2007 NFL Week 16

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.

2007 NFL Week 15

2007 NFL Week 15

Thursday, December 13 2007

Denver Broncos at Houston Texans

Eddie – BRONCOS
Broncos are playing too good right now plus the Texans are lacking a consistent running game.

Fred – BRONCOS
Sage and the Texans won last week, but not this week. Denver's offense is clicking and trying to make a playoff run.

Saturday, December 15 2007

Cincinnati Bengals at San Francisco 49ers

Eddie – BENGALS
Only because the 49ers can’t find the endzone.

Fred – 49ERS
Niners are finally ditching the zero and are going with a hero (hopefully) at QB. Frank Gore wants to hit the 1,000 yard rushing mark and he still has a ways to go. They get revenge for that thumping they took against the Vikings and barely beat the Bengals. Upset pick #1!

Sunday, December 16 2007

Baltimore Ravens at Miami Dolphins

Eddie – RAVENS
Ravens have lost 7 straight (or is it 8?) ahh who cares. Miami has lost 13 straight. Ravens don’t want to be the team that loses to Miami.

Fred – DOLPHINS
This is it! Dolphins get their 1 st win! The Ravens spirit is still broken after that loss to New England . Upset pick #2!

Tennessee Titans at Kansas City Chiefs

Eddie – CHIEFS
Only because this is in Arrowhead.

Fred – TITANS
It's meant to be that Herm gets fired at the end of the season. Haynesworth looks like he's a go so the Titans get the "W" in KC.

New York Jets at New England Patriots

Eddie – PATRIOTS
Only a blind man who can’t hear would pick the Jets. Say what?

Fred – PATRIOTS
23 point spread…are you kidding me? LOL! Belichick is eye-balling those NFL records and wants break a bunch of them. The Jets become another victim. Patriots win in a landslide.

Green Bay Packers at St. Louis Rams

Eddie – PACKERS
Favre is just too much and with a running game he’s unbeatable.

Fred – PACKERS
The Rams only score 10 against the Bengals defense with Berlin at QB. Even if Bulger is the starter, the best team in the NFC thumps the lowly Rams.

Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Eddie – BUCCANEERS
Falcons season is over.

Fred – BUCCANEERS
The Bucs, at home, against a team who just had their coach resign during the season, and his head wasn't even on the chopping block! Either Petrino was the main problem with this team and the Falcons stun the Bucs, or the Bucs take advantage of a team in disarray. I believe it's going to be the latter.

Buffalo Bills at Cleveland Browns

Eddie – BROWNS
Even though the Bills are playing better I don’t believe they have the offensive weapons to match up with the Browns.

Fred – BROWNS
Toughest pick this week. Even though only two balls went to Lee Evans, it looks like Edwards might finally be using his best weapon. But, the Browns are at home and they almost guaranteed to put up 20+ points, which Buffalo has only done 3 times this year.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Pittsburgh Steelers

Eddie – JAGUARS
Go look at the records of the week after a team plays the Patriots. Meaning.. Steelers go down.

Fred – STEELERS
The Steelers desperately need Troy Polamalu. They'd definitely win if he was playing. I'm still going with them this week since they're at home. But, it's going to be a really close game.

Arizona Cardinals at New Orleans Saints

Eddie – CARDINALS
Last week Warner throws 5 picks. This week – 5 touchdowns.

Fred – SAINTS
Last week Brees throws 3 TDs and 0 INTs, while Warner throws 3 TDs too, but 5 INTs! Now that Bush isn't hurting the offense, the Saints should continue racking up the wins. The Cardinals have been consistently putting up some huge points though. This game is a shoot-out with the Saints pulling it out in the end.

Seattle Seahawks at Carolina Panthers

Eddie – SEAHAWKS
Just hit the snooze button through this game.

Fred - SEAHAWKS
Even though they still try to run, the Seahawks have figured out that their passing game is lethal. After the BYE week, the Panthers are 1-6 with their only win against the Niners. The Seahawks shred the Panthers.

Indianapolis Colts at Oakland Raiders

Eddie – COLTS
No match for the Colts.

Fred – COLTS
The Raiders offense, a.k.a Fargas, has bruised ribs. The Colts are in playoff form. Easy pick here.

Detroit Lions at San Diego Chargers

Eddie - CHARGERS
Chargers are playing for the playoffs. The Lions are playing for……

Fred - CHARGERS
At 10 points, the spread is little high on this game. Philip Rivers is due for a great game, and it should be this one. Though I believe the Lions will hold their own and keep it close.

Philadelphia Eagles at Dallas Cowboys

Eddie - EAGLES
Westbrook will need to have a good game and he will.

Fred - COWBOYS
Dallas had a scare last week, and the words "T.O." were not uttered during SportsCenter or any of the other highlight shows. T.O. goes off, and the Cowboys and Eagles put up a ton of points, with the Cowboys putting up more.

Washington Redskins at New York Giants

Eddie - GIANTS
For once – the Giants are holding it together at the end of the season.

Fred - REDSKINS
It's probably just a coincidence, but the Giants are 3-3 at home and 6-1 on the road. The Redskins and backup QB Todd Collins gets the Skins offense going and take care of She-Li and the Giants. Upset pick #3!

Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings

Eddie – VIKINGS
The world is introduced to the Man-Child on Monday night.

Fred – VIKINGS
Last week, Adrian Peterson was held in check by the Niners defense. WHAT!?!? This week, they play on Monday night, under the lights, with everyone watching. AP rushes for over 150 yards and 2 TDs. That Kyle Orton magic from 2005 doesn't re-appear. The Bears get pummeled.
