The Giants are the only thing standing in the way of the Patriots and a perfect 16-0 season.

Week 17 Predictions

Home Team in CAPITALS

New England (-14) over N.Y. GIANTS
The Patriots need this one to become the first team in NFL history to have a perfect 16-0 season and the first team to go undefeated for the season since the ’72 Dolphins (who went 12-0). Both of these teams are already in the playoffs, and both of these teams are already locked in to their playoff spot (Patriots: first in the AFC, Giants: 5th in the NFC) so this game has no effect on their playoff positioning. The only thing that matters is the Patriots’ quest for perfection, along with being very close to breaking various other regular season records, including total points and total TD catches by a receiver during the regular season. The Giants have nothing to gain in having their stars play this game, or at least should be expected to have them only play a limited amount, which should make a big Patriots’ win the most likely outcome.

Buffalo (+7.5) over PHILADELPHIA
Both of these teams come into this game at one game under .500 (7-8) and only one will finish with a .500 season. The matchup of interest in this game will be Bill’s RB Marshawn Lynch against the Eagles’ 5th ranked run defense – look for Lynch to win this over the banged-up Eagle D.

TAMPA BAY (+2.5) over Carolina
The odds makers must be favouring the Panthers for this game based on the assumption the Bucs will be resting some starters for this game as they’ve already locked up the 4th seed for the NFC playoffs. However, there are some other factors which favour the Bucs in this one – it’s a home game for Tampa where they play strong, QB Garcia may play at least one half, as he’s only had one game back since several weeks off due to injury, and with that being said, the 2nd-ranked Bucs defence can preserve whatever lead Garcia and the other offensive starters who play for only the first half will secure.

MIAMI (+3) over Cincinnati
You know you’ve had a crappy season when you’re only favoured by a field goal over the 1-14 Dolphins. Miami has a chance in this one, as the Bengals live and die by their passing game, and in this one they face the 4th-best pass defence in the league, so watch for Miami to give their home crowd something else to be happy about besides “earning” the first draft pick for 2008.

Dallas (+9) over WASHINGTON
Even if Dallas chooses to rest all their stars for the entire game, I can’t take the Skins to beat the top NFC team by such a large spread – even at home. Yes, the Skins need to win to make the playoffs, however winning by over 9 points will not be easy considering they’re starting their back-up QB Todd Collins (who is decent) and the Skins will therefore lean heavily on their run attack. Dallas however, will counter with the 4th-ranked run defence. I think the Skins will win, but not by 9.

GREEN BAY (-4) over Detroit
Green Bay has nothing to play for this week, having already clinched second spot in the NFC, however after a horrible game in Chicago last weekend they will want to end the regular season on a positive note at home. Some interesting statistics on these two teams against the spread for this season, which makes the Packers the wise choice when picking this week – Detroit is 2-5 against the spread for road games, while Green Bay is 5-1 against the spread at home. Detroit has the 2nd-worst defence when their opposition is on third down and long, while the Packers can expose this weakness with the 4th-best offense in the league (2nd-best passing game).

Jacksonville (+6.5) over HOUSTON
This should be a hard-fought divisional rival game with the Jags already locked into 5th spot in the AFC while the Texans are motivated to finish the season with a .500 record. Watch for the Jags’ 2nd-ranked run attack to expose the weak Texans run defence.

New Orleans (-2) over CHICAGO
The Saints need to win plus have the Redskins and Vikings lose in order to squeak in for the final playoff spot in the NFC, so you know they’ll be bringing their A game to Chicago, who relies heavily on their 5th-ranked offense (3rd ranked passing game) while the Bears have no hope of making the playoffs and no clear starting QB after this disappointing season.

BALTIMORE (+3) over Pittsburgh
The Steelers’ starting QB is not scheduled to start this game, with 4th place in the AFC already guaranteed. Meanwhile the Steelers 3rd-ranked run attack will have their hands full since losing RB Willie Parker to injury last week AND going against the 2nd-best run defence in the NFL. The Ravens have had a horrible year, but stand a great chance to compete in this meeting.

Seattle (+2) over ATLANTA
Seattle shows great discipline, leading the league with a low of only 60 penalties called against them all season, while the Falcons have had more than twice as many penalties called against them this season (and that’s not including the charges against Vick!). Even if Seattle rests a lot of their starters for the playoffs they will still contend against the 3-12 Falcons.

CLEVELAND (-10) over San Francisco
The 9-6 Browns need the Titans to lose to make the playoffs – they should have absolutely no problem taking care of the horrible 49ers… now, what about the Titans?

