Bengals @ Texans -3.5  
Lions @ Saints -11 
Falcons @ Giants -3.5
Steelers @ Broncos +7.5


Week 16
(home team in caps, favorite on left, pick is red, spreads as of 12/19/11)

Texans -5.5 COLTS
     -Have to think Houston wants to get back on track but they probably have nothing to play for in this game. They really need Baltimore to lose.

CHIEFS -1 Raiders
     -Raiders seem to have lost their mojo and Chiefs playing to get Crennel a job

Broncos -1.5 BILLS
     -Really? Seems cheap given that this i a must win for the Broncos and Buffalo is terrible.

TITANS -7 Jaguars
     -I accept ANY chance to bet against Gabbert

BENGALS -4 Cardinals    
     -Must win for the Bengals, but Might be a tough one. Anyone notice how well MY BOY Skelton is doing?

PATRIOTS -9.5 Dolphins 
     -They can SMELL BLOOD...in this case that is the No. 1 seed.

RAVENS -13 Browns
    -After San Fran saved their bacon by beating Pittsburgh Monday night, RAVENS CRUSH opponents next two games. 

JETS -3 Giants
     -Have to take a field goal in a must-win game and a grudge match.

REDSKINS -6.5 Vikings
     -WOW! Vikings do stink.

PANTHERS -8.5 Buccaneers 
     -Hmmmmm, Cam vs. Josh for years to come? I'll take Cam in this one.

LIONS -1.5 Chargers
     -Tough game but Lions can lock up a playoff berth this week at Ford Field.

49ers -1 SEAHAWKS  
     -Seems low given San Fran must win out to get No. 2 seed.

COWBOYS -1 Eagles
    -I have NO idea in this one. But I think Vick and the Eagles turn the ball over and Dallas plays a strong all-around game.

SAINTS -6.5 Falcons 
     -Wow, do I hate betting against Brees in the Dome, but they usually play close games.

PACKERS -12.5 Bears 
      -They will be pissed off after last week and will WANT to prove themselves. Also want to officially lock up that No. 1 seed that they have earned this season. 

STEELERS -14  Rams
     -No Big Ben...I think Pitt rests him until the WC round because they don't see Balt losing again. They'll most likely draw Denver in round 1 and then travel to Foxboro in the Divisionals. Can you say Steelers @ Ravens AFC Championship?
