Here are 20 bold predictions to take into consideration for NFL Week 17 of the 2018 season.
With one weekend of action remaining, one can only imagine how intense some games are going to get in NFL Week 17 when seeing all of the teams either battling for a playoff spot or simply looking to earn a certain seed. Take a look at the Los Angeles Rams for example, who will be looking for Aaron Donald to have another monster performance to put the NFC West champions in better position to lock up the No. 2 seed in the NFC, which would give them an extra advantage.
Nobody needs to explain just how much of a difference it can be to have an extra week off in January, as the Rams would love nothing more than to see their first playoff game take place during the Divisional Round. Missing out on the top seed in the NFC was obviously frustrating for numerous reasons for Los Angeles when seeing how the team seemed to be a lock early on, but at least the No. 2 seed would be better than nothing.
While there are numerous reasons behind the success of the Rams during Sean McVay’s second season as head coach, one can only imagine where this team would be if it wasn’t for Donald’s presence on the defensive side of the football. The former Pittsburgh star has wasted little time working his way into becoming one of the league’s most dangerous defensive players over the years, but what Donald has been able to accomplish this season is unlike anything displayed before.
After recently setting the record for a defensive tackle with 19.5 sacks heading into the regular-season finale against the San Francisco 49ers, all eyes will be on Donald to see if he has what it takes to set the NFL record for most sacks in a single season. Along with what to expect from Donald, here are some other top bold predictions to take into consideration for NFL Week 17 before playoffs get underway.
