Other » Week 17 of the NFL season ought to be fairly predictable.

There are nine games matching up teams still playing for playoff position against teams that are already eliminated. Surely Jawaan Taylor Jersey , those nine teams with something to play for will easily beat the nine opponents with nothing to play for, right?Wrong. If history is any guide, we’ll see plenty of unpredictable results tomorrow.Last year, the NFL schedule provided the same situation heading into Week 17: Nine games matched up teams with something to play for against teams with nothing to play for. And in three of those games, the teams with nothing to play for won.The one everyone remembers was the Bengals’ dramatic last-minute victory over the Ravens. That turned out to be the last game of the 2017 regular season Josh Oliver Jersey , and it resulted in a spectacular touchdown pass from Andy Dalton to Tyler Boyd that knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs and put the Bills in. The result, in addition to putting the Bills in the postseason, was Bills fans donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to Dalton’s and Boyd’s charities.But that wasn’t the only game in which a team with nothing to play for beat a team still fighting for the playoffs. The Saints, who would have clinched the NFC South with a win, lost to the Buccaneers Deandre Baker Jersey , who were already eliminated. (The Saints ended up winning the NFC South anyway, but they needed help.) The Seahawks, who needed to win to get to the playoffs, lost to the Cardinals, who had already been eliminated.So while all the teams that have something to play for tomorrow (the Patriots http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/oshane-ximines-jersey , Texans, Chiefs, Chargers, Rams, Seahawks Julian Love Jersey , Steelers, Eagles and Ravens) are favored to win against opponents with nothing to play for, expect to see some upsets. The NFL season never goes according to plan. When left tackle Isaiah Wynn was injured in last week’s win over the Dolphins, the Patriots shifted Marshall Newhouse from right tackle to the left side of the line.Wynn went on injured reserve earlier this week and that opened the door to questions about whether Newhouse would stay at that spot in the future. There was discussion about moving Joe Thuney outside from left guard and filling the interior spot with James Ferentz or Jermaine Eluemunor, but that’s not the route they’re going.Offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia said on Friday http://www.newyorkgiantsteamonline.com/darius-slayton-jersey , via multiple reporters, that Newhouse will remain at left tackle with Thuney lining up inside of him.Newhouse started at right tackle last weekend because Marcus Cannon was out with a shoulder injury. Cannon has been a limited participant in practice this week and Korey Cunningham would step in for him if he can’t go against the Jets.
