Week 16 Picks: So Close

12/23/2015

 
Last Week: 12-4
Season: 137-87
​

Thursday Night



Chargers at Raiders

The Chargers got up for their last game (ever?) in San Diego, or as “up” as a team needs to be in order to beat the putrid Dolphins. The Raiders look like a good team with some promising young players and a (GASP!) bright future. Winner: Raiders

 
Saturday Night

Eagles (Home)

I hope that the visiting team wins this game and locks up the NFC East title. It’s just the embarrassment that the league deserves. Loser: Eagles


 
Sunday


49ers at Lions

A meaningless game, but one the Lions should be able to win. Winner: Lions

 
Steelers at Ravens

Pride will bring out the maximum effort from the home team, but the talent gap will make this the least dramatic game of one of the league’s best rivalries. Winner: Steelers

 
Cowboys at Bills

The Bills are better, but their lack of discipline might help the Cowboys hang around in this meaningless contest. Winner: Bills

 
Bears at Buccaneers

Just a hunch, but the Bears will squeak out  a close one with nothing to play for. Winner: Bears

 
Panthers at Falcons

Carolina now finds itself in the interesting position of wanting to keep winning and playing their style of football, while worrying about how a key injury could potentially wreck the whole thing. A better team than the Falcons might take advantage of the situation. Winner: Panthers

 
Colts at Dolphins

As bad as the Colts are, I wouldn’t pick Miami against a high school team. Winner: Colts

 
Patriots at Jets

It’s almost comical how many key injuries the Pats have endured this season; to some of their more Neanderthalesque haters, it probably is comical. And yet, here they are, once again, at the top of the conference. (YAWN!) Winner: Patriots

 
Texans at Titans

Come on, Houston; let’s lock this thing down. They might be one-and-done come playoff time, but fans want to see JJ Watt in the postseason. Winner: Texans

 
Browns at Chiefs

Every day, and in every way, the Cleveland Browns suck. Winner: Chiefs

 
Jaguars at Saints

Sometimes it looks like the Jags’ offence can really get it done; other times, not so much. If they can’t score against New Orleans, then I don’t know what to say. Winner: Jaguars

 
Packers at Cardinals

I love this Cardinals team, so I was particularly bummed about Tyrann Mathieu’s injury as the team seems poised for a deep playoff run. If Green Bay’s offence was better, I’d look for them to take advantage of Mathieu’s absence, but it’s not and they won’t. Winner: Cardinals

 
Rams at Seahawks

Rams always seem to play the Seahawks extra hard, but they’ll come up well short of the mark this time. Winner: Seahawks

 
Giants at Vikings

Dear Giants’fans: Instead of looking for straw men to blame for OBD’s suspension, put the blame where it truly belongs, with the referee of the game, and with the Giants’ coaching staff, particularly Coughlin. If the ref had ejected Beckham when he should have, or the coaches had sat him down when they could have, the league wouldn’t have needed to suspend him. Earlier this season, I wrote about how I hoped that the Giants would win this division because they were the only team in it that wasn’t an embarrassment. I take it all back. This isn’t the NFC East the league needs, but it is the one the league deserves. Winner: (Go) Vikings (!)
 

Monday Night

Bengals at Broncos

This will be a defensive struggle, featuring two of the league’s top units. Unfortunately, McCarron’s noodle-arm does the Bengals in in this one. Winner: Broncos
