NFL Picks ~ Week Eighteen

Hello and welcome to a special Thursday edition of Tuesdays with Swindy. Happy New Year! It's week eighteen in the NFL, and that means it's garbage time! Only a real degenerate would bet the NFL games this week, right? Well, some of us make the picks on every single game, every week, so here I am. With some teams who are playing backups, several teams with nothing to play for, and other teams still fighting for their playoff positions, it's a tricky week, to say the least.
