NFL Expert Picks Week 16 – Part One
By Jeff Ellis
8-8 last week, and nothing to brag about there. Like the Giants, I will return to my winning ways this week.
Falcons @ Lions Falcons win. The 12-2 Falcons should crush the 4-10 Lions. The Falcons have clinched their division but they need another win to help secure home field advantage.
Saints @ Cowboys I like the underdog Saints. They want to win two in a row to finish the season at 8-8. Also, this is the Saints’ last opportunity to be significant this season. If they beat the Cowboys then the Cowboys will almost certainly miss the playoffs. I also don’t think the Cowboys can squeak out another win. They’ve had very close games recently and I don’t think that team can continue winning like that. I also like the Saints’ +1 turnover ratio compared the Cowboys’ -9 turnover ratio.
Titans @ Packers Packers win. The Packers are 10-4, 6-1 at home, and have won eight of their last nine games. Tennessee is 5-9 and 2-5 on the road.
Colts @ Chiefs The Colts will win. The Colts are 9-5 and can clinch a playoff spot this week. The Chiefs are 2-12.
