Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars at New Orleans Saints: 2015 Week 16 NFL Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars (5-9) at New Orleans Saints (5-9) This is another game that I don’t have a strong opinion on. Both of these teams are out of the playoffs and have comparable games on deck; the Saints are going to Atlanta and the Jaguars are going to Houston. The Saints…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers at Detroit Lions: 2015 Week 16 NFL Pick
San Francisco 49ers (4-10) at Detroit Lions (5-9) The Lions were favored by just 6.5 points over the 49ers on the early line last week and now they’re favored by 10. I love fading significant line movements whenever it makes sense as they tend to be overreactions to a single…

Cincinnati Bengals (11-3) at Denver Broncos (10-4) The Brock Osweiler era got off to a good start in Denver, but his play has regressed in recent weeks, to the point where the difference in their offense’s efficiency between Osweiler starting and when a hobbled, aged Peyton Manning was starting early…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans at Tennessee Titans: 2015 Week 16 NFL Pick
Houston Texans (7-7) at Tennessee Titans (3-11) The line has finally been released for this one. I was hoping that if Brian Hoyer were ruled out for the 2nd straight week with a concussion that the Texans would be underdogs, as that would have opened up two very powerful trends.…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals: 2015 Week 16 NFL Pick
Green Bay Packers (10-4) at Arizona Cardinals (12-2) The Cardinals rank first in the NFL in rate of moving the chains differential, despite having a couple losses. In those 2 losses, they won the first down battle by a combined 20 first downs and only lost because they had a…

Continue reading →: St. Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks: 2015 Week 16 NFL Pick
St. Louis Rams (6-8) at Seattle Seahawks (9-5) The Seahawks’ home dominance is well documented. Since 2007, they are 55-23 at home (outscoring opponents by an average of 7.88 points per game), as opposed to 31-45 on the road (getting outscored by an average of 1.72 points per game). However,…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts at Miami Dolphins: 2015 Week 16 NFL Pick
Indianapolis Colts (6-8) at Miami Dolphins (5-9) The Colts have really fallen apart in the last 3 weeks, losing all 3 games by a combined final score of 112-36. Luckily for them, they face one of the worst teams in the NFL this week, a Miami Dolphins team that ranks…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers at Baltimore Ravens: 2015 Week 16 NFL Pick
Pittsburgh Steelers (9-5) at Baltimore Ravens (4-10) The Steelers are in a great spot here. While the Ravens head to Cincinnati to play the Ravens next week, the Steelers go to Cleveland to face the Browns, a far easier opponent. The early lines have the Ravens as 10 point underdogs…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns at Kansas City Chiefs: 2015 Week 16 NFL Pick
Cleveland Browns (3-11) at Kansas City Chiefs (9-5) I’m really torn on this one. On one hand, the Chiefs are in a much better spot than the Browns. While the Chiefs close their season out with a home game against the Raiders, a game in which they’re expected to be…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers at Atlanta Falcons: 2015 Week 16 NFL Pick
Carolina Panthers (14-0) at Atlanta Falcons (7-7) The Panthers are 14-0, but that doesn’t mean they’ll take their foot off the gas, at least not this week and possibly not at all, as they attempt a perfect season. This week, they’re actually still playing for playoff seeding, as 2 straight…