Tennessee (-6) over INDIANAPOLIS
The Titans need to win this game to maintain the final playoff spot in the AFC, if they lose the Browns are in. The Colts should be resting a lot of their starters (having sewn up 2nd in the AFC) meaning the Titans’ 5th-ranked running game and 5th-ranked defence should be able to earn them this critical win.

Minnesota (-3) over DENVER
The Broncos have no shot at the playoffs, while the Vikings need to win and have Washington lose to Dallas in order to finish 6th in the NFC. The Vikings roll into Denver with the top running game and the top run defence in the league, so they have the weapons to win this one.

San Diego (-8) over OAKLAND
By winning this game, the Chargers guarantee staying in 3rd place in the AFC, which ensures one more playoff round before they could ultimately have to face the intimidating Patriots. This will be all the incentive they need to take care of the lowly Raiders.

ARIZONA (-6) over St. Louis
The Cardinals were the sexy pick before this season started as a team that could surprise this season and make a run in the playoffs. Unfortunately that never materialized, however Warner has been great as the backup QB thrust into the starting role due to injury, so watch for them to end this season strong and hope that momentum carries through to 2008.

Kansas City (+6) over N.Y. JETS
I can never take the Jets as a favourite – they simply don’t deserve it, even with some injuries to the Chiefs.

As many of you know, its about this time of year when the Town of Milton council sits down and decides how much money they need to pay for the services they provide. It’s also a well known fact that Milton has one of the lower tax rates in the GTA, which is what makes Milton a choice for many people to live.

Last week on December 10th and 11th, the council sat down to hammer out the town staff’s proposal for the budget. What came out of it was rather shocking.

After “long deliberations” the council had decided on a 6.6% increase in our taxes for 2008. This means a homeowner with a property value of $ 300,000 will have an increase on their bill of over $45 for residential and roughly $37 for rural.

Keep in mind the rate of inflation is hovering at 2.5% for this year.

Why such a huge increase? In recent articles appearing in the Milton Canadian Champion, you will see the highlights (or low-lights if you so choose) of the budget deliberations on the 10th and 11th.

The budget initially had an increase of 4 full time firefighters for the Milton Fire Department but Ward 2 Councillor Greg Nelson made a case for just one more saying “Four says we got the message — five says we care.”

A little on the dramatic side and it worked as the changes were approved…

Coming off their first win, the Dolphins go for two in a row vs. the Patriots *laughs to himself*

Well, the busy holiday season has caught up with the Milton Pigskin Prognosticator. This means you the readers are left with my questionable insights based on my limited knowledge of the NFL landscape…

It goes without saying that I really don’t follow football THAT closely. I know the standings and the major happenings around the league, but don’t expect any head-to-head comparisons from years past, key injury updates or offensive/defensive team rankings as you usually find in this space.

So, if you have a few minutes to waste, you’re more than welcome to review my thoughts on the final week of the NFL season. The MPP will be back next week in full force to give you his projected wild card winners as the playoffs get under way.

Week 16 (Home team in CAPS)

Pittsburgh (-7.5) over ST. LOUIS
Take the Steelers to come up big against the Rams, vying for a Central Division title.

Dallas (-10.5) over CAROLINA
This game scares me - all logic points to the Cowboys blowing out the Panthers, but the game is in Charlotte and the Cowboys had an off-game vs. the Eagles last week. However, home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs is at stake for ‘The Boyz’, so I’m expecting them to come up big.

CINCINNATI (+3) over Cleveland
The Browns’ recent history in clutch games points to them losing at divisional-rival Cincinnati in this huge game with playoff implications.

Green Bay (-8.5) over CHICAGO
‘da Bears have given up on the season and Green Bay needs this one to have a shot at home field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. This one could get ugly.

Houston (+7) over INDIANAPOLIS
The Texans have been playing some good ball of late and I think they’ll give the Colts all they can handle.

DETROIT (-4.5) over Kansas City
Yuck.

NEW ENGLAND (-22) over Miami
Like last week, this one depends on the weather. Unless it’s a blizzard, or it’s minus double-digits, the Pats will run up the score and see if the Dolphins can muster anything against their reserves.

BUFFALO (+2.5) over N.Y. Giants
I like the fiesty Bills at home even against the Giants, looking to punch their playoff ticket.

JACKSONVILLE (-13) over Oakland
The Jags are rolling. Peter King deemed them as the team ‘most likely to knock off the Patriots in the playoffs’ earlier this week. Now, will they ever draw enough of a crowd in Jacksonville to take the tarps off the upper deck?

NEW ORLEANS (-3) over Philadelphia
The Eagles looked good in knocking off the Cowboys, but there’s a reason why they’re 6-8: inconsistency. The Saints will come up big at home looking to stay in the playoff mix in the NFC after a terrible start.

