Jeff Hoak added two more games to his season lead in Week 17 of our Eastern Maine Sports NFL picks with a 13-3 record. Chris Lessner moved into second place overall with an 11-5 mark, climbing ahead of Marc Calnan who went 10-6. Gabe Nason also went 10-6 on the week. In the final week of the regular season with teams still battling for playoff positions and berths, the staff believes the Cleveland at Cincinnati matchup will be the most competitive. We all think Dallas, Philadelphia, Kansas City, and Tampa Bay will roll to wins. Other winners include Houston, Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Seattle, Detroit, New Orleans, NY Jets, LA Rams, and Buffalo to also beat Miami to win the AFC East. Here are the Week 17 results, season standings, and the Week 18 predictions-
