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…

Washington Redskins (3-11) at Dallas Cowboys (7-7) At first glance, this line doesn’t make any sense.
