Week 16 Pick 'em

Week 16 picks. On time! I must be crazy, I only have TWO home teams winning next weekend. When's the last time that happened?
Indianapolis at Jacksonville - Last week I said Jacksonville wouldn’t win another game this season. This time I mean it. The Jags are too divided in the locker room to stop the Indy train.
Baltimore at Dallas - The uphill battle for Dallas continues. This one may end in heartbreak.
Cincinnati at Cleveland - Yuck, who cares?
New Orleans at Detroit - Seriously, I’m getting really excited about a total defeat season for the Lions. After that, I’ll feel sorry and root for them a little.
Miami at Kansas City - How ‘bout that effort from KC? I see this team improving immensely over the off-season. This won’t be their week either, as Miami has playoff dreams and the Chiefs don’t.
Arizona at New England – After a routing from a Minnesota team that should have been hindered offensively, it’s hard to have faith in the upstart Cardinals. However, looking at the points allowed by New England yesterday at Oakland, I could see this offensive juggernaut just outdoing the former/still kinda offensive juggernaut. Call it the Sexy Pick.
San Francisco at St. Louis- San Francisco + Shaun Hill = Wins, baby. Someone should kick Mike Martz for the bad QB call.
Pittsburgh at Tennessee – THIS is the game of the week, folks. It’s essentially a battle for Home field advantage (this site’s namesake!). It’s about time for Tennessee to meet a real defense.
San Diego at Tampa Bay – San Diego had a big win to stay alive (barely) yesterday, but can they go in and win at the hampered halls of Tampa? My guess is no.
Buffalo at Denver – Which Denver will show up next week? They’re at risk of losing a playoff spot that seemed guaranteed a couple of weeks ago, so they better start the winners.
Houston at Oakland – Sadly, it was impressive that Oakland scored 26 points yesterday. I believe that’s a season high. Houston’s win over Tennessee was much more impressive, however.
New York Jets at Seattle – A good effort from the Jets will keep the AFC North log-jammed.
Atlanta at Minnesota – Minnesota seems like they’re on a roll into the playoffs. Could Atlanta’s young, tough defense hold AP back?
Philadelphia at Washington – Philly’s on a hot streak. Washington is burying themselves in drama. I reserve the right to change my mind following MNF. I got a feeling.
Carolina at New York Giants – Maybe this is the game of the week. It’s also essentially for home field, and the NFC has been much more exciting this season. Of course, the Giants have also sucked lately.
Green Bay at Chicago – Green Bay crumbled. I blame the injuries.
