2007 NFL Week 16
Thursday, December 20 2007
Pittsburgh Steelers at St. Louis Rams
Eddie – STEELERS
Steelers are out of the bad weather and have lost two straight. It’s time to get back to winning.
Fred – STEELERS
The Steelers are still going after the AFC North title. The Rams are going after…uh…nothing. After losing the last two weeks against two great teams (Pats and Jags), the Steelers get an easy “W” in St. Louis.

Dallas Cowboys at Carolina Panthers
Eddie – COWBOYS
Simpson or Underwood won’t be in Carolina so that means the Cowboys will win.
Fred – COWBOYS
Okay, TO didn’t go off last week, so that’s two weeks in a row that he’s stunk. Not going to happen this week. TO gets 2 TDs and the Cowboys rout the Panthers.

Kansas City Chiefs at Detroit Lions
Eddie – LIONS
Okay Lions… enough is enough. Where is that fire power we witnessed at the beginning of the season?
Fred – LIONS
The entire Detroit offense is due for a great game. At home, they pummel hapless Chiefs.
Oakland Raiders at Jacksonville Jaguars
Eddie – JAGUARS
I’ve been saying this from early on – watch out for those Jags.
Fred – JAGUARS
No Jags make the Pro Bowl team + The Raiders without Fargas = Jags vengeance and a severe Raiders beat-down
Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts
Eddie – COLTS
Colts are looking for this win so they can try and clinch the 2nd bye and home field advantage until the conference championship.
Fred – COLTS
I’m now a believer in Sage. But, can he beat the Colts in Indy? No, but Houston gives Indy a slight scare.
Cleveland Browns at Cincinnati Bengals
Eddie – BENGALS
This isn’t the year where the Browns win the division.
Fred – BROWNS
The battle of two teams with great offenses, and awful defenses. My gut says the Bengals upset the Browns, but the Browns are in the playoff hunt. Let’s go with Browns...but, it’s a close one!
Philadelphia Eagles at New Orleans Saints
Eddie – SAINTS
The Saints are just looking too good as of late. The Eagles played a hard game last weekend and I’m not sure they have enough to take out the Saints in New Orleans.
Fred – EAGLES
How can offensively, the 5th best, and defensively, the 8th best team in the league be 6-8?!?!? The Saints have been on fire, but this is the week they get cooled down by those 6-8 Eagles. Upset Pick #1!
New York Giants at Buffalo Bills
Eddie – BILLS
Usually the Giants fall apart at the end of the season and guess where we are – the end of the season.
Fred – GIANTS
How can offensively, the 3rd worst, and defensively, the 4th worst team in the league be 7-7?!?!? The Bills have somehow found ways to win. The Giants get a playoff berth with a “W”. So, even without Shockey, they find a way to win.
Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears
Eddie – PACKERS
Favre and Co. need this win and besides we all know Favre is a Bear killer.
Fred – PACKERS
Good or bad weather…it doesn’t matter. Packers continue their dominance in Chi-town.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at San Francisco 49ers
Eddie – 49ERS
Call it a hunch but the 49ers will win this game.
Fred – BUCCANEERS
Shaun Hill has a much tougher challenge this week against the 3rd best defense in the NFL. He should continue to spark the Niners offense, but the Bucs are still playing for playoff positioning. They easily take care of the Niners.
Atlanta Falcons at Arizona Cardinals
Eddie – CARDINALS
If you can’t beat the Falcons it’s time to regroup and take your team back to the college level.
Fred - CARDINALS
Since it’s in Arizona, let’s go with the Cards. The news of Parcells joining the Falcons organization hypes up those Falcons so this game is really close.
Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots
Eddie – PATRIOTS
Miami is the last team to beat New England. But – not this year.
Fred – PATRIOTS
Can Miami go on a two game winning streak? LOL…not against a team that has a 22 point spread against them!
Baltimore Ravens at Seattle Seahawks
Eddie - RAVENS
I don’t have a clue what’s going on with the Ravens but if they lose this game it will be 9 straight.
Fred - SEAHAWKS
Ravens stink. Billick and Boller need to get the axe. Seahawks offense gets its act back together and put up 30+ points in the win.
New York Jets at Tennessee Titans
Eddie - TITANS
No comment.
Fred - TITANS
Pennington doesn’t win games (except for barely beating Miami in Week 3). It appears Haynesworth is playing for Tennessee. Easy pick here.
Washington Redskins at Minnesota Vikings
Eddie - VIKINGS
Vikings are just too hot right now.
Fred - VIKINGS
Vikings have won the last 5 games, their running game is unstoppable and their defense has really stepped up. The Redskins are 2-0 with Todd Collins at QB. This one is a really close one with the home team pulling it out.

Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers
Eddie – BRONCOS
The Broncos can’t make the playoffs so they are playing for their season. I call this Redemption Revenge.
Fred –CHARGERS
In Week 5, in Denver, the Chargers crushed the Broncos. Under the big Monday night lights, in San Diego, the Chargers should easily repeat that same performance.
