In The NFL: Week 16
It's week 16 in the NFL and things are slowly falling into place regarding the playoffs. There are a lot of good games this weekend, so lets just get right to the point. Jump. This weekend's best:
Ravens (9-5) at Dallas (9-5): Even with Dallas playing defense well lately, we like the Ravens offense to outdo them, in what will likely be game of the week.
Steelers (11-3) at Tennessee (12-2): Both teams use defense as their crutch at most parts of the season (Tennessee being the exception earlier on), but Pittsburgh shuts offenses down completely, and if their offense decides to show up for at least one drive, they tend to win that situation more times than not.
Panthers (11-3) at New York (11-3): The Giants aren't looking as good as everyone thought they would when ESPN started predicting an all NY SB a few weeks ago, but they're at home and the Panthers don't play well on the road.
Falcons (9-5) at Minnesota (9-5): This will be an interesting game to watch for the two or three Tarvaris Jackson lovers out there. He's shaken things up the past two weeks though, & if he can continue his hot streak (or simply ride the purple Jesus wave) the Vikings can take this game away decisively.
Cardinals (8-6) at New England (9-5): The Cardinals really have nothing to lose as far as a playoff berth is concerned, but their recent blowout loses to the Eagles & Vikings have probably disheartened their fans enough for them to want to show everyone that they're a team to fear in January.
The rest of our Week 16 picks:
Bengals (2-11-1) at Cleveland (4-10)
Saints (7-7) at Detroit (0-14)
49ers (5-9) at St. Louis (2-12)
