NFL Pick'Em: Week 16, 2013

AP3

Miami -2.5 over Buffalo

The Dolphins are still flying under the radar despite losing all kinds of starters to injury or bullying, but they have been in most games this year. I know Thad Lewis has already beaten them once this year, but I highly doubt that lightning strikes twice.

New Orleans +3 over Carolina

I’m sure a lot of folks are down on the Saints right now. Even though they are not the same team on the road as they are at home, the Drew Brees factor still makes them competitive to win anywhere. I like the Saints in this one because Carolina will kick field goals instead of scoring touchdowns again.

Dallas -3 over Washington

Lock Alert!

Because America needs it’s yearly week 17 Cowboys letdown.

St Louis +4 over Tampa Bay

The Rams have a chance to win out and get to .500 this year. Greg Schiano doesn’t have a chance at anything.

Chicago +3 over Philadelphia

It doesn’t matter to the Eagles, but it does to the Bears. That’s why Jay Cutler’s going to fuck it all up.

NY Jets -1.5 over Cleveland

Lock Alert!

The Jets aren’t that bad that if this game was in Cleveland it would be Browns +5.

Indianapolis +6.5 over Kansas City

Moneyline Special!!!

The Chiefs aren’t going to want t show anything as this is looking more and more like a first round playoff matchup. The Colts still have a shot to sneak into the 3 seed and avoid the Chiefs. Look for the Colts to score a lot of points today.

Cincinnati -8 over Minnesota

The Bengals were slightly embarrassed last week against the Steelers. Look for A.J. Green to be more involved and have 150+ yards receiving today as they light up the Vikings.

Houston +10 over Denver

Because like the Chiefs, the Broncos will also be playing vanilla football trying to avoid injuries at all costs. Besides, Manning will want to break all of the records next week at home anyway.

Tennessee -5 over Jacksonville

Seattle -10.5 over Arizona

Ain’t nobody gon beat the Seahawks in Seattle.

Detroit -10 over NY Giants

Bounce back game for the Lions this week. Giants Suck.

San Diego -10 over Oakland

Raiders suck.

Green Bay -2.5 over Pittsburgh

Because we all want to see the glimmer of hope that is left for the Packers to get into the playoffs and watch Aaron Rodgers trot out there against the Bears next week.

New England +1.5 over Baltimore

Lock Alert!

Because the Patriots don’t lose 2 games in a row, and because this is the most exciting game that they will have until next season. Pats fans, this is your Super Bowl.

San Francisco -14 over Atlanta

Last game at Candlestick Park. 49ers will be going out in style on Monday Night Football.

Last Week 5-10-1

Overall Record 98-120-8
Lock Alert Record 9-10

Moneyline Special Record 2-7

Buffalo +2.5 over Miami

I keep flip flopping on this game. On one hand the Dolphins could be prime for a let down and the Bills do play fairly well at home. But on the other hand the Bills suck and the Dolphins are fighting for a playoff spot. But there is also an ice storm warning in Buffalo. Just do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.

Carolina -3 over New Orleans

This game feels like Carolina needs it more just simply from a confidence standpoint.

Dallas -3 over Washington

Who the hell knows what to expect out of either of these teams. I'll lay the points and take the team still battling for a playoff spot.

Tampa Bay +4 over St Louis

Letdown game for the Rams.

Chicago +3 over Philadelphia

The lock of the week here is the over 55.5 in this one. This feels like a bigger game for the Bears with the Cowboys/Eagles Week 17 matchup on the horizon.

Cleveland +1.5 over NY Jets

Geno Smith finally had a good game last week, now he will come back to Earth.

Kansas City -6.5 over Indianapolis

The Colts are not a good football team. The Chiefs are going to come out really vanilla but should the Broncos slip up in the final two weeks the Chiefs can slide in and grab that #1 seed.

Cincinnati -8 over Minnesota

The Bengals defense is much better than the Eagles. They should roll through Matt Cassell and Asiata chicken.

Denver -10 over Houston

The Broncos should roll in this one, but look for Houston to throw the kitchen sink at the Broncos.

Jacksonville +5 over Tennessee

I don't like either of these teams so I'll take the home team getting the points.

Arizona +10.5 over Seattle

Lock Alert

The Cardinals are too good to lose by 11+ in a game that they need to win and that Seattle doesn't. The Seahawks should win outright but no chance they are covering this spread.

Detroit -10 over NY Giants

Both of these teams suck. I could see anything happening in this one but something tells me Megatron is going to be too much to handle.

San Diego -10 over Oakland

I'd love to see Phil Rivers and the Chargers in the playoffs. They should blow the Raiders out of the water especially since they beat them earlier in the year.

Pittsburgh +2.5 over Green Bay

Moneyline Special +105

People don't really think the Packers are good now do they? The Steelers are flat out the better team, and that's not saying much.

New England +1.5 over Baltimore

For a change the Pats have a chance to ruin the Ravens season and I think they will relish at that possibility.

San Francisco -14 over Atlanta

Who is going to watch this?

Last Week 7-8-1

Overall Record 105-113-8
Lock Alert Record 14-17

Moneyline Special Record 5-9
