Week # 17 Recap:
Prediction: Bears 24 Lions 13 Win – This was a lot closer than the Bears wanted, but thanks to the Vikings, the win meant nothing because Da Bears are out. And to think I was irked when my beloved Broncos traded Cutler away…
Prediction: Jaguars 21 Titans 20 Loss – This was a Tennessee ass Whoopin! It may have cost the Jags Head Coach his job too.
Prediction: Colts 27 Texans 24 Win – Is anyone going to pick Houston next week against the Bengals??? Be careful…..
Prediction: Raiders 20 Chargers 17 Loss – The Bolts did their best to mess that game up and just about gave it and Norv Turner’s job away at the same time. Time to clean house in San Diego. Rumor on the street is that ex Eagles HC Andy Reid is heading to Oakland….in the words of the all universe linebacker Tom Jackson – Bring it on Fat Man!!
Prediction: Seahawks 34 Rams 13 Win – The Rams put up a good fight, but Russell Wilson is too talented.
Weekly Total: 3 – 2. Total for the Year: 50 – 35 (not good)
Watch for the Chipper’s Top 5 – Playoff Edition later this week.

The Bulletin Box
And that’s the end of the regular season in the NFL…and what an end it was. Not only were there some really exciting games that were played that determined the playoff seedings, there were was an extreme amount of excitement and tension for the prizes that eventually did and didn’t get awarded in PSG.
First of all, a huge round of applause goes out to the 20 of you that won the PSG $50 6-Pack prize. Everyone likes to see their name in lights, so here they are:
White Tee: arhedia17, billy, brian, broncofan, chrisgizzy, codysmith, golfking2005, HowBoutThemGilas, jets2436, JKW, jlew, Leeny and SchaeferMan. On the Blue Tee: Annie, Bantam12, Deerhunter, Eagle, Riley, Seahawk and Spartan. Congratulations to all of you!!! The checks are in the mail today. That concludes the weekly 6-Pack Game, but stay tuned as there may be some other clever idea in the works!
Ok, here we go the final hole of the round for 2012…the 18th. This is a par 5 so remember that it plays into any tie-breaking calculations. This hole is different from the first 17 we’ve played. It’s an aggregate of how you do starting with next week’s Wild Card Games all the way through the Super Bowl. There are a total of 11 games that you will pick. The 4 WC games will be presented and you will have the ability to pick the 2 games on Saturday independent of the 2 Sunday games. This is just like how you could just pick the Thursday games without having to pick the rest. The following week, you’ll do the same thing with the Divisional Games. Then the following week, you pick the 2 Conference Championship Games and after that – The Super Bowl.
You’ll need to get at least 9 of the 11 correct to get a Birdie or better for those that are competing for the end of year prize. I have tallied up the under par scores through 17 holes and on the Blue tees, there are 3 of you with 3 Birds or Better and 6 of you with 2 Birds or Better. On the White Tee, there is a run-away train as one player has 6 Birdies or Better and no-one can catch them. These prizes will be awarded at the conclusion of the 18th Hole.
Now for the drama that was the PSG 2nd Chance Survivor Pool. There were two entries going into the final regular season week and both of them took the one of only 3 home teams that lost – New Orleans! Rumor on the street is that one of them originally decided to take Pittsburg and then at some point must have changed their minds and went with the Saints instead…
Be sure to check out the new “From the Stands” feature on the home page of PigSkinGolf where you can put up some smack, do some braggin or set up some side stuff. Whatever you do, it’s a cool way of communicating with the other players.
Be watching for the end of the round survey from Survey Monkey asking some very simple, but important questions about this unique game.
That’s all for now, Happy New Year to all of you from PigSkinGolf and thank you very much for playing.

The Chipper’s Top 5
The final week of the NFL Regular Season is upon us. This will be the last installment of CT5 for the year. Use this well as there is a log jam on top the Leaderboards for the regular games and the final 6 holes. Also, don’t forget that this is a par 5 and it factors into the tie-breaking system. Also, make a note that the Cowboys – Redskins game will be used as this week’s Monday Night game for the tie-breaking process. Good Luck.
Chicago Bears (9-6) vs. Detroit Lions (4-11)
To keep their playoff hopes alive, the Chicago Bears must win. And they will. Jay Cutler will operate against the overrated Detroit defense, and the Bears will hold their breath.
Prediction: Bears 24 Lions 13
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-13) vs. Tennessee Titans (5-10)
The Jaguars gave the Patriots a game. Both these teams suck and may be getting new head coaches this offseason. Chad Henne and company finish off 2012 on a high note and in the most Jaguars-like move ever, the team will actually win in Week 17.
Prediction: Jaguars 21 Titans 20
Houston Texans (12-3) vs. Indianapolis Colts (10-5)
Colts Win!! Colts Win!! Colts Win!! Head Coach Chuck Pagano will be on the sidelines for Indy, so look for his players to give it their all.
Prediction: Colts 27 Texans 24
Oakland Raiders (4-11) vs. San Diego Chargers (6-9)
The Raiders D has been playing relatively well of late and the Black and Silver want to avenge the earlier loss in Oakland. The fans (about 37) in San Diego want to see a home team loss for two reasons: to maybe say a final farewell to Head Coach Turner and to improve their draft position for 2013. Yawner….
Prediction: Raiders 20 Chargers 17
St. Louis Rams (7-7-1) vs. Seattle Seahawks (10-5)
The Seahawks are most definitely “the team no one wants to play” while playing lights-out defense. The Rams have a decent defense themselves, but Seattle is where teams go to get beat.
Prediction: Seahawks 34 Rams 13
