Greg's 202(2) NFL Picks: Week 16

 You will notice I am doing these picks a little later than I usually do them. Well, there were no Thursday or Saturday games this week, so I was able to wait a little bit and see what injuries could come about. Last week, I fell victim to some of those injuries and last second decisions, as well as a few surprises. I went only 4-7 in the points category and 10-6 in the victories column. That brings my season total to:


Points: 85-103

Victories: 149-87

So without further fuss, let's do it:


Buccaneers (-13.5) @ Jets: Motivation is tough to gauge, but I think Todd Bowles wants to stick it to the Jets. Close because of the health situation, but I will take the Bucs to cover.

Points: Bucs     Victory: Bucs


Chiefs (-4.5) @ Bengals: Love this line. I just don't know if the Bengals defense is up to the challenge of slowing down Mahomes. I will take the Chiefs

Points: Chiefs    Victory: Chiefs


Rams (-5.5) @ Ravens: Lamar Jackson is questionable, but I don't know even if he plays if he will be enough. But for some reason, I think the Ravens keep this close, like they did with Green Bay. I will take the points here.

Points: Ravens    Victory: Rams


Falcons @ Bills (-14): Give me the Bills. Nothing else to say here

Points: Bills   Victory: Bills


Jaguars @ Patriots (-16): High number but given the Jags run defense against the Jets last week, imagine what the Pats can do to them. Give me the Pats

Points: Pats   Victory: Pats


Eagles (-4.5) @ WFT: Give me the Eagles, Washington has to be demotivated by last week's Dallas massacre. And as long as the Eagles aren't playing the Giants, they will be fine

Points: Eagles   Victory: Eagles


Raiders @ Colts (-8.5): I have to play this one cautiously because Carson Wentz is scheduled to come back off of COVID and play. It looks like he's good to go, but I think the game is going to be close so I will split.

Points: Raiders    Victory: Colts


Dolphins @ Titans (-3.5): I know the Dolphins are on a roll, but they haven't really played a murderers row of a schedule. I will take the Titans to derail the Dolphins comeback

Points: Titans    Victory: Titans


Giants @ Bears (-6.5): Probably one of the only teams I would take the Bears with these odds against. The Giants are bad.

Points: Bears    Victory: Bears


Texans @ 49ers (-12): UPSET PICK OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!!!!!
Jimmy G is doubtful for this game and Davis Mills has impressed in recent weeks at QB. Can Trey Lance do enough to score the Niners a win? I don't believe so. I think the Texans come in and shock the Niners

Points: Texans    Victory: Texans


Broncos @ Chargers (-7.5):  Don't think the Cbargers will be caught on the off foot again, but that hook scares me. I will take the Broncos with the hook.

Points: Broncos   Victory: Chargers


Cardinals @ Cowboys (-6): This is a show me game for the Cards. They have to prove to me they can come back against a game opponent in Dallas. So I will put the onus on Arizona and take Dallas.

Points: Cowboys    Victory: Cowboys


Lions @ Seahawks (-8.5): Think the Seahawks win, but that spread's too big for the clawing Lions. Give me the points

Points: Lions   Victory: Seahawks


Panthers @ Saints (-6.5): Saints defense will set the template in this one. I will take the Saints.

Points: Saints    Victory: Saints


Vikings @ Packers (-13): No Kirk Cousins means trouble for the Vikings. Packers will roll.

Points: Packers   Victory: Packers.
