It's not too hard to tell which teams will be motivated by a possible playoff berth in Week 17.

The Ravens also need to win and are a 6-point favorite, and you should get a load of the Pats line. |

Ryan's first round has several surprises, including the Raiders' third pick. |

Dave also has some waiver-wire pickups you'll want to see (surprise: one's a Rams RB). |
