NFL Picks - Week 16

Two weeks left in the regular season. That’s hard to believe. Last week was one of the best slate of games we’ve had all year, but not all of them lived up to the hype. Denver really smashed Baltimore, Atlanta pasted the Giants, and the Packers and Bears was an ugly affair. We did have some gems though with the Dallas OT win, the 49ers and Patriots in a game of streaks, and Houston and Indianapolis was pretty entertaining. Here are the updated pick standings:

Andrew – 1243 Points (144-79-1)

Greg – 1191 Points (136-87-1) – Winner of Week 15

The races I am watching this weekend are nearly all in the NFC. The Seahawks and 49ers play on Monday Night in a NFC West battle that could determine the champ (although San Francisco would have to lose next week also). The NFC East is the tightest division with 3 teams at 8-6. The Cowboys host the Saints, The Redskins play at Philly, and the Giants are at the Ravens. Those three games also affect the tight wildcard as Chicago and Minnesota are also at 8-6. The Bears are at Arizona and Minnesota goes to Houston. For the AFC, I’m looking at the second Wildcard spot with Cincinnati and Pittsburgh battling it out this week. The Bengals could actually catch the Ravens for the division crown (they play next week).

Below are our picks and confidence points for all the games. Play along in the comment section if you want:
