Written by

Normally, being just a few weeks away from the last week of the season, playoff positions are solidified and we need to take into account that teams may be benching star players.

 

Not this year though! Only two teams have clinched a playoff spot at this point and it seems that every playoff seed is still up for grabs and this is just another week!

 

Week 16 – HERE WE GO!!!!

 

(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)

 

16 – HOUSTON over Las Vegas – I’ll be honest, I’m starting to think the Raiders won’t be making the playoffs this year.

 

15 – Buffalo over CLEVELAND – Shedeur Sanders won’t be able to put up enough points to keep up with the Bills.

 

14 – ARIZONA over Atlanta – Tells you how close this week is going to be when the Cardinals are this high.

 

13 – DENVER over Jacksonville – Who knew at the beginning of the year that this could be our AFC Championship matchup??

 

12 – Philadelphia over WASHINGTON – Nothing like a game against the Raiders to get the Eagles back on track.

 

11 – CHICAGO over Green Bay – A little worried about Odunze and Burden being out … but … DAAAAAAAAAA BEARS.

 

10 – NEW ORLEANS over New York Jets – If I were the Saints, I would give Tyler Shough a full season as QB1 next season.

 

9 – CAROLINA over Tampa Bay – The Bucs just seem like they want to give the division away.

 

8 – BALTIMORE over New England – This is a horrible time to collapse if you’re the Pats

 

7 – San Francisco over INDIANAPOLIS – No truth to the rumors that, following Phillip Rivers lead, Steve Young will come out of retirement…yet

 

6 – Cincinnati over MIAMI – Not the season the Dolphins were expecting. My BOLD PREDICTION for this week is that WE WILL SEE A NEW QUARTERBACK, COACH AND GM IN MIAMI NEXT SEASON.

 

5 – SEATTLE over Los Angeles Rams – Most meaningful game of the year so far to say the least.

 

4 – DETROIT over Pittsburgh – I feel like this game shouldn’t be this low, but that’s the level of confidence the Lions have given us this year

 

3 – DALLAS over Los Angeles Chargers – It’s really weird to think that the Cowboys have an outside chance to make the playoffs let alone win the division this year.

 

2 – TENNESSEE over Kansas City – Let’s all take a moment to appreciate that this year, the playoffs will not include random shots of a family skybox alllllll game!

 

1 – NEW YORK GIANTS over Minnesota – If we think New York will win, yada yada yada

I’ve been following sports and wrestling since I can remember. Not too much, aside from my family, gives me as much joy as watching my Raiders, Blackhawks, Bulls, White Sox or WWE. Add in some honey Jack to sip on and that’s the equation for a perfect evening!
