The regular season is now over, but that doesn't mean the MVP race is over. The playoff still count for these standings, AND the point values double so the playoffs could really make or break these races. Three games have been played since the last time we took a look, so lets get to it
At Chicago Bears: James Jones gets the obvious nod here with three touchdown receptions. Well give half point to Rodgers for three TD passes, Heyward for a pick, and Clay Matthews for a pair of sacks.
Vs Tennessee Titans: Rodgers has to get the full point here for a great game. Ryan Grant gets a half point for 80 yards and a pair of TDs. Hawk gets a half point for two sacks.
At Minnesota Vikings: For the third game in a row Rodgers makes an appearance, getting the point again with four TD passes.
Standings through the regular season
Randall Cobb: 4 points
Erik Walden: 1 point
Jermichael Finley: 0.5 points
Jordy Nelson: 2 points
Morgan Burnett: 1.5 points
James Starks: 0.5 points
Mike Daniels: 1 point
Aaron Rodgers: 6 points
Mason Crosby: 1 point
Dejuan Harris: 0.5 points
Davon House: 1 point
Tim Masthay: 1 point
Clay Matthews: 1.5 points
Tramon Williams: 0.5 points
John Kuhn: 0.5 points
AJ Hawk: 2 points
James Jones: 4 points
Cedric Benson: 0.5 points
Alex Green: 0.5 points
Casey Heyward: 2 points
Ryan Grant: 0.5 points
On the running back category we have Ryan Grant, Alex Green, Dujuan Harris, James Starks, and Cedric Benson. Five running backs! what a strange season.

NFl Wild Card Round Picks
I went 11-5 in the final week of the season, giving me a final record of 162-94 in the regular season. But its playoff time now, and my one life dream is to have a perfect 11-0 postseason record. Its incredibly unlikely it will happen this year though, as this figures to be one of the most wide open races ever, particularly in the NFC, where I can make a legitimate case for all six teams to be in the super bowl. Its a little less open in the AFC in my opinion, I don't think any of the four teams playing wild card weekend in that conference can go on the road and win in New England or Denver, but we'll see. Heres the picks
Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans: The Texans are the epitome of a team playing their worst football going into the postseason. All season long they've looked like they would take the number one seed, and then on the last weekend they slip all the way to 3. Laying an egg at home to Minnesota, then losing at Indy is not the way you want to go into the playoffs. Not only that, the two biggest games they've played all season, Vs Green Bay and at New England, they played awful football both times. The Bengals meanwhile, are in the playoffs for a second straight year without really impressing anyone. Last year they did it beating up on weak teams while they lost to the good teams, so its understandable they were ignored, but there run was more impressive this year. As it stands, they haven't won a playoff game since 1990, before I was even born. Do I think it will happen this year? not quite, I still think Houston manages to get a playoff win this year, despite their awful play recently. Houston 27 Cincinatti 20
Minnesota Vikings at Green Bay Packers: For the second time in four seasons, the Packers will play the same team in the wild card round that they played in week 17. The Packers lost a first round bye by losing to the Vikings today, which means a divisional round game against the 49ers would now take place in San Francisco rather than Lambeau. But first they need to get by the Vikings, who really scare me to death. The Packers SHOULD win this game. A home game where you have the superior QB is a game you should win. But Adrian Peterson is simply stunning, and he scares the crap out of me. I do think the Packers end up winning though, they are at home, they are more experienced, and beating a team two weeks in a row is very hard to do, especially a team as good as the Packers. Packers 31 Vikings 21
Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens: The Colts are an emotional team, and that can never be underestimated, and the Ravens are struggling a little bit heading into the playoffs. I feel wrong picking three straight home teams, but I really think the Ravens find a way to win a playoff game at home. I will also make the prediction this will be the ugliest game of the week. Ravens 23 Colts 16
Seattle Seahawks at Washington Redskins: The rookie QB battle. I like Washington in this game, but I am begging, hoping beyond hope, pleading with all my might for a Seahawks-Packers Championship game at Lambeau. I feel wrong picking the Seahawks to win a road playoff game, but Ill do it, against my better judgement. Seahawks 28 Redskins 24
I don't feel all that great about my picks this week, but Ill stand by them, not counting on this being the year for 11-0 though.

NCAA Basketball Big Ten Week one picks
A lot of posts are forthcoming over the next 24 hours. First this one, then part 3 of the best games of the Aaron Rodgers era, then my picks for the wildcard games next weekend, and an updated look at the Packers MVP standings. Not necessarily in that order, but look for all that over the next day. The Big Ten basketball season starts tomorrow, it will go on for 70 days, or ten weeks, and it should be a fun and wild race this year. Ohio st, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Michigan st, and Indiana all have reason to believe they can be a force in the conference this year. Purdue and Iowa are the next tier. Not pushovers, but probably not quite tournament worthy, and Nebraska, Penn st and Northwestern are the bottom tier of the conference this year.

