NFL: Week 16 Picks

We are in the second last week of the season. Man, this NFL season has flown by! In the next two weeks the final playoff spots will be decided, so there are some crucial games coming up.

Here are some of the headlines from week 15:
- The Atlanta Falcons exercised some demons in trouncing the New York Giants at the Georgia Dome by a score of 34-0.
- The Washington Redskins continued their winning ways and now have created a log jam atop the NFC East with the Cowboys and the Giants, all with a record of 8-6.
- The New England Patriots fell just short of an unbelievable comeback to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night, as it was the Niners who got out of Foxboro with a big win.
- Adrian Peterson ran all over the Rams with 212 yards rushing, leaving him only 294 yards behind Eric Dickerson's 2,105 mark. Peterson has the staunch Texans' defense (#5 in stopping the run) this week followed by the Packers in week 17.

Last week was a mediocre 10/16 but this week will be a rebound week. Here are our NFL Week 16 Picks...


Atlanta Falcons* over Detroit Lions (Saturday nighter)
Carolina Panthers over Oakland Raiders
Buffalo Bills* over Miami Dolphins
Cincinnati Bengals* over Pittsburgh Steelers
New England Patriots* over Jacksonville Jaguars
Indianapolis Colts* over Kansas City Chiefs
New Orleans Saints* over Dallas Cowboys
Washington Redskins* over Philadelphia Eagles
Tampa Bay Buccaneers over St. Louis Rams
San Diego Chargers* over New York Jets
Green Bay Packers over Tennessee Titans
Houston Texans over Minnesota Vikings
Denver Broncos over Cleveland Browns
Chicago Bears* over Arizona Cardinals
New York Giants* over Baltimore Ravens
San Francisco 49ers* over Seattle Seahawks (Sunday nighter)

- * indicates road team (11/16 this week)
- 6/10 correct road picks last week
- ________ indicates bold pick

There are a number of key divisional match-ups this week (Bills @ Dolphins, Bengals @ Steelers, Redskins @ Eagles, 49ers @ Seahawks). These games should be tough fought and close. The bold pick of the week is the New York Giants defeating the Baltimore Ravens in Maryland. The Giants are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Falcons and should bounce back in a big way. I also like the Redskins to knock off the Eagles in Philly and the Saints to beat the Cowboys in Dallas, meaning the 'Skins and Giants will be tied for top spot in the NFC East heading into the final week.


Enjoy the games folks!
