Crystal Helmet, Week 16
Posted by Jerry Brewer
With the college football regular season over, we're down to picking only NFL games. I'll pick 10 this week to stay consistent with what I've done all season. Let's start with the NFL version of the Apple Cup (only they're not in-state rivals), Seahawks versus Rams.
Seahawks 24, Rams 17
Why: The Seahawks are bad and battered, but they're not beyond redemption. The Rams are. Therefore, expect the Seahawks to control this game on the road even with their makeshift lineup. I see Deion Branch having another big game as he tries to prove he can still be productive.
New York Giants 28, Dallas 16
Atlanta 27, Tampa Bay 14
Green Bay 31, Jacksonville 19
New York Jets 24, Buffalo 9
Arizona 20, Minnesota 14
Pittsburgh 17, Baltimore 13
Carolina 27, Denver 23
Philadelphia 35, Cleveland 10
Kansas City 14, San Diego 13
Last week's record: 7-3
Season to date: 103-47 (68.7 percent)