MINNESOTA (-6.5 ) over Washington
I’ve taken a lot of favourites here… Both of these teams are looking to make it to the postseason. Minnesota should prevail - I think it will be a close game until the 4th quarter when the Vikes will literally ‘run away’ with it.

ARIZONA (-10) over Atlanta
I’ve gotta go with the Cards to cover given Atlanta’s issues on and off the field this year… They just want to get the season over with…

Baltimore (+10) over SEATTLE
Having long since clinched a playoff berth, the Seahawks may begin to rest some of their regulars, allowing the Ravens to keep this one close, playing for pride after their embarrassing OT loss to the Dolphins last week.

TENNESSEE (-9) over NY Jets
Another big spread, but again, I’ve got to go with the Titans to cover, looking to come up big trying to clinch a playoff berth. And it’s in Nashville. Oh, and did I mention they play the Jets?

SAN FRANCISCO (+6.5) over Tampa Bay
I think the Niners keep this close playing for pride, and versus a Bucs team who just clinched the NFC South Division Title last week.

SAN DIEGO (-8.5) over Denver
Even though they have clinched the AFC West, the Chargers’ season has been mildly disappointing and I think they’ll be looking to tune up the offence getting ready for their playoff opponent.

Survivor:
Let’s go with the Jags over Oakland

Now Milton, what do you think?

The following post is by Mike Cluett. Please visit Mike Cluett’s Milton blog site here:

I was getting ready to go to the last official meeting of the Milton 150th Anniversary committee around 6:30pm when I heard some weird sounds and then a smash.

“Oh no, not again” I thought and hoped for the best as I made my way to the front porch.

So much for hoping.

There was another accident at Yates Drive and March Crossing last night between 2 vehicles. One coming out of March Crossing turning east towards Bennett and the other travelling on Yates towards Bennett. One driver was taking her family to the Hawthorne Village PS Holiday sing-a-long when, according to her, the car came through the stop sign and hit her on the drivers side front wheel, causing some significant damage….

The undefeated Patriots are again the story this week…. How many points will they rack up against the Jets, and how chilly will the post-game handshake be between coaches Belichick and Mangini?

The time-strapped Milton Pigskin Prognosticator teams up with the Milton Sports Guy to break down this week’s NFL matchups as the season winds down…

Week 15 Picks (Home team in CAPS)

HOUSTON (-1) over Denver
Both of these teams are at 6-7 in the AFC, both out of the playoffs but still with a chance to get in if they continue to win and at least one team ahead of them falters in these final weeks. Both teams are coming off big wins and have won 3 of their last 5 games. The Broncos have the 5th-ranked offense, but are inconsistent, so I’ll take the Texans who are 4-2 at home.

Cincinnati (-8.5) over SAN FRANCISCO
The no-luck 49ers are likely down to their 3rd-string QB for this game – some dude named Hill, which will not help their woeful 3-10 record, while the Bengals have looked marginally better the past 5 games – winning 3 of them – including big wins at Baltimore and vs. Tennessee. With those two big wins, the Bengals should be able to continue their momentum this week against the lowly Niners.

Arizona (+4) over NEW ORLEANS
Like the Thursday night game (Denver at Houston) both of these teams sit at 6-7, just shy of a wild card spot in the NFC. When a game is this critical for both teams, you can generally expect a close game, therefore not wise to pick either team to win by more than a field goal – so I’ll take the Cardinals, who have won 3 of their last 5, including wins over Cleveland and Detroit, while the Saints have lost their last two home games and have lost RB Reggie Bush for the season.

TAMPA BAY (-12) over Atlanta
At first glance, this spread is surprising for a division rivalry, however upon further review, the facts all point to the Bucs to cover. #1 QB Jeff Garcia will be back to start for this game, the Falcons have lost 4 straight games (all by more than this spread), the Bucs won in Atlanta 31-7 four weeks ago and the Bucs’ #3 defence should be able to keep the Falcons to minimal scoring again, while putting up several TD’s of their own at home.

Baltimore (-3.5) over MIAMI
Both of these teams are winless in their last seven games – so let’s call this one the Crap Bowl shall we? Baltimore still has the 5th-ranked defense in the league, so that alone should allow them to contain the 0-13 Dolphins and muster-up enough points to win by 4 – perhaps an exciting game won by two field goals, final score 6-0 – now are you ready for some football!?!

