By The Numbers: Week 13, 2017

What a game that was. Facing the 8-2 Steelers on the road, and Hundley puts on his best performance yet. He’s still no Rodgers, and there were still mistakes but managing to keep up with a red-hot team like that is impressive for a backup quarterback. I was impressed, but at the same time disappointed as we gave the Steelers too much time in the 4th quarter so they got into field goal range and kicked the winner. Had we not missed a long FG earlier in the game they would have needed more to win. Sad, but true. I have faith that the team can cobble together wins in the next two — we face the Buccaneers and the Browns, so we shouldn’t have too much issue there. Afterwards Rodgers just might be able to come back and lead us to the playoffs once again. He was on the field throwing balls this past weekend, so it appears that he’s on the mend and doing well, which is faster than expected and much like what happened back in 2013. Here’s hoping for his return and that playoff march. Let’s see how I did with my picks last week:

Vikings 30, Lions 21 – Correct
Cowboys 24, Chargers 14
Redskins 28, Giants 24 – Correct
Titans 21, Colts 13 – Correct
Eagles 27, Bears 10 – Correct
Panthers 31, Jets 16 – Correct
Patriots 30, Dolphins 20 – Correct
Falcons 27, Buccs 23 – Correct
Bengals 35, Browns 7 – Correct
Chiefs 23, Bills 21
Seahawks 30, 49ers 14 – Correct
Rams 21, Saints 20 – Correct
Jags 27, Cardinals 21
Raiders 28, Broncos 24 – Correct
Packers 27, Steelers 26
Ravens 26, Texans 16 – Correct

Only 4 missed picks this week, one of my better weeks overall. Really wish the Packers would have pulled the upset, but alas. Let’s see what’s going down this week:

Cowboys 21, Redskins 13
Vikings 28, Falcons 24
Titans 27, Texans 21
Chiefs 28, Jets 10
Dolphins 20, Broncos 10
