Week 18 is always tough to predict, but it’s also the last 16-game slate of the season! Let’s hope Lions-Vikings can live up to the billing and that we can come away with a solid season above .500 in our picks.

It was a Christmas miracle in the form of a 3-hour nap for our little one that allowed us to post these picks before the holiday. We hope y’all have a great time with family!

So many big names are dealing with injuries right now that it’s hard to predict who will be on the field, much less how the score will play out. Let’s see if we can figure out who’s actually missing games, who probably should miss games, and who has enough to give it a go.

We finally saw our winning streak end, but that just means it’s time to start a new one!

The Lions are currently ahead of the ‘85 Bears in the historical DVOA tables; I don’t think they’re actually better than my personal choice for the greatest team of all time, but they’re much better than the Vegas lines and some of my favorite podcasts would have you believe. Let’s ride them while we can!
