Week 17 is tricksy, folks. Some teams aren't playing for anything and may sit their starters. Vewwy, vewwy intewesting.

It is funny you should mention meaningless games for teams that play each other that are out. I forgot what game one sports pundit was describing this past weekend but called it "The Futility Bowl". That gave me a laugh.

Here's the week 17 predictor for meaningful games, if you're interested.

Currently tied for first place (not counting the Wisdom of the Crowd) with Brian's mom. Though if the Seahawks maintain their lead against the 49ers and the Packers beat the Lions I'll leap ahead.

I have clinched first place out of the "real" players! Brian's mom can tie with me at the top with a Lions win.

Wisdom of the Crowd clinches first place overall.
