Week 16 NFL Picks

Last week: 9 – 6 – 1

Season total: 111 – 109 – 4 (Are these adding up?)

Sports Meister: 117 – 104 – 3 (I should make a GPA joke right about now)

Sports Guy: 115 – 104 – 4 (What a late season drop-off. That’s what the NBA does to Simmons.)

Chargers (-3.5) over Titans

Even Chris Johnson can’t stop Rivers in December. Can Norv Turner finally make some playoff noise?

Bills (+9.5) over Falcons

Let the Brian Brohm era commence. For the love of all things holy, throw for 300 yards! For those that are not enlightened, the Bills haven’t had a 300 yard passer in over 50 games. Seriously. Oh, and they’re probably going to become the first team in 30 years to not have a 2000 yard passer, 1000 yard rusher, or 1000 yard receiver. It’s miserable.

Bengals (-13.5) over Chiefs

If I were actually betting this, I’d probably take Kansas City. Something tells me Cincy is due for a letdown game. But the safe pick is the safe pick.

Raiders (+3) over Browns

Is there anything more random than Jerome Harrison going off for 286 yards last week? I’ve never seen a baby do that before.

Packers (-14) over Seahawks

Is there an Aaron Rodgers fan-club? If so, would one kind soul send me the appropriate literature? Thanks.

Texans (+2) over Dolphins

Both teams need this game to be playoff sniffing come week 17, so I will stick with my preseason guns and try to pick Houston again. They’re killing me, but I’ll go down with the ship. Two rookie corners versus Schaub/Johnson.

Patriots (-9.5) over Jaguars

Tis the season for the Grinch (Bill/Tommy) to do their winning end of season ways. Despite the excellence of the Colts and Bolts, does anyone want to face the Patriots on the path to Miami?

Saints (-13.5) over Yucks

The Saints need a statement game following their loss to Dallas. Luckily for them, Tampa is a greasy hangover snack.

Giants (-8) over Panthers

The Giants have been rooted in turmoil and struggle all year but finally might have it clicking when they need it most. GGGGGG-MEN!

Ravens (+3) over Steelers

I’m excited about this game. Huge divisional rivalry with playoff implications. Good stuff. No, great stuff.

Cardinals (-15) over Rams

I would rather be a Bills fan that have to root for St. Louis. It is that bad.

Lions (+14) over 49ers

You don’t try to blow up a plane to Detroit. You just don’t do it!  Let’s go Lions!!

Colts (-5) over Jets

Listen folks, the Colts want desperately to go undefeated. They hate the Patriots and want to steal anything they may have. They’ll loot and plunder New England’s place in history by any means possible. Behind those Gandhi appearances, Caldwell and Manning more accurately resemble Attila the Hun.

Eagles (-7) over Broncos

Andy Reid was so busy prepping for this game that he ignored his level 80 Night Elf for over 48 hours. Beware the Eagle NFC.

Cowboys (-7) over Redskins

I will take January 22nd in the Mike Shanahan to Washington pool.

Vikings (-7) over Bears

Brett Favre with late seaon drama. YOU DON’T SAY!
