NFL Week 17 picks: Ravens top Dolphins in AFC thriller, Cowboys destroy Lions, Steelers lose in Seattle

Happy New Year everyone!

OK, so I just looked at my calendar and it seems that I’ve slightly jumped the gun here. It’s not Jan. 1 yet, but in my defense, I have no idea what day it is anymore and that’s mostly because I just spent Christmas weekend with a 3-year-old who ate nine pieces of candy before bed every night. I didn’t sleep. She didn’t sleep. No one slept. 

The fact that I lost track of the calendar probably also explains why these picks are coming out one day later than usual this week. 

Although it’s not the new year yet, it will be shortly after the Packers-Vikings game concludes on Sunday night. With New Year’s Eve right around the corner, I feel like now is a good time to talk about resolutions and I’d like you guys to know that my resolution for 2024 is to nail 100% of my picks. Sure, that’s a horrible resolution, but that mostly describes every resolution I’ve ever made in my life, so this is nothing new. 

Anyway, if your New Year’s resolution is to read more of the things that I write, you can do that by signing up for our daily NFL newsletter here at CBSSports.com. I’m in charge of it and if you want it in your inbox every weekday morning, all you have to do is click here and then enter your email address.  

My other resolution is to stop asking you guys to sign up for things. Alright, let’s get to the picks.

Detroit (11-4) at Dallas (10-5)

Saturday, 8:15 p.m. ET (ABC/ESPN)

First, I’d like to start off here by congratulating the Lions on winning their first division title in 30 years. Before this season, the last time they won a division title came in a division that doesn’t even exist anymore (NFC Central) and their two biggest fans were Axel Foley and Tim “The Toolman” Taylor, who aren’t even real people, so now that I’m thinking about it, maybe none of this happened at all. I don’t know what’s real anymore. 

One thing that is real, though, is…
