NFL Picks Week 16

Yes, it's still called the Thursday Night Special - but you get BOTH side and over/under picks for the Christmas night game!

NOW POSTED

Brohm steps in at QB for Buffalo so perhaps a small spark for the Bills. Falcons tough at home, but not sure a TD better than too many teams.

Tough to go with KC, struggling mightly but if they can simply catch the ball and tackle on special teams (perhaps asking a lot) they can stay close (or get backdoor) against distracted Bengals.

Tough to expect much from either despite both giving surprisingly decent performances recently. Ugly game, ugly play - take the points.

Tempting to slate GB as another Top Pick but some concern over a flat performance, even at home. But no question the Packers are the better team by a significant margin.

Not ready to believe the Steelers are "back" after last week, but certainly some renewed confidence and keep playoff hopes alive. This one stays close throughout and we'll take Big Ben at home to win it late.

Elimination game here - not sure the Dolphins offense is fooling as many defenses lately. Texans passing game has a big edge.

Great plays harder and harder to find this time of year in the NFL - we've got 3 this week with our TOP PICKS!
And we're 6-0 with over/under TOP PICKS this season!

Easy to see the Saints finally getting an opponent they can again light up with a huge win but recent performances, and a possible flat team makes it too tough to lay such a big number.

Not unlike the Saints, Cardinals ina spot to get a big win - but again, just haven't been overly impressed with Arizona lately and with Jackson for the Rams they suck less.

Lions searching for a QB and may have packed it in for the season. San Fran playing hard for Singletary.

Risky wager in this one as we never know for sure if and when the Colts will shut it down and rest. If they play all out for 60 minutes they are a TOP PICK but since we don't know that they remain on the free pick page for week 16.

Before last Saturday and Monday Night we'd be all over the Redskins - instead we just get some added line value and still play on the home team as we've seen Dallas too often play down in games like this.
