Happy Holidays! (Especially to those of you celebrating Boxing Day - Hi Fetch!) We’ve got a shorter regular season ending version of the Pigsplosion today because I’ve got Holiday drinkin’ that needs to be done. After the jump, the final regular season picks, Matt Cassel’s last girl ever (maybe?) and some videos.

Since we’re in the middle of the Holidays…

——————

Yet another big game for Matt Cassel. 20 of 36 for 345 and 3 touchdowns. If the NFL used the same rules regarding rookies that MLB did, Cassel would be a slam dunk for Rookie of the Year.

Week 17 Pigsplosive Video:

Last week: 9-7

Overall: 134-87-3

St Louis @ Atlanta

Merry Christmas Matt Schaub. You gave Atlanta a winning season and the playoffs, so here’s Danielle Lloyd all dressed up for the holidays. Falcons 21, Rams 17

New England @ Buffalo

The Patriots lost the Super Bowl, lost Tom Brady for the season and could now finish 11-5 and miss the Playoffs. I’m no Patriots fan, but that shit just ain’t right. Patriots 42, Bills 21

Kansas City @ Cincinnati

Bengals season tickets are overpriced. Chiefs 24, Bengals 21

Chicago @ Houston

Kyle Orton is much better in the elements. Texans 21, Bears 14

New York Giants @ Minnesota

I saw the Giants play last Sunday. It was cold. That has nothing to do with Purple Jesus who will probably go crazy on Sunday. Vikings 30, Giants 27

Carolina @ New Orleans

They’re going to need a shit load of ice for Drew Brees’ arm after this game. Brees needs 402 yards Sunday to break Marino’s record of 5,084 passing yards. I can see him going for 380 or so with a couple touchdowns and a picks. Panthers 35, Saints 31

Cleveland @ Pittsburgh

If the Steelers are smart, they’ll take a page from last year’s Giants and play hard Sunday. This does not bode well for Ken Dorsey. At all. This should really be the shit-cherry on top of the Browns’ shit sundae. Steelers 28, Browns 3

Oakland @ Tampa Bay

You do not get between Bucs offensive lineman Anthony Davis and his pancakes:

“Fuck the police, You can’t do nothing. I want my food mother fucker. I got food that I ordered.€

Joe Bucs Fan has full details of the incident that the Tampa media is either ignoring or covering up. Bucs 24, Raiders 14

Tennessee @ Indianapolis

As long as Jeff Fisher isn’t jumping out of any planes today, the Titans should be OK. Titans 30, Colts 20

Detroit @ Green Bay

This game is the exact opposite of last year’s week 17 game between the Giants and Patriots. Think about it - The Patriots were 15-0 and facing a 10-5 Giants team that was about to roll through the playoffs to the Super Bowl. The Lions are an 0-15 team facing a 5-10 Packers team that has blown every conceivable opportunity this season and have been eliminated from the Playoffs for weeks.

The Packers’ defense is so fucking bad I want to cry. And I just have a passing interest in them. I can only imagine how high the suicide rate in Wisconsin has risen this year. This game is so intriguing because the 2008 Packers have the most talented offense to ever lose 10 games. They’ve got to.

Then there’s the hapless Lions. They’re standing on the cusp of history. 0-16. They would be immortalized as the worst team ever. Pull off the upset and they just become another horrible team. They’ll be forgotten, like the ‘07 Dolphins.

I think I’ve picked the Packers every week this season. Might as well finish the season strong. Here’s hoping the Packers do too. Packers 38, Lions 20

Dallas @ Philadelphia - Eagles 20, Cowboys 19

Jacksonville @ Baltimore - Ravens 21, Jags 10

Seattle @ Arizona

More Danielle Lloyd at My Chill Pill. Happy holidays indeed. Cardinals 28, Seahawks 21

Washington @ San Francisco - 49ers 14, Redskins 13

Miami @ New York Jets

Pennington vs. Favre. Who knew it would actually mean something? Will Brett Favre retire!? His arm is sore. Dolphins 27, Jets 16

Denver @ San Diego

Who gets to take the playoff spot of a team with 10 or 11 wins? Chargers 41, Broncos 34
