Jay Gruden Cincinnati OC, Age 47 in 2014 Gruden has done a fantastic job in Cincinnati getting the most out of Andy Dalton as their offensive coordinator, since taking over in 2011. He’s drawn the respect of the rest of the league and has been considered for head coaching jobs…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers at Green Bay Packers: 2013 Week 16 NFL Pick
Pittsburgh Steelers (5-9) at Green Bay Packers (7-6-1) Aaron Rodgers is out for this one and, given that, it’s a little absurd that the Packers are favorites here at home. The Steelers are better than their 6-8 record. They’ve just been killed by a 1-5 record in games decided by…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears at Philadelphia Eagles: 2013 Week 16 NFL Pick
Chicago Bears (8-6) at Philadelphia Eagles (8-6) The Eagles are a better team than the Bears. In terms of rate of moving the chains differential, they’re about equal. The Eagles are moving the chains at a 73.73% rate, as opposed to 73.78% for their opponents, a differential of -0.05% that…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns at New York Jets: 2013 Week 16 NFL Pick
Cleveland Browns (4-10) at New York Jets (6-8) Ordinarily, I don’t like betting on games in which both teams have been eliminated from the playoffs, because you never know what their individual motivations are. Sure, they’re probably going to continue trying because the majority of the individual players are playing…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos at Houston Texans: 2013 Week 16 NFL Pick
Denver Broncos (11-3) at Houston Texans (2-12) This is another one I’m completely split on. On one hand, the Broncos have no distractions upcoming that would distract them from be able to dominate a lesser opponent here and cover the spread. After this one, they just have to go to…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts at Kansas City Chiefs: 2013 Week 16 NFL Pick
Indianapolis Colts (9-5) at Kansas City Chiefs (11-3) I’m completely split on this one. Not only do I not have a convincing argument for either side, but both of these two teams are essentially locked in to their current seed. Kansas City would need Denver to lose to either Houston…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins: 2013 Week 16 NFL Pick
Washington Redskins (3-11) at Dallas Cowboys (7-7) At first glance, this line doesn’t make any sense. In what universe are the Cowboys 6 points better than the Redskins (3 points for home field advantage)? The Cowboys’ defense not only is the worst defense in the NFL, but it’s approaching historically…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders at San Diego Chargers: 2013 Week 16 NFL Pick
Oakland Raiders (4-10) at San Diego Chargers (7-7) Both of these teams are in bad spots this week and both of those have to do with Denver. Oakland has to deal with Denver next week so they might not be completely focused for the Chargers here, at least not enough…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at St. Louis Rams: 2013 Week 16 NFL Pick
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-10) at St. Louis Rams (6-8) Since 1989, there have been 25 instances of a team winning by 17 or more despite losing the first down battle by 9 or more. The Rams have done that 3 times this season alone. Teams are 6-19 ATS off of…