Top 12 Packers games of the Aaron Rodgers era part two
9. 2012 Week 15 Packers at Bears W 21-13. With a win in week fifteen over the Chicago Bears the Packers clinched their second division title of the Aaron Rodgers era and sent their biggest rival into a scenario where they would be the first 7-1 team since the merger to miss the playoffs. The Bears got off to an early 7-0 lead with a pass to Brandon Marshall. But the Packers got a TD, interception, and TD to take a 14-7 lead at half. They quickly scored in the third to go up 21-7, but from there commited a series of bad mistakes that nearly cost them the game. Two fumbles, two missed field goals, and a terrible pass interference play by Morgan Burnett, and yet the packers still held on for the win. Why it was important: winning the division on your rivals field, when you started the season 2-3 and they started 7-1.
8. 2011 Week 1 Saints at Packers W 42-34. The second opening game on this list, and it wont be the last. The Packers hung on for a thriller victory 42-34. The first game of the NFL season was one of the best of the season. The Packers jumped out 14-0 and 21-7, but New Orleans closed to withing 21-17. With the score 28-20, Randall Cobb, in his first career NFL game, ran a kickoff back 108 yards for a touchdown. With the score 42-24, the Saints marched down to the one yard line on the final play of the game, but were stuffed on their last attempt. Why it was important: First game as defending champs, beginning of a record setting 15-1 season.
7. 2010 Week 1 Packers at Eagles W 27-20. The third opening game on this list, and it still wont be the last. The Packers went into philly and won 27-20. It was important for a myriad of reasons. It was the first game of a super bowl season, and it was the first game of, in my opinion, a new era. The Packers came into this season as not just super bowl contenders, but super bowl favorites, for the first time in about 12 years. It was also the first time the Packers won in Philly since the 60's.

Week 17 NFL Picks
Back to good form last week, going 12-4 to put me at 151-89 on the season. We have now reached the last week of the NFL season, and what a fun ride its been. Some teams have surprised me with how good they are (Seahawks, Colts), some have surprised me with how bad they are (Panthers, Steelers), and some I accurately predicted to be bad while some "experts" predicted a good season (Eagles!) Also the Lions. Lets close out the regular season on a strong note to peak in the playoffs!
Buccaneers at Falcons: The Falcons may rest starters in this one, but I still like them to take it at home. Pick: Falcons
Jets at Bills: Pick: I need to go back and see what my record is on picking Jets games this season. Every time I buy into them a little bit and start picking them to win they suck it up, and every time I think theyre terrible and pick them to lose they bounce back. I hate you Jets! After picking them to win the last two weeks and having them lose both, Im off the wagon, so they'll probably win. Pick: Jets
Ravens at Bengals: This game is largely meaningless thanks to the Ravens winning the division today, but Cincy is still playing for playoff seeding. If Cincy wins, a Bengals/Ravens rematch in the wild card round is very possible.
Bears at Lions: The Bears are still alive, but need the Packers to beat the Vikings. Unfortunately, a Packers/Bears playoff matchup which looked possible coming into the week, is now impossible until at least the championship game (yea right) because of the Vikings winning today. Pick: Bears
Jaguars at Titans: Yawn. Ill Take Jax because they at least looked interested today, whereas Tennessee seemed perfectly content to take off the rest of the season. Pick: Jaguars
Texans at Colts: Texans still playing for home field, Colts for 5 or 6 seed, really tough game to pick, but I still sorta kinda believe in Houston. Pick: Texans
Panthers at Saints: New Orleans just went into Dallas and won, crushing my dreams of a Cowboys trip to Lambeau in January. They are clearly a better team now than they were in September. Pick: Saints
Eagles at Giants: People don't realize this is the 3rd time in the last 4 seasons they Giants have imploded in December. People don't realize this because a championship was sandwiched inbetween, but its true. Pick: Giants
Browns at Steelers: No Playoffs for you steel city! Pick: Steelers
Dolphins at Patriots: Pats still can potentially end up at the one seed, hopefully this wont happen. Pick: Patriots
Chiefs at Broncos: And this is why it wont, Denver gets a pushover in week seventeen. Pick: Broncos
Raiders at Chargers: Remember when these teams played in week one, and I said it would be a snoozefest? the same goes for this one, but at least we wont be forced to watch it because five other games will be going on. Pick: Chargers
Cardinals at 49ers: I actually want San Fran to win, because a San Fran lose means Seattle most likely takes the division. Pick: 49ers
Rams at Seahawks: Seattle going for a perfect home record this season.* cough. Pick: Seahawks
Packers at Vikings: A Packers win means a first round bye, a loss sets up a rematch with the Vikings at Lambeau the next week. No way im picking for that to happen. Pick: Packers
Cowboys at Redskins: RG3 lit up Dallas on Thanksgiving, and he'll do it again, I said after week one Washington would win this division and people laughed. Yea, whose laughing now? Pick: Redskins

Its going to either be Vikings vs Packers at Lambeau on on wild card weekend, or 49ers at Lambeau on divisional weekend. I guess theres a chance 49ers could lose on wild card weekend, meaning it could be Seattle/Washington/Dallas at Lambeau on divisional weekend, but I doubt San Fran would lose at home. I also doubt the Vikings can beat the Packers two weeks in a row, so even if we lose this weekend, I foresee a playoff victory on wild card weekend.
Buccaneers at Falcons: The Falcons may rest starters in this one, but I still like them to take it at home. Pick: Falcons

Week 16 picks
An 8-8 week, nothing to hang my hat on. I now stand at 139-85 on the season. Im pretty sure Im up to 4 straight weeks where I haven't done so hot, and am one by one falling behind the ESPN experts. Im still ahead of a few of them though. Hopefully I can end the season on a strong note.

Theres three teams fighting for two spots in the AFC, and a whopping six teams fighting for 3 spots in the NFC, including a 3 way tie in the NFC East. These final two weeks in the NFC race are going to be a lot of fun.
