Line picks counted correct when the favored team wins; they do not
have to beat the spread to count as a win.
Pick results for week 16.
Unanimous picks (6-6)
Correctly picked:
- Colts @ Jaguars
- Saints @ Lions
- 49ers @ Rams
- Dolphins @ Chiefs
- Cardinals @ Patriots
- Panthers @ Giants
Not so much:
- Chargers @ Buccaneers
- The Buccaneers were in this one through 3 quarters, but gave up 3 touchdowns in the 4th, including a pick-6.
- Bengals @ Browns
- The Browns turned it over 4 times. Even the Bengals can get a win if you give them 4 extra chances at the ball.
- Jets @ Seahawks
- The Jets didn't look anything like a playoff team. After their opening drive, they only had one longer than 32 yards.
- Texans @ Raiders
- It would be easier to make the case that the Texans are under-rated if they didn't do this.
- Eagles @ Redskins
- The Eagles' offense goes back into hibernation. Only 2 drives more than 17 yards. One ended in a field goal, one ended just shy of a game-tying touchdown.
- Falcons @ Vikings
- The Vikings turn out to be overated at the #5 spot. Seven fumbles; four lost. The only surprise here is that the Falcons let them back into the game as much as they did.
Split Picks (APR 2-2) (SRS 3-1) (Line 1-3)
- Ravens (APR, SRS) @ Cowboys (Line)
- Have the Ravens have been playing a little under the radar this year? All their losses been to high-ranked teams, and only 2 by more than 4 points. Not bad for a rookie QB and a 1st year head coach.
- Bills (SRS) @ Broncos (APR, Line)
- Steelers (APR, Line) @ Titans (SRS)
- SRS makes up some ground! SRS is also 5-0 so far on Bowl picks...
- Packers (SRS) @ Bears (APR, Line)
- Packers have had a 4th-quarter lead in 6 of their 10 losses, and were tied in two others. Somebody on this team needs to figure out how to seal the deal.
