Game Day Blog: NFL Week 16 Predictions & Scores!

Due to Christmas day being on a Sunday. Most of the NFL games will be played Saturday, and with that I bring you the Game Day Blog! Happy Holidays to everyone!

Reggie Wayne scores the game winning TD.
Giving the Colts their second win of the season

TNF  Houston @ Indianapolis:  You may never have thunk but, Thursday night was one hell of a game. On the Final drive of the game Colts QB Dan Orvlovsky threw the game winning TD pass to none other than Reggie Wayne. In what might be Waynes last home game as a Colt. Indianapolis went out with a bang (for a losing team.) As for the Texans hopes of clinching a first round bye have pretty much diminished, and their quarterback situation heading into the playoffs is still a question mark. Final Score: Colts 19 Texans 16.

Cleveland @ Baltimore:  With Houston losing as long as Baltimore wins out they are guaranteed at least the second seed in the AFC. Which means their guaranteed at least one home playoff game. This week against the Browns I don't see the Ravens struggling, as long as the football meets Ray Rice. Ray Rice torched the Browns D in week 13 for a career high 204 yards. With this game being IN Baltimore I can see somewhat of a repeat...as long as the football meets Ray Rice. For the Browns Colt McCoy will not start (concussion) which leaves it up to the speedster Seneca Wallace. This somewhat scares me as I think Wallace poses more of a threat to the Ravens D, however Ravens win 26-16.

Denver @ Buffalo:  If this was the Buffalo Bills of 11 weeks ago they would stand more of a chance if not win the game. But the Broncos right now are the better team, and I haven't even mentioned Tebow yet. With that being said. Broncos win 24-17.

Tampa Bay @ Carolina:  If this was the Buccaneers of 10 weeks ago they would stand more of a chance if not win the game (Deja vu?) Cam Newton, and the Panthers keep producing statistically it just hasn't been showing in the win column just yet. This game will be a little bit different. Cam passes for 400 yards, 2 touchdowns, and rushes for one more, while getting the win 34-25

Arizona @ Cincinnati:  Trap game? The Bengals are still in the race for the wild-card, but they will have to face a hot Arizona team. Who has won six of their last Seven games. Even with WR A.J. Green likely out, I still have the Bengals victorious 24-21

Oakland @ Kansas City:  With Kansas City's latest win over the NFL's number one Green Bay Packers. Chiefs player are pumped! And playing for the job of interim head coach Romeo Crennel. I had originally picked Oakland, and I still am...just slightly. Just watch out for them Chiefs. Raiders win 27-24

Miami @ New England:  The Patriots are in the position Baltimore was in last week. Win out, and they will win home field advantage through out the playoffs. Out of there remaining two opponents, Miami, then at home against the Bills. If the Pats are going to lose any of those games, I think Miami has the best shot. However, Patriots still win it 28-17.

Going to come down to the quarterback play.
Sanchez Vs Manning.

New York Giants @ New York Jets:  Game Of The Week! This game has HUGE implications for both teams. In the battle of the big apple. a win for the Giants keeps their playoff hopes alive, as a win for the Jets keeps their playoff hopes alive. Meaning both these teams are in control of their own destiny. This is the game where i think Mark Sanchez has to play his best, and get rid of his critics. If Sanchez fails I'm not sure if we can expect him back in New York for much longer. In the Giants case i wouldn't say Eli is fighting for his job as much as Eli is fighting for Tom Coughlins job. If the Giants miss the post season, they could potentially be in serious danger of losing their head coach Tom Coughlin. This is a home game for both teams, on a neutral playing field I will take Eli over Sanchez any day. Giants win 27-25.

St. Louis @ Pittsburgh:  With the Steelers already clinching a post season birth. They are resting starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (Charlie Batch will start), and with their last two games being against teams with a combined six wins. It's the perfect time to do it. By the way Rams Tom Brandstater is expected to make the start with Sam Bradford being doubtful with an Ankle injury. Either way it doesn't matter Steelers win 28-16.

Jacksonville @ Tennessee:  The Titans aren't technically eliminated from the postseason, but I think last weeks lost to the Colts. Pretty much killed any late season run they had in them. In Jacksonville if not for half back Maurice Jones-Drew a.k.a. the NFL's leading rusher, I think we are all talking about the Jags in the running for the number one pick. Even though this game is in Tennessee I don't necessarily think that gives the Titans any edge they didn't already have. Titans cling on in a close one 20-17.

Minnesota @ Washington:  Washington has definitely not been a team to sleep on the past two weeks. That's why even with Adrian Peterson back, I'm not. Another note nobodies talking about Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier. Perhaps his job could be on the line if the Vikings don't step up these last two games? anyhow Redskins win 24-17.

San Diego @ Detroit:  Game Of The Week!  Huge playoff implications for both teams, and the only reason I don't love San Diego in this one. Is because, their going on the road in Detroit, where you can expect the temperatures to drop between the 30's or 40's. I don't love San Diego but I like them in this high scoring affair. Chargers win 36-34.






Cowboys fans aren't used to seeing this^^ In December.
They will on Saturday. Romo throws for 300 in the W

Philadelphia @ Dallas:  Similar to the Chargers Lions game. This game has huge playoff implications, one teams higher than the other. Philadelphia has been fighting all season, and as much as I've bashed them this season, dream team or not. Look out for them next season. Yes it's December but the Cowboys have to figure out something to get rid of their December woes. I think they find a way this game. Cowboys win 30-24.

San Francisco @ Seattle:  You may consider this as an upset. But Seattle is at home, in arguably the best home field advantage in the national football league, Ranked eighth in the league in defense, and allow around 19 points a game. San Fran has a good defense too, but I still like Marshawn Lynch to pick the 9ers D apart. In an exciting game Seattle wins 26-24.

Sunday Night Football  Chicago @ Green Bay:  With Jay Culter the Bears "had" a shot. But since the Bears decided to trust Caleb Hanie, and now Josh McCown. The Packers clinch home field advantage throughout, and win it 30-16. Expect a Matt Flynn sighting in Sunday Nights game.

MNF  Atlanta @ New Orleans:  In one of the most underrated rivalry's in football. MVP candidate Drew Brees attempts to lead this Saints team to their 12th win of the season, and chases Dan Marinos all time passing record. While Matt Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons look to stay in position to win the NFC wild-card. I'm taking the Saints to prevail in this game, and Drew Brees will pass Marino's record of 5084 passing yards in a season. Saints win 35-25.
