Browns 33-21. The next game I will predict is the Giants @Eagles game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Eagles will beat the Giants 35-24. The next game I will predict is the Cowboys @Commanders game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Cowboys will beat the Commanders 31-17. The next game I will predict is the Chargers @Broncos game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Chargers will beat the Broncos 37-21. The next game I will predict is the Rams @Seahawks game, the divisional rivalries. I think the Seahawks will beat the Rams 38-25. The next game I will predict is the Cards @49ers game, the divisional rivalries. I think the 49ers will beat the Cardinals 38-13 because the Cards team is really banged up on offense and defense and the 49ers have something to play for and they are healthy, and they are not going to take it easy on the Cardinals. The last game I will predict is the Lions @Packers game, the divisional rivalries on Sunday Night Football. I think the Lions will actually beat the Packers 27-24.

So, what are your thoughts about the NFL week 18 picks?! I would love to hear lots of comments, thoughts, opinions, questions, or concerns down below!
