NFL Week 17: Win, Spread, Over/Under and Game Score Predictions

Welcome Back to The Sports Savant's Weekly NFL Picks, Week 17 Edition!

It's the final week of the NFL regular season and it's been another very successful season of picks for The Sports Savant!  Based on my current record to win, it looks like I will come up just short of last year's impossible record of 180-87 through the Superbowl, which bested every NFL expert published.  It will take an unprecedented run through the next week and the playoffs to match the loss column from 2011 now that I have 85 losses on the year as of Week 16.

What has been an big plus this year over last, is my winning record against the spread, like I did last year, but the real surprise has been my scorching hot success against the over/under, which I finished with a losing record in 2011.  This year if you had put money on all my picks, you made more money than last year's picks with my increased record in the spread and over/under picks.


Before we look at my picks for Week 17, let's take a look at how last weeks picks shaped up and my overall records for the 2012 NFL season...
