NFL Week 16 Predictions
| Away | Home | Comments | Pick | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Last week: 9-7 (56.3%), Season total: 149 ½-74 (66.7%) | ||||
 Colts(10-4) |
 Jaguars(5-9) |
I think experience will push the Colts to victory (and a certain playoff spot) this week. | |
|
 Ravens(9-5) |
 Cowboys(9-5) |
As much as I like the story of the Ravens season this year… I think the Cowboys will continue to win, and they have to if they want to hold on to their playoff spot. | |
|
 49ers(5-9) |
 Rams(2-12) |
The Rams could probably win this game, but I don’t feel too comfortable picking a 2-12 team. | |
|
 Falcons(9-5) |
 Vikings(9-5) |
The Falcons have had a great (and unexpected) season, but with the Vikings poised to clinch the NFC North with a win this week, the Falcons may just miss the playoffs. | |
|
 Bengals(2-11-1) |
 Browns(4-10) |
It’s a toss up, but I’m going to pick the Bengals based on the performance (or lack thereof) that QB Ken Dorsey and the Browns put on last week in Philly. | |
|
 Steelers(11-3) |
 Titans(12-2) |
Going without Albert Haynesworth may be the difference this week. | |
|
 Dolphins(9-5) |
 Chiefs(2-12) |
The Dolphins have a legitimate shot at an AFC wild card spot, but need to keep winning to keep their hopes alive. | |
|
 Eagles(8-5-1) |
 Redskins(7-7) |
Even if Philadelphia wins out this year, that tie to the Bengals earlier this year will come back to haunt them. | |
|
 Panthers(11-3) |
 Giants(11-3) |
The Giants need to get back on track heading into the playoffs… and what better team to do it against than the playoff-bound Panthers? | |
|
 Saints(7-7) |
 Lions(0-14) |
If the Saints blow this one (even though they’re out of the playoffs) I’m sure I won’t be the only disappointed NFL fan. I want to see 0-16! | |
|
 Cardinals(8-6) |
 Patriots(9-5) |
The Cardinals have been terrible on the east coast this season. | |
|
 Jets(9-5) |
 Seahawks(3-11) |
The Jets control their own destiny and will win the AFC East… as long as they win their next 2 games. | |
|
 Texans(7-7) |
 Raiders(3-11) |
So, the Texans are starting to play like the team people were expecting this year… too little, too late. | |
|
 Bills(6-8) |
 Broncos(8-6) |
The Broncos can clinch the AFC West with a win, and I think they’ll do just that against the struggling Bills. | |
|
 Chargers(6-8) |
 Buccaneers(9-5) |
Tampa Bay currently holds one of the NFC wild card spots, but they need to win this one if they want to hold onto it. | |
|
 Packers(5-9) |
 Bears(8-6) |
If the Packers can win their next 2 games, it might erase some of the pain that the last few weeks has induced. | |
|
With 2 weeks left in this year’s regular season, playoff seeds are really starting to take shape… this week could be make or break for several teams on the bubble. See also: this week’s ESPN Expert Picks.
