Preacher’s Week Seventeen Picks


Week seventeen.  Yeesh!  How time has flown by.  It all comes down to this.

It’s been a busy week in the life of a preacher - Christmas services, family in town for the holidays.  Still, I have one weekend left to settle the year’s percentage, and I need to make it a good one.  I had a laugher last week, but let’s not talk about that!

Bucs?  Yeah, I know.  I can’t get excited about our chances.  We need Philly to win at 4pm, and they lose their shot at the playoffs if we win our 1pm kickoff.  So, if we beat the Raiders (amazing that I would use the word ‘if’ there, I know, but these last few weeks have me scratching my head), we take away most all of Philly’s motivation.  Stinks, eh?  Still, I think it’s a possibility.  We might just back in.

Pennington’s revenge.  Watch for it.  Favres swan song.  Watch for it.  Donovan gets the last laugh this year over T.O.  Watch for it.  Oh, and the Lions… you guessed it - their the champs of futility!

Falcons over Rams; Ravens over Jaguars; Patriots over Bills; Bengals over Chiefs; Packers over Lions; Texans over Bears; Colts over Titans; Vikings over Giants; Saints over Panthers; Dolphins over Jets; Eagles over Cowboys; Bucs over Raiders; Steelers over Browns; Cardinals over Seahawks; Niners over Redskins; Chargers over Broncos.  And, there you have it!

About Darin:

Darin Shaw has served as the Senior Pastor at Christ's Church of Amherst, N.H., since January 2000. He's written a few blurbs, led a few projects and produced a few cool things over the years. The very best of what he's produced are four wonderful girls - Amanda, Katie, Becky and Emily - he managed to pull that off along with his lovely wife Shari. Together they all live in a red house surrounded by lots of trees in the same community with lots of really great people. He is known to hang out on Sunday mornings with people of a much higher caliber than he, and counts that among life's greatest privileges. Then, on Sunday afternoons, Darin and his family settle in for the full slate of NFL games, shouting loudest when the Buccaneers take the field.

Key Stats: 6-2, 240 ... 16-year veteran of Pastoral Ministry out of Florida Bible College and Southwestern Bible College and Theological Seminary ... Boasts of being able to count on one hand the number of Buccaneers games he has missed (either having been there in person, watched on television, or listened to the radio) since they entered the NFL in 1976. ... Sports a lifetime 74 percent accuracy in NFL prognostication ... Certifiable Jesus freak; loving husband; devoted father; zealous blogger.
