NFL Week 16 Picks
My straight picks were 2-3 last week, and I missed on the teaser. I am now 45-60, -11.8 units for the season. It was Week 16 last year when a desperate play swung me from loss to profit. We're going to swing for the fences again this week.
Tennessee -7.5 vs. Jacksonville: This Titans team, despite losing to the Colts last week, isn't bad at all. The Jaguars? Oh yeah, they're bad.
New England -9.5 vs. Miami: Patriots are hitting their stride.
Carolina -7.5 vs Tampa Bay: Bucs are playing out the string, Panthers are energized by their enormous (and enormously talented) young quarterback.
San Diego +3 at Detroit: I expect this game to be very close, so I want the points.
New Orleans -4 vs. Atlanta: Punishing a rogue line here.
Now, for the Hail Mary. Taking every three-team combo of these seven games. That's 35 bets paying 1.8 to 1. Counting on the teased pointspreads to carry me to a tsunami of win.
Oakland +8 at Kansas City
Buffalo +8.5 vs. Denver
Tennessee -1.5
Carolina -1.5
San Diego +8
Seattle +8.5 vs. San Francisco
Philadelphia +7.5 at Dallas
