Like last week, I guess I will plan on creating a second post/story for the Sunday late afternoon, Sunday Night and Monday Night games and I will post the link here after I publish that story! So I am forced to split up my story into parts because for some odd reason my post/story is too long! Honestly, I think the real reason is that the computer that I am using is just way too slow! This is my predictions to win and lose for right now in a story/post from my personal website for the late Sunday afternoon, Sunday Night and Monday Night games in regular season Week 17: https://ogeagleet852.wixsite.com/evantroxel/single-post/nfl-2025-26-week-17-2-regular-season-predictions
