Ladies and gentleman, it's time for the playoffs!Check that, it's not time for the playoffs, but it should be. In any other year, we'd be talking about the playoffs right now, but the Jon Lester Jersey decided to add an 18th week to the schedule this year, so now, you're getting an extra week of regular season picks. And since you're now probably wondering, yes, I do get a bonus for writing an extra week of picks, but it turns out I also lose 10% of that bonus for every pick I get wrong, and now that I'm saying that out loud, I probably need to fire my agent, which actually could get kind of awkward since I'd have to fire myself.Of course, even if I do fire myself, it wouldn't even qualify as the most and that's because that honor belongs to , who kind of got fired over the weekend even though he hasn't technically been fired yet. Look, if you're going to lose your job, you might as well do it while running shirtle s off a football field. Another angle of AB running off of the field shirtle s during a Bucs offensive drive. FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) I have never quit a job in my life, but if I ever do, I will definitely be doing it while shirtle s.I have no idea what's next for Antonio Brown, but I do know what's next for us and that's this weeks picks, so let's get them started. Actually, before we get to the Week 18 picks, here's a quick reminder that you can check out the weekly picks from every . The reason you should click over this week is because there's a tight race brewing for the title of best straight-up picker for the 2021 season. After going 14-2 in Week 17, I am now clinging to a two-game lead heading into the season's final week and as long as I don't collapse like a FedEx Field guardrail, I think I can take home the title.If you've never seen a FedEx Field guardrail collapse, this is what it looks like. Jalen Hurts almost got taken out Trei (@Trei_Cham) At this point, they should probably just tear the entire stadium Kerry Wood Jersey down. If your stadium is leaking sewage and almost killing opposing quarterbacks with falling guardrails, that's when it's time to get a new one. Alright that's enough stalling, let's get to the picks. Oh, and just to warn you, if I mi s every pick this week, it's because the final week of the season is always the most difficult week to predict and that's mostly because I have no clue who will be playing for either team. I have no idea which teams will be benching their starters, I have no idea if bad teams have mentally checked out and I have no idea why the haven't won in Jacksonville since 2014. None of it makes sense.Saturday, 4:30 p.m. ET (ESPN) Latest Odds: Kansas City Chiefs -11.5 If the want to have any shot at earning the top overall seed in the AFC, they have to win this game. On the other hand, Denver has nothing to play for except to maybe save Vic Fangio's job, but based on how this season has gone so far for the , I'd say that's probably not going to be enough motivation for them. has never lost to the Broncos and the Chiefs have won 12 straight games against Denver. I've made a lot of bad decisions in my life, but picking the Broncos to win will not be one of them. The pick: Chiefs 30-17 over BroncosSaturday, 8:15 p.m. ET (ESPN) Latest Odds: Dallas Cowboys -6 Picking games in Week 17 is basically a drunken crapshoot and if you need proof, just look at this game. I have no idea if the will be resting their starters and I have no idea if the will be resting their starters, which means I have no idea who's going to win. I also have no idea why the NFL put this game in the prime-time Saturday slot. I don't want to spend my Saturday night watching a glorified when I could be playing a drunken game of Boggle.If the Eagles win, they could move to the sixth seed in the NFC, but there's no guarantee of that because they'll only move up if the also lose. I can't read Nick Siranni's mind, which is weird because I took an online mind-reading cla s once. However, even though I can't read his mind, I do think the Eagles will Mark Grace Jersey end up resting their starters.As for the Cowboys, they're currently sitting in the four-spot in the NFC and even if they win, they would only move up if the or end up losing. If the Cowboys win and one of those teams lose, that will push Dallas up to three and Joe Maddon Jersey if they both lose, that will push the Cowboys up to the two-seed. Based on some math I just did in my head, I'd say there's about 50% chance that one team loses and a 5% chance that both of them lose and I think what I'm trying to say here is that I won't be surprised if the Cowboys rest their starters. That being said, the Cowboys have been in an offensive slump and I think they might end up trying to play their way out of it. With that in mind, I expect the Cowboys to rest all their injured players. To be clear, I think that means we'll see a lot of starters play, but the Cowboys will rest anyone who's banged up (Based on last week's injury report, that would be guys like , and ). I could also be completely wrong about all of this and they might let everyone play.Anyway, I just talked myself in circles trying to figure out who's going to win this game and after doing that, I'm still not even sure who I want to pick. If this game ends up being vs. , I like the Eagles, but if it's vs. or Dak vs. Gardner, then I like the Cowboys. I'm taking the Cowboys.The pick: Cowboys 26-23 over Eagles1 p.m. ET (Fox) Latest Odds: Cleveland Browns -6.5 If the Chiefs win on Saturday, the won't have any shot at the top seed in the AFC and if that happens, I have to think they'll rest Ernie Banks Jersey their starters and that's mainly because no quarterback has been beaten up more this season than . I mean, the guy got hit so often against the Chiefs that his name plate didn't even survive the game and let me just say that it is not easy to lose a name plate in an NFL game. I'm pretty sure I've seen more NFL players lose teeth than name plates. Chiefs have not stopped Joe Burrow, but they did get his name plate John Breech (@johnbreech) Through 17 weeks, Burrow has been sacked an NFL-high 51 times. To put that in perspective, there's only two other quarterbacks this year who have even been sacked 40 times ( and ). If you're wondering why I'm bringing this up, it's because I think the Bengals would be absolutely crazy to play Burrow in this game. If Burrow does play, I don't think he'll be on the field for more than a quarter or two, which will open the door for the to end the season with a win. Knowing the Browns, they'll try to close the door on themselves, but I still think they win. The pick: Browns 20-16 over Bengals1 p.m. ET (Fox) Latest Odds: Green Bay Packers -4 No game has me more confused in Week 18 than this one.The have already clinched the top seed in the NFC and
