Bank Stadium, will keep marching toward a fourth MVP and his second in two years. Rodgers, who threw for 385 yards, four touchdowns, no interceptions and a 148.4 passer rating in the Packers' 34-31 loss at U.S. And, oh yeah, not with Cousins capping the 2021 calendar year with a trip to the reserve/COVID-19 list. Not with a windchill of a bazillion below. They'll need to win another one and, well, ain't gonna happen. The 2021 Vikings are 1-0 in shootouts with Aaron Rodgers. Here's a look at this week's games, with no Thursday or Saturday matchups on the schedule: UPDATED ODDS: Point spreads, money lines, over/under And, no, Baker 'INTERCEPTION!' Mayfield losing at this point does not feel like an upset.

Yes, we whiffed on Pittsburgh > Kansas City last week. Nary a one of them has any chance of losing (famous last words), so the only upset this NFL guesstimator's got for a Week 17 Upset Special is Pittsburgh over Cleveland at home on Monday night. This week, four teams are favored by 12 ½ or more points. The Vikings, of course, played a one-score game and lost for the eighth time in 14 one-score tries. Last week, the NFL had eight games decided by double digits, including five by 20 or more points. Should they finish on top, the NFL will have a rags-to-riches, worst-to-first division winner for the 17 th time in the past 19 seasons. The Bengals lead the AFC North a year after finishing last. The Chiefs now travel to Cincinnati for the game of the week. In the AFC, Kansas City clinched the West for the sixth straight year. With that outburst, Dallas now leads the NFL in two pretty decent categories: points scored (30.5) and takeaways (33).ĭallas also claimed the NFC East, which has now gone 17 seasons without a repeat winner. The Cowboys hadn't scored that many points since reaching 59 in a win over the 49ers in 1980. (Then again, the Vikings could rest easy knowing Cooper Rush probably wouldn't be starting.)Īfter muddling along for weeks offensively, Dallas finally erupted in Week 16, pounding out 59 points while Washington defenders were punching each other on the sideline. Meanwhile, the NFC has six teams, including the suddenly Kirk Cousins-less Vikings, that are fighting for the final two playoff spots while really, really, REALLY hoping they don't have to open the postseason with the Cowboys in Dallas. It's January, there are two weeks left in the NFL's regular season and only one AFC team has clinched a playoff spot.
