NFL Winners & Losers: Week 16

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, left, speaks with Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan after their NFL football game at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, La. , Sunday, Sept. 26, 2010. Atlanta defeated New Orleans 27-24.
I'm sick and I'm reading Adam Carolla's book, so this is going to be short and sweet for Week 16.

1) Saints (10-4) @ Falcons (12-2)
The Falcons went into the Superdome and stole one back in September, so I like the Saints to go into the Georgia Dome and do the same. Saints winners, Falcons losers.

2) Jets (10-4) @ Bears (10-4)
The prayers of the NFL will be granted and the NFC North will be decided in Week 17. Jets winners, Bears losers.

3) Giants (9-5) @ Packers (8-6)
The Giants are done. Packers winners, Giants losers.

4) Colts (8-6) @ Raiders (7-7)
Yeah, Oakland is a tough place to play, and this Raiders team isn't a pushover, but I just can't see the Colts not in the playoffs while Peyton Manning is at the helm. Colts winners, Raiders losers.

5) Patriots (12-2) @ Bills (4-10)
I'm sure the Bills will be competitive, like Packers were last Sunday, but I still expect the Pats to win. Patriots winners, Bills losers.

6) Ravens (10-4) @ Browns (5-9)
The Browns are fuckin' up. Ravens winners, Browns losers.

7) Titans (6-8) @ Chiefs (9-5)
The Titans finally showed up last week, but I do NOT like their chances of winning a game in Arrowhead, where the Chiefs are undefeated this season. Chiefs winners, Titans losers.

8) Chargers (8-6) @ Bengals (3-11)
Though it's becoming increasingly obvious the Bengals are better when Terrell Owens isn't on the active roster, there Chargers can't afford to leave Cincy with a loss. Chargers winners, Bengals losers.

9) 49ers (5-9) @ Rams (6-8)
I want to see the Niners, Rams, and Seahawks all 6-9 going into Week 17. It'll be like watching 3 retarded kids fighting for a chance to put the Special Olympics behind them and get beat in the regular Olympics instead. 49ers winners, Rams losers.

10) Redskins (5-9) @ Jaguars (8-6)
I guess you can say Rex Grossman and the Skins were frisky last week in Dallas, but that's just because our secondary sucks. Jacksonville's doesn't. Jaguars winners, Redskins losers.

11) Vikings (5-9) @ Eagles (10-4)
Joe Webb?? Negro please. Eagles winners, Vikings losers.

12) Lions (4-10) @ Dolphins (7-7)
To be on the safe side, I'm just gonna go ahead and pick against the Dolphins at home. Lions winners, Dolphins losers.

13) Seahawks (6-8) @ Buccaneers (8-6)
The Seahawks are terrible. Buccaneers winners, Seahawks losers.

14) Cowboys (5-9) @ Cardinals (4-10)
For some reason the Cowboys generally struggle against the Cardinals, but this team sucks so bad right now, I don't think history will play a factor. Cowboys winners, Cards losers.

15) Panthers (2-12) @ Steelers (10-4)
No one would be dumb enough to think I picked Carolina to go into Pittsburgh and win, right? Good. Steelers won, Panthers loss.

16) Texans (5-9) @ Broncos (3-11)
Tim Tebow >>>>>>>> Kyle Orton. The only problem, the Broncos defense can't stop anybody. Texans winners, Broncos losers.

This Week: 9-7 (.563)
Overall Record: 144-96 (.600)
Last Week: 9-7 (.563)
