Read below for my thoughts on NFL Week 17 FOX and the FOX Sports app.

Let’s dive into the following questions and my predictions.

1. Which player will have the most receiving yards?

Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, AJ Brown, Davante Adams

Did you see Justin Jefferson last week? the man I usually pick the best receiver at this spot, and I’m not changing that this week. After that, I want to consider Adams, but I think Buffalo at home has to know that Rodgers-to-Adams is the most potent thing the Jets offense has going for them right now. The Eagles host the Cowboys and need to win, and AJ Brown helps them do just that. But will his quarterback Jalen Hurts be good to go?

Prediction: Jefferson, Lamb, Adams, Brown

2. Order the teams by who will score the most points (lowest to lowest):

the colts, the giant, the cowboy, the eagle

The Giants have lost 10 straight, and four of those have come by 21 or more. They are not beating an indy team that is competing for a playoff spot. In the case of Cowboys-Eagles, Dallas hasn’t given up on the season, despite being out of playoff contention. In fact, it has won four of its last five. Still, Philly is at home, and even without Hurts, in a must-win situation if it wants to wrestle the No. 1 seed in the NFC from Detroit.

Prediction: Colts, Eagles, Cowboys, Giants

3. Which QB will have the most passing yards?

Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Jordan love, Cooper Rush

Mayfield is having an under-the-radar spectacular season. He is fourth in the league in passing yards and third in touchdowns. Now, he gets Carolina at home in a must-win for the Buccaneers, and he’s thrown for at least 235 yards over the past five weeks.

Prediction: Baker Mayfield

4. Which of the following will occur in week 17?

Saquon Barkley 115+ rushing yards
Brock Bowers 7+ reception
Josh Allen 1+ rushing TD
None of the above will happen

I actually think it’s all going to happen, so it’s essentially picking what’s most likely to happen. Saccone is chasing Eric Dickerson’s record of 2,105 rushing yards, and needs 268 yards to get there. I think Philly is going to work hard to get a record starting this week against rival Dallas. Still, Allen and rushing touchdowns are like a guarantee these days, right? He has eight in the past six weeks.

Prediction: Josh Allen 1+ Rushing TD

5. Order the RBs by who will have the most rushing yards (highest to lowest):

Rico Dowdle, Aaron Jones Sr, Jonathan Taylor, Josh Jacobs

Taylor and Dowdle are the hottest backs in the league right now, tied with Barkley. Dowdle has surpassed 100 yards rushing in three of the past four games, and Taylor has 325 rushing yards over the past two weeks. So who has the more favorable matchup? Dowdle has the Eagles on the road. Taylor owns the Giants in New York.

Prediction: Taylor, Dowdle, Jones Sr., Jacobs

6. What will be the outcome of this NFC North battle?

the packer Win, tie or lose by 1 point OR the vikings Win with 2 or more points

Minnesota beat the Packers 31-29 in Green Bay in Week 4, a game it led 28-0 at one point. Now, at 13-2, Minnesota is just one game back of Detroit atop the NFC North, with the Lions holding the head-to-head tiebreaker. The Vikings have won eight in a row, and Sam Darnold has 15 touchdowns and a pick in his last six games. Don’t overthink it.

Prediction: Vikings wins by 2 or more points

Tiebreaker: What will be the final score?

Prediction: Vikings 28, Packers 24
