2023 Season: Week 16 Picks

Thursday, December 21st

New Orleans Saints @ Los Angeles Rams
Winner: LA Rams
Wager: 3
Thoughts: First game of the week with two teams I feel are better than their record shows, fighting for a playoff spot. I'll go with the home team in a tightly fought contest.

Saturday, December 23rd

Cincinnati Bengals @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Pick: Cincy
Wager: 5
Thoughts: Steelers are failing apart. Even without Burrow, Cincy seems to find ways to win. Won't be any different here.

Buffalo Bills @ Los Angeles Chargers
Pick: Buffalo
Wager: 14
Thoughts: As much as I'd love to be wrong here, Buffalo looked back on form versus Dallas while the Chargers let the Raiders...the RAIDERS score 63 on them. Going to be another long day for Charger fans

Sunday, December 24th

Indianapolis Colts @ Atlanta Falcons
Pick: Indy
Wager: 9
Thoughts: Still can't stand the Cun....olts but they are also finding ways to win while Atlanta is just...well Atlanta.

Seattle Seahawks @ Tennessee Titans
Pick: Seattle
Wager: 12
Thoughts: Yes, I went against my #2 but the only reason they were my number 2 was Tannehill and he's benched so I'm going with the team that knocked of the Eagles last week and will be looking to stay in the playoff hunt.

Detroit Lions @ Minnesota Vikings
Pick: Detroit
Wager: 6
Thoughts: Sorry Dustin but the Vikings are just too inconsistent. Lions will be looking to lock up the division and actually stay in the discussion for top seeding.

Washington Commanders @ New York Jets
Pick: NY Jets
Wager: 2
Thoughts: The only real winners are the people who don't have to sit through this snore fest. The worst defense in the league versus the worst offense in the league.

Green Bay Packers @ Carolina Panthers
Pick: Green Bay
Wager: 13
Thoughts: Carolina is terrible, and I believe GB still has a chance at a playoff run.

Cleveland Browns @ Houston Texans
Pick: Cleveland
Wager: 10
Thoughts: Still no Stroud for Texans against a tough Browns defense and an offense that seems to be rolling with Flacco.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Pick: Jacksonville
Wager: 4
Thoughts: Jacksonville seems to be slipping but the Buccs aren't very good and should enable the Jags to right their ship.

Arizona Cardinals @ Chicago Bears
Pick: Chicago
Wager: 11
Thoughts: Both teams aren't very good, but I think the Bears are better.

Dallas Cowboys @ Miami Dolphins
Pick: Miami
Wager: 16
Thoughts: Maybe I'm crazy but Dallas is terrible on the road versus teams with winning records, getting destroyed by the 49ers and Bills. They've also shown not to have a good run defense, while we have two of the hottest RBs is Mostert and Achane. Time to finally beat a team with a winning record and show we are playoff contenders!

New England Patriots @ Denver Broncos
Pick: Denver
Wager: 8
Thoughts: Despite getting creamed by the Lions last week, I still think Russ is getting into a groove and will push the ponies over the Pats. (Never thought I'd see the day the Patriots were one of the worst teams in the league)

Monday, December 25th

Las Vegas Raiders @ Kansas City Chiefs
Pick: Kansas City
Wager: 15
Thoughts: Kansas City has the division in their sights and are possibly looking for that number one seed if they get a little help from Dallas and San Fran. They aren't going to let the lowly Raiders beat them. Congrats on another AFC West crown.

New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles
Pick: Philly
Wager: 7
Thoughts: The Eagles are in a tailspin and have the Cowboys nipping at their heels. They can't afford to be upset by the Giants.

Baltimore Ravens @ San Francisco 49ers
Pick: San Fran
Wager: 1
Thoughts: This has already been referred to as a possible Superbowl preview. I'm not completely sold that Baltimore is the best in the AFC but there's no doubt San Fran is the best in the NFC maybe even the NFL. Win or lose, this will show me what Baltimore is really made of before Miami plays them next week with the number 1 seed possibly on the line.

Tie Breaker(If Needed)
Total Combined Score of Ravens Vs 49ers: 45
