Week 17 Picks and Playoff Schedule Predictions!

The Broncos host the Raiders in Week 17 with something on the line for Oakland. The Raiders won't know their playoff fate when they kickoff at Denver, so they will be playing for a possible chance to make the playoffs if four other games go their way. Denver will look to finish 7-9 and knock the Raiders out of any possible playoff berth. Hopefully, the Broncos will beat the Raiders and end the 2019 season with momentum going into 2020. Here are my picks for Week 17....
