What can I say?  Another craptacular week.  Let me just say this, I lost some games I should have won and vice versa because the system didn't actually register my picks correctly.  I changed some of them and the changes didn't show up.  I also think it's BS how you can't change you pick at least an hour before kick off.  Whatever.

Week Sixteen Picks

IND @ JAC - The season is over for JAC.  Not so much for IND.  They need a win to help cement a Wild Card spot.  Plus, who can deny the power of Manning!?  As Eli relaxes to prepare for the playoffs, Peyton will get the majority of the precious Manning! particles.  Picklez Pick:  IND

BAL @ DAL - Who wants it more?  Both teams need a win to try and stay in the playoff hunt.  This is my upset game of the week.  Picklez Pick:  BAL

CIN @ CLE - This is going to be a suckfest, but I hope it ends with a win for CLE.  Goooooooo Browns!  Picklez Pick:  CLE

NO @ DET  - NO is playing for pride.  I'm sure they want to go out with at least a 8-8 season.  DET is playing for ummm... Well, let's just say that DET is contractually obligated to show up.  Picklez Pick:  NO

PIT @ TEN - This is a really tough game to pick.  In a lot of ways it could be a preview of the AFC championship game.  Since both teams have clinched their divisions, I'm not sure either of them will really push themselves.  This one could really go either way.  Picklez Pick:  PIT

MIA @ KC - MIA is in a 3-way tie for the crown of the AFC-E.  I think they are going to try and put the hurt on KC to stay tied for #1.  Picklez Pick:  MIA

SF @ STL - Why are they even playing this game?  Picklez Pick:  SF

ARI @ NE- Since ARI has clinched and there isn't anyone even close to touching them, I'm guessing they will run on autopilot.  NE needs to win to stay in the hunt for the AFC-E crown.  Picklez Pick:  NE

SD @ TB - Suck Diego.  You could say that they are better than their 6-8 record, but that's really just being polite.  TB needs this game to stay in playoff contention in the crazy NFC-S.  Picklez Pick:  TB

BUF @ DEN  - DEN hasn't clinched yet and rather than rely on TB to do their dirty work for them, I think they might try to put this one completely to bed by beating Suckalo.  Picklez Pick:  DEN

HOU @ OAK - HOU is out of playoff contention, but I think they might like to get their first franchise .500 season or possibly winning season.  Suckland isn't out to win anymore games.  Picklez Pick:  HOU

NYJ @ SEA - Brett v. the Suckhawks.  The division crown is on the line.  Picklez Pick:  NYJ

ATL @ MIN - Boy howdy!  This is a tough one.  MIN hasn't clinched and two of their division rivals are playing.  A win at home will cement their lead, especially if CHI loses.  ATL isn't going down without a fight, though.  Picklez Pick:  MIN

PHI @ WAS - Here's another game that might be meaningless.  Division rivals, but I don't think that PHI is in contention for a Wild Card slot, thanks to their tie with CIN.  Picklez Pick:  PHI

CAR @ NYG - Is NYG going to play?  It's a home game.  CAR has nearly clinched and I think a win here will do it for them.  NYG, you might want to actually play against this team because you may see them in the post season.  And I don't mean an awkward 30 seconds at the Starbucks where you know that it's CAR but you're too scared or lazy to say "Hello."  Picklez Pick:  NYG

GB @ CHI - This game will either make or break CHI's post season status.  The outlook is pretty grim even if they win, but win they must.  Also, you have to wonder if the GB home offices are questioning their wisdom in letting Favre go to the NYJ.  Picklez Pick:  CHI

THE SEASON IS ALMOST OVER!