CLEVELAND (-5.5) over Buffalo
The Browns hold the final playoff spot in the AFC and need to win this home game to guarantee they hold their spot for another week. Buffalo is 3-3 on the road this season, with their only wins being against the futile Jets, Dolphins and the Redskins first game after having one of their players murdered – so don’t count on a similar success against a much more prepared and talented adversary. The Browns should be able to rack up lots of yards in the air against the Bills D.

Green Bay (-9.5) over ST. LOUIS
The Rams were down to their third string QB last week, and their offense only had 88 rushing yards and 153 passing yards, while the Packers 3rd-ranked offense has scored 27 or more points in their last 6 games. A 3rd-string QB on an under-achieving team cannot compete against a 11-2 Packer team that has Brett Favre at the helm!

(The Milton Sports Guy comes in from the ‘pen to close this week out)

Jacksonville (+3.5) over PITTSBURGH
Go with the red-hot Jags. They’re red hot and seem to be surging toward the playoffs. The Steelers will be looking to rebound after their thrashing at the hands of New England last week. Also take this into consideration: rain or snow in Pittsburgh on the suspect Heinz Field playing surface could also keep this game close, a la the Steelers’ narrow 3-0 victory over the Dolphins a few weeks ago….

NEW ENGLAND (-24) over N.Y. Jets
Finally the Mangini/Belichick/Spygate saga will come to a resolution…. The Patroits will want to prove a point to the team that ratted them out for cheating with video cameras in the first week of the season, the Patriots are at home and well, um, the Jets just suck. All of the above equals a New England victory by 25+ points.

Seattle (-7) over CAROLINA
Seattle seems to have things figured out now after some early struggles. I’m still not 100% sold on them, but the Panthers are also hard to figure out.

Tennessee (-4) over KANSAS CITY
Stick a fork in the Chiefs’ season. It’s done.

Indianapolis (-10) over OAKLAND
The Raiders put together a couple of impressive performances a few weeks ago but have since predictably fallen back to well below .500.

Detroit (+10) over SAN DIEGO
The Chargers seem to have turned their season around, but there’s no guarantee they’ll cover this spread against a plucky Lions squad who inexplicably gave the Cowboys all they could handle last week.

Philadelphia (+10.5) over DALLAS
Just a hunch Philly will hang close in this matchup of divisional rivals.

Washington (+4.5) over N.Y. GIANTS
An ‘opposite’ prediction: The Giants are the better team playing at home and should be able to cover a 4.5 point spread…. Go with the Redskins.

MINNESOTA (-10) over Chicago
I asked this a few weeks ago: Can you believe the Bears played in the Super Bowl last year?

The way it looks, it seems like the City of Toronto WANTS their councillors to spend money and then punishes those who take it upon themselves to SAVE money.

This is beyond ridiculous! I’m sure Councillor Ford submits a detailed outline of all that he spends so whats the difference if he uses his own money to do it. And the City of Toronto wonders why they’re in the cash crunch situation they face.

Instead of being applauded for doing something to help out, hes singled out and persecuted for being fiscally sound.

Imagine if the Town of Milton did this?

Will the 12-0 Patriots continue to fall back to Earth this week when they host the 9-3 Steelers in Foxboro?

Week 14 Picks (Home team in CAPS)

WASHINGTON (-3) over Chicago
Bears QB Rex Grossman is a steaming heap of crap – if the Bears’ incredible kick return man Devin Hester doesn’t score one or more TD’s than the Bears have no other legitimate threat for putting points on the board. Both of these teams come into this game with 5-7 records – only one win away from the final wildcard spot in the NFC – so the winner will remain in contention while the loser will essentially have no hope of making the playoffs. The Skins have won 3 of the past 5 meetings and watch for RB Clinton Portis to have a huge game against a Bears run defence that has given up 100 plus running yards for the past 8 straight games.

JACKSONVILLE (-10.5) over Carolina
The Jaguars have a wildcard spot for the AFC, but with the Browns and Titans just one win behind them Jacksonville needs to win these sort of lopsided matchups to maintain their postseason seat. The Panthers are 1-5 over their last six games, having beaten only the lowly 49ers and losing 4 of their 5 games by more than this spread. The Jags’ defence can greatly limit the Panthers’ ability to run the ball and bring their 2nd-ranked run offence into this game to help literally run up this score.

DETROIT (+11) over Dallas
This is the time of year when playoff spots greatly dictate how close a game SHOULD be. The Lions are currently one spot out of the playoffs and require a win to stay in contention. The Lions have lost 4 straight, but if they can’t show-up this week than their season is as good as done – so take them to “represent” this weekend.

