The week XVII Saturday night game ended in tragic controversy for the Detroit Lions as they fell in the final game of the year but not the 2023 season. The Cowboys got extremely lucky as there were two penalties called on the same exact play. I predicted Dallas would wi. 27-37 & the actual final score was Dallas winning in a nail bitter, 19-20. My record o. Saturday night is 3-0, now 39-16 in primetime predictions with two more primetime games left in the 2023 NFL to start the New Year and my record overall on the season after week XVII is 156-97.

I finished Thursday nights with a record of 14-3. Awesomeness, and Joe Flacco and his Browns finished the night in week XVII with a win 20-37 & a postseason berth. The Jets where decimated from the beginning and had no hope whatsoever to win. My prediction was more humble with Cleveland winning 18-23, instead Flacco and Njoku had other ideas and lam-basted the Jets and their defense in more ways than one. Cleveland moves on to the postseason for the 2nd time in 3 seasons and New York trys to pick up the pieces and figure out if the current staff will return for another run with a healthy Breece Hall & Aaron Rodgers.
