The Broncos and Rams meet on Christmas Day and this game looked really good on the schedule in May. With both teams at 4-10, it is not the same matchup that the NFL wanted.
Denver (+2) over RAMS
Final Score: Broncos-20 Rams-17
Now, Onto the picks for Week 16...
Last Week's Record: 7-8-1
Overall Record: 112-99-14
(HOME TEAM IN CAPS)
BALTIMORE (-7) over Atlanta: Even if Lamar Jackson is out, I like the Ravens chances to get to 10-5.
CAROLINA (+4) over Detroit: I think the Lions will win. At 7-7, a win here gives them a chance at the playoffs. I do think that it will be a close game and look for the Panthers to cover.
CHICAGO (+9) over Buffalo: The Bills are 11-3 and looking for the #1 seed. Look for them to win in Chicago but the Bears will keep it close.
CLEVELAND (-3) over New Orleans: The Browns will keep their small playoff chances alive and improve to 7-8 with a home win over the Saints.
Seattle (+10) over KANSAS CITY: The Chiefs will win at home and improve to 12-3 but I think the Seahawks will keep it close.
MINNESOTA (-3) over Giants: The Giants are 8-5-1 and in good shape to make the playoffs even if they lose this game. The Vikings are 11-3 and looking at a top seed in the NFC. I like the Vikes at home.
Cincinnati (-3) over NEW ENGLAND: The Pats are 7-7 and coming off that terrible loss to the Raiders last week. The Bengals are 10-4, winners of six straight games, and look like a legitimate contender in the AFC. I like them on the road here.
Houston (+6) over TENNESSEE: The Titans are likely going to be without Ryan Tannehill, and I just don't have a lot of faith in Malik Willis. They might win the game, but give me the Texans and the points.
Washington (+7) over SAN FRANCISCO: I think the Niners win and get to 11-4, but I have a feeling that Washington will play them tough and keep this game close.
DALLAS (-1) over Philadelphia: Dallas is 10-4 and the Eagles are 13-1, so Dallas trails Philly by a two games with three to play in the NFC East. I think the Cowboys will find a way to win this game.
PITTSBURGH (-2) over Las Vegas: The Steelers are 6-8 and the Raiders are 6-8. Both are clinging to very faint playoff hopes. Look for the Steelers to win this one at home.
Green Bay (+5) over MIAMI: At 6-8, Green Bay has to win their final three games and get help to get a playoff spot. Miami is 8-6 and still fighting for a wild card spot. Look for a close game in South Beach.
Tampa Bay (-3) over ARIZONA: At 6-8, Tampa Bay needs to win this game and stay atop the awful NFC South. Arizona is down to Trace McSorely starting at QB with Kyler Murray and Colt McCoy both out. Look for Tom Brady and his Bucs to get the win in Arizona.
Chargers (-3) over INDIANAPOLIS: I think the Chargers are about to go on a run here and get hot heading into the playoffs. At 8-6, they could definitely win their last three games. It starts on Monday Night Football in Indy.
