Schmear of the Week: 8-6
Bagels in the Basket: -18
Attention all Wild Card contenders, it looks as if you'll need ten wins to qualify.
WEEK SIXTEEN
Friday Line ~ NYDN
Chargers -7 (JETS)
Josh McCown was the Jets. Bryce Petty is in the saddle now. Can you say - three and out? That should afford Philip Rivers a few more offensive possessions to work with.
PUSH 14-7 Chargers
CARDINALS -3 1/2 (Giants)
Dare I say the Giants can actually win this game ... but I doubt it. I'll stick with the trend.
WIN 23-0 Cardinals
Lions -5 (BENGALS)
Not the cat fight this could have been. The Lions are in a must win situation, while the Bengals have nothing to lose (except their head coach).
Loss 26-17 Bengals
Rams -7 (TITANS)
The Titans aren't ready for this yet. Rams will demonstrate much more polish.
Loss 27-23 Rams
BEARS -6 1/2 (Browns)
The Toilet Bowl - Can the Browns really finish the season without a win?
WIN 20-3 Bears
PANTHERS -10 (Bucs)
The Panthers seem to have finally gotten over their catnip hangover. They're peeking nicely at the right time.
Loss 22-19 Panthers
SAINTS -5 (Falcons)
Dome Sweet Dome ... I like the Saints in a shoot-out.
WIN 23-13 Saints
D.C. HOGS -3 1/2 (Broncos)
I say the Broncos lose by six. Notice I didn't say the Hogs win ...
WIN 27-11 Hogs
CHIEFS -10 1/2 (Dolphins)
That's a lot of points, but the Sea Mammals do not travel well. They'll be landlocked in Kansas City where the Chiefs still have a lot to prove.
WIN 29-13 Chiefs
PATRIOTS -12 (Bills)
Just looking for the Bills to give the Patriots a tough game. With any luck, and a turnover, they can cover.
WIN 37-16 Patriots
Jaguars -4 1/2 (49ERS)
The Jaguars will seek out and destroy Jimmy Garoppolo.
Loss 44-33 Niners
COWBOYS -5 (Seahawks)
I thought long and hard about this one. Seattle looks done. And Ezekiel Elliott's return won't help.
Loss 21-12 Seahawks
CHRISTMAS DAY
Steelers -9 (TEXANS)
Pitt slipped up big time last week in the closing minute against the Patriots. Nine points is a little bit of a stretch. Hopefully a late field goal gets this spread over.
WIN 34-6 Steelers
EAGLES -9 (Raiders)
The Eagles will soar to sure victory at home. It's not like things will suddenly go right for the Raiders.
PUSH 19-10 Eagles
Post Game:
Week Sixteen Record: 8-6-2
Overall Record: 86-104-6
Schmear of the Week: 8-7
Bagels in the Basket: -21
Attention all Wild Card contenders, it looks as if you'll need ten wins to qualify.
- AFC - The Baltimore Ravens (9-6) already won on Saturday. The heat is now on Buffalo, Tennessee, and Kansas City, to keep up. The Chargers can stay in the hunt with a victory over the Jets.
- NFC - As it stands entering Week Sixteen, both Wild Cards will emerge from the NFC South. Dallas, Detroit, and Seattle, are essentially playing must win games. However, all eyes are on Atlanta. If the Falcons slip, the pack will pounce.
Game of the Week I - Saints vs. Falcons
Game of the Week II - Cowboys vs. Seahawks
- Big news! Linebacker James Harrison was released by the Steelers. Don't be surprised if the Patriots pick him up.
- Will this be Marvin Lewis's last game in Cincinnati as head coach of the Bengals?
- Ezekiel Elliot is back in action for the Cowboys, and Jerry Jones still thinks he's a good general manager.
