Sorry about not posting Week Fifteen picks. Something called real life, and a matter called work dominated my time.
SATURDAY'S GAMES
RAVENS -13 1/2 (Colts)
This game has all the makings of a blow out. Lay the points and fly with the Ravens. Baltimore (8-6) is still playing must win football. And luckily for them, Joe Flacco is playing like a top flight quarterback again. Baltimore is 5-2 over their last seven games in which they've averaged 30.7 points per game, while allowing only 15.2 points per game (with two shutouts). The Colts on the other hand have gone just 1-6 over the same span. Despite allowing a modest 20.8 points per game, Indy's Andrew Luck-less offense has averaged just 15.1 points per game. The Colts (3-11) are serious contenders for next year's overall number one NFL draft selection, and so there's no sense in letting pride get in the way of another futile effort.
Loss 23-16 Ravens

Vikings -9 (PACKERS)
Having already clinched the division title, I'm sure Minnesota still wants to author a strong finish to their season regardless of this week's sweater weather forecast in Green Bay. The Vikings better bring their earplugs as well. It was Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr who broke Aaron Rogers' collar bone with a hit back in Week Six, which essentially derailed the Packers season. Despite a brief comeback, Rogers has officially been shut down for the remainder of the season. In other words, the Packers have thrown up the white flag. Oh, and Mike McCarthy is the most overrated head coach in the NFL. Just saying...
WIN 16-0 Vikings

Good luck, and Happy Holiday!
