NFL 2011 - Betting Lines - Picks To Win, Versus the Spread and the Over/Under: Week 17

Welcome to the 2011 season finale!  It's been a great year for football and an even better year for my NFL picks!  I've correctly guessed 160 games out of 240 giving me more wins and a higher win percentage than the entire ESPN NFL expert panel and also the Inside the NFL on Showtime NFL expert panel.  I'm so far ahead, in fact, that it would take my worst week of the year in week 17 for any of them to catch up. :-)  I'd say it's been a pretty successful first year of picking every game of the season in the NFL for me in 2011.  I'm proud to say that I had no week this year under or even at .500 and finished a week as high as 15-1.  I couldn't have imagined at the beginning of this year that I could finish with more than 170 wins, but with just an 11-5 mark this week, I will have done so.  My picks will continue into the playoffs and will start including player stat predictions in addition to the game and score picks.
