Week 16 picks

An 8-8 week, nothing to hang my hat on. I now stand at 139-85 on the season. Im pretty sure Im up to 4 straight weeks where I haven't done so hot, and am one by one falling behind the ESPN experts. Im still ahead of a few of them though. Hopefully I can end the season on a strong note.

Theres three teams fighting for two spots in the AFC, and a whopping six teams fighting for 3 spots in the NFC, including a 3 way tie in the NFC East. These final two weeks in the NFC race are going to be a lot of fun.
