NFL Week 16 Picks
My week 15 was spoiled by a couple surprise performances but I still managed to go 9-7, which brings my record for the season to 138-85. The Steelers are succeeding in the spoiler role and the Super Bowl Champion Baltimore Ravens are starting to find ways to win at the right point in the season. Other than the outcome of those two games, the one game that I thought would be a sure thing was the Saints defeating a solid Rams team, but St. Louis had other plans. 15 weeks down, two to go, perfection how long will you allude me?