Miami (+7) over BUFFALO
Buffalo won the first meeting this season by a mere 3 points, and truly do not have a strong enough team to ever be chosen to cover a 7 point spread, especially when facing the 3rd best pass defence in the league. The Bills would have been coming into this game on a three game losing streak if they had not played the emotionally drained Redskins last week. Take the points on this one.

N.Y. Giants (+3) over PHILADELPHIA
You’ve gotta like the 8-4 Giants and their 5th-ranked run defence against the 5-7 Eagles. The Eagles’ success rests heavily on the shoulders of RB Westbrook – so watch for them to struggle against the strong Giant run defence and the Giants need to keep winning to maintain their Wild Card spot. The Giants won their first meeting with Philadelphia earlier this season 16-3.

Oakland (+10) over GREEN BAY
Too big of a question mark regarding Favre’s availability for this game to take the Packers to cover this big spread – and even if he does start (which is likely in order to keep his consecutive game record alive) he will not be 100% and may not be able to finish the game. Sure the Packers back-up QB held his own against Dallas last week, but he’s not going to lead the Packers to blow-out wins, plus the Raiders come in with two straight big wins over K.C. (20-17) and Denver (34-20).

Pittsburgh (+13) over NEW ENGLAND
I think the Patriots could very well cover this spread, because after 2 straight close wins against mediocre teams New England will be eager to prove all their doubters wrong this weekend with a convincing win at home. However the Patriots face the top-rated defence in the league this week (best against the pass and second best against the run) and the Steelers also have the 3rd-best run attack, so it’s a pretty big spread.

TENNESSEE (+1) over San Diego
The Titans are sitting in the 7th spot in the AFC playoff hunt, so this is a critical home game for them. Tennessee has the 5th-best running game and the 5th-best overall defence. The Chargers have lost 4 of 6 road games this season, with their only wins being against sub .500 teams.

CINCINNATI (-6.5) over St. Louis
This game gives the Bengals the perfect opponent, as the Rams’ weak offence will make it easier on the lousy Bengal defence. Likewise, the 4th-ranked Bengal passing game can feast on the weak St. Louis defence.

Tampa Bay (-3) over HOUSTON
The NFC South leading Bucs have won 4 straight and their 4th-ranked defence should allow this to continue versus the 5-7 Texans, who are on a 2 game skid. As the Bucs continue to get players back off the injured reserve, their success should continue.

Arizona (+7) over SEATTLE
The Cardinals have won the past two meetings with Seattle and need a win to guarantee holding the final Wild Card spot in the NFC. Both of these teams have played well of late, with Seattle on a 4-game winning streak while Arizona has won 3 of 4 – during this stretch Arizona has averaged 31 points per game and Seattle 26 – so watch for this to be a back-and-forth high scoring game with a close finish.

Minnesota (-8.5) over SAN FRANCISCO
The Vikings have won 3 straight, while the 49ers have only won 3 all season. Minnesota has outscored their opponents 83 to 27 in just the last two games and should have no trouble running the ball down the 49ers’ throat. Winning this game will allow Minnesota to stay in the wild card hunt in the NFC.

Cleveland (-3.5) over N.Y. JETS
Besides one decent win over the overrated Steelers, the Jets’ only two other wins all season came versus the 0-12 Dolphins. Meanwhile the Brown scoring machine has racked-up 21 or more points in 10 of their 12 games this season , only being held below this amount by the #1 and #3 defences in the league (Pittsburgh and New England). The Jets are no match in this one, and the Browns need this win to keep their wild card spot with the Titans right on their tail.

DENVER (-6.5) over Kansas City
Two slumping divisional rivals meet up in this game, with the Broncos having lost 4 of their last 6 games while the Chiefs have lost 5 straight. The Broncos have won the last 3 meetings with K.C., having won by 9 or more points in the past two – so watch for QB Cutler to get back to form at home after two tough road losses, as without a win hear the 5-7 Broncos will be all but out of the playoff hunt.

Indianapolis (-9.5) over BALTIMORE
Oh those poor Ravens, having narrowly missed beating the 12-0 Patriots at home in the Monday-nighter last week. Baltimore will not have any gas left in their tanks after that emotional game, and factor in one less game to rest/prepare for a Colt team which has the 4th-ranked overall offence and the 2nd-best overall defence. In a roundabout way, the Colts will be eager to show the football world that they can beat the Ravens more handily than their arch rivals did.

New Orleans (-5) over ATLANTA
The Saints have beaten this divisional rival the last three games, by 6 points this season and by 20 and 18 points last season when Atlanta had a stronger team. The Saints should win this one with a strong passing attack, having thrown for 260+ yards in their past five games (not including last week’s loss to the 4th-ranked Tampa pass defence).
