Our week sixteen NFL picks VS the spread
Buffalo VS Miami (-3)
The Bills would love to play spoiler to the hopeful ‘Phins this week. Buffalo has nothing on the line but pride and their starting quarterback is on the shelf. Miami could still make it to the post-season with a few breaks.
Colin’s pick: Miami -3
Reidy’s pick: Miami -3
Snyder’s pick: Buffalo +3
Scott’s pick: Miami -3
New Orleans @ Carolina (-3)
This is a HUGE game with far reaching playoff implications. The Saints look to bounce back from a weak performance in week 15 while the Panthers look to keep things rolling at home.
Colin’s pick: New Orleans +3
Reidy’s pick: New Orleans +3
Snyder’s pick: Saints +3
Scott’s pick: New Orleans +3
Washington VS Dallas (-3)
The Cowboys should be dead in the water but they’re not – at least not yet. With a win they can maintain a slight edge over Philly in the East. With a loss they lose control of their fate.
Colin’s pick: Washington +3
Reidy’s pick: Dallass -3
Snyder’s pick: Dallas -3
Scott’s pick: Washington +3
Tampa Bay @ St. Louis (-4.5)
Two tough also-rans battle Sunday in what should be a low-scoring defensive battle.
Colin’s pick: Tampa Bay +4.5
Reidy’s pick: St. Louis +4.5
Snyder’s pick: Stl -4.5
Scott’s pick: St. Louis -4.5
Chicago @ Philadelphia (-3)
Wheeee! We’re talking fun – and fantasy points when these two high flying offenses and crappy defenses match up on Sunday night. Should be a gem.
Colin’s pick: Chicago +3
Reidy’s pick: Philadelphia -3
Snyder’s pick: Chicago +3
Scott’s pick: Chicago +3
Cleveland @ NY Jets (-2)
It’s pretty sad that they have to play this game when you think about it
Colin’s pick: Cleveland +2
Reidy’s pick: NY Jest -2
Snyder’s pick: Jets -2
Scott’s pick: NY Jets -2
These two squads are likely to hook up again in the first round of the playoffs so it’s tough to say whether either will go all-in for a win here.
Indianapolis @ Kansas City (-6.5)
Colin’s pick: Kansas City -6.5
Reidy’s pick: Indy +6.5
Snyder’s pick: Indy +6.5
Scott’s pick: Kansas City -6.5
Minnesota @ Cincinnati (-8)
Cincy needs a win over Minnesota this weekend and with Minnesota coming to town they are likely to get one. Will it be by more than a TD?
Colin’s pick: Cincinnati -8
Reidy’s pick: Cincinnati -8
Snyder’s pick: Minnesota +8
Scott’s pick: Minnesota +8
Houston VS Denver (-10.5)
Matt Schaub is BACK! Should be a monster day for the Broncos offense in this one. Will Manning break Brady’s TD record?
Colin’s pick: Denver -10.5
Reidy’s pick: Denver -10.5
Snyder’s pick: Denver -10.5
Scott’s pick: Denver -10.5
Jacksonville VS Tennessee (-5)
Two division rivals play for little more than pride this week in Nashville. The Jaguars have looked like an actual NFL team the last few weeks. Can they keep it up?
Colin’s pick: Tennessee -5
Reidy’s pick: Tennessee -5
Snyder’s pick: Jax +5
Scott’s pick: Tennessee -5
Arizona @ Seattle (-10.5)
Seattle is at home this week. That means that they will be nearly impossible to beat – especially for a gimpy Carson Palmer who may be without Larry Fitzgerald.
Colin’s pick: Seattle -10.5
Reidy’s pick: Seattle -10.5
Snyder’s pick: Seattle -10.5
Scott’s pick: Seattle -10.5
NY Giants @ Detroit (-9)
The Lions absolutely, positively must win on Sunday in order to stay n a 3-team race with Green Bay and Chicago for the black and blue division.
Colin’s pick: MY Giants +9
Reidy’s pick: Detroit -9
Snyder’s pick: Detroit -9
Scott’s pick: Detroit -9
Oakland @ San Diego (-10)
The Raiders have shown that they will fight hard every week and still lose. The Chargers still have a playoff heartbeat – but a faint one.
Colin’s pick: Oakland +10
Reidy’s pick: San Diego -10
Snyder’s pick: San Diego -10
Scott’s pick: Oakland +10
Pittsburgh VS Green Bay (-2.5)
Aaron Rodgers will not play. Green Bay is alive for a playoff spot. Pittsburgh is not.
Colin’s pick: Green Bay -2.5
Reidy’s pick: Pittsburgh +2.5
Snyder’s pick: Pittsburgh +2.5
Scott’s pick: Pittsburgh +2.5
New England @ Baltimore (-2.5)
The Patriots have not been underdogs since they played Denver and we all know what happened then.
Colin’s pick: New England +2.5
Reidy’s pick: New England +2.5
Snyder’s pick: New England +2.5
Scott’s pick: New England +2.5
Atlanta @ San Francisco (-12.5)
The Niners are racing toward the post-season and looking good on the way. This week they host the Falcons who seem to have quit already. But can SF cover the 12.5?
Colin’s pick: Atlanta +12.5
Reidy’s pick: San Francisco -12.5
Snyder’s pick: San Francisco -12.5
Scott’s pick: Atlanta +12.5
