Oh. OK, well like the SB in that they are statistically the two best teams right now.

Anyway, should be worth watching.

Seems like whenever they hype a close game, i.e., #1 Defense Vs #1 Offense, it’s usually either a dull boring game or a blowout that is equally boring.................

I don't care about any of this, but from what I've seen on the local news, I predict the Broncos won't win another game this season.

When I was at Domino's, it always amazed me how many people had a 'shrine' to John Elway and/or Peyton Manning and the Broncos in the front room of the house.

Hey Rain, appears you’re picking Bengals and the Ravens, and they’re playing each other.

Okay here we go on Week 16

Coming off an improved record for week 15 I went 12 & 4 and inched my batting average closer to .600 @ .594 I was at .670 after week 7 and have been going south ever since.
My picks:
SF OVER TEN Tonight
GB OVER CLE Christmas Day first game
IND OVER ARI Christmas Day second game
CIN OVER BAL
NE OVER BUF (I switched this one for Belichek home field)
DET OVER ATL (Momentum Lions & Atlanta trouble with home field)
NYJ OVER JAX (Another questionable call like the previous two. This is Jags best chance to 3 wins. Tank much?)
LAC OVER HOU
LAR OVER MIN
PHI OVER NYG
TB OVER CAR
SEA OVER CHI
LV OVER DEN
KC OVER PIT
DAL OVER WAS
MIA OVER NO

Team A #1 Offense Vs Team B #1 Defense

Usually it’s fun to watch when Team A has the ball.

But you need the rest of the story...

Team B #? Offense vs Team A #? Defense

Game itself depends on the rest of the story.

And that also means I missed entering DEN, because I deleted that one instead of BAL when I was entering everything.

And the rest of my picks...

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25TH 3:30 PM CST

Browns (7-7) – Packers (11-3). The Browns haven't broken 20 points in several weeks. And that is not enough to beat the Packers. Packers.

7:15 PM CST

Colts (8-6) – Cardinals (10-4). The Cardinals are stumbling and the Colts are rolling. A big dose of Taylor will keep Kyler Murray off the field and the Colts will eat up the clock. Colts.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 26TH 12:00 PM CST

Giants (4-10) – Eagles (7-7). Daniel Jones is out for the season and the Eagles are playing to get into the playoff field. Plus the Birds are at home. Eagles.

Rams (10-4) – Vikings (7-7). The Vikings always seem to find a way to lose and the Rams will make that easy for them to do. Rams.

Bills (8-6) – Patriots (9-5). After their stumbling and bumbling of the last six - seven weeks I cannot take the Bills. That, and Bill Belichick seems to have their number. Patriots.

Buccaneers (10-4) - Panthers (5-9). The Bucs were shutout last week?! OMG! But the Panthers are not the Saints.... Bucs.

Jaguars (2-12) – Jets (3-11). Now here's a game I must watch. NOT! Nonetheless I'll take Trevor Lawrence to make something happen somehow. Jaguars.

Lions (2-11-1) – Falcons (6-8) Can the Lions win two in a row? No! Falcons.

Chargers (8-6) – Texans (3-11). Wouldn't it be just like the Chargers to lose to the lowly Texans when LA is fighting for the playoffs? They have had ten days off and hopefully the coach won't go for it on fourth down five times. Chargers.

Ravens (8-6) – Bengals (8-6). Not that I'm very high on the Bengals but I don't think the Ravens are going to win another game this season. Bengals.

3:05 PM CST

Bears (4-10) – Seahawks (5-9). Wow, here's another tough one to call. I can't take the Bears no matter who the opponent is... Seahawks.

3:25 PM CST

Steelers (7-6-1) – Chiefs (10-4). The Steelers... they just keep hanging around. But I don't think the Chiefs can manage to drop this one if they score 14 or more points. Chiefs.

Broncos (7-7) – Raiders (7-7). The Raiders ... every time I'm ready to write them off they pull one out like last week. But not today. Broncos.

7:20 PM CST

Washington (6-8) - Cowboys (10-4). Although the WFT has somehow managed to win six games they come a cropper against the 'Boys who simply have too many options on offense. Cowboys.

MONDAY, DECEMBER 27TH 7:15 PM CST

Dolphins (7-7) – Saints (7-7). The Dolphins have won six in a row. Yes, the Dolphins have won six in a row. The Saints don't have a QB - in fact one might say they haven't had a QB for a month or so now..... Dolphins.

Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!
