DLT'S Deadlocks - Week 17 NFL Picks 2015

New Year's Resolutions for all teams in the NFL.

Upset Sunday torpedoed my Christmas picks and gave me my second losing week of the season. With New Year's Eve tonight, I resolve to not suck as badly at picking NFL games next year.

As for the rest of the NFL, let's see what each team's resolutions should be.
